and american white people cant see that those russian immigrants they let in in the early 90's had a part in reshaping america in a bad way.
but yet they shyt on immigrants of color who have education and a purpose. smfh.
so many of them russians came into supermarkets with their fur coats on and benzes outside waiting while buying food with foodstamps.
getting cash assistance but making off the book money. i saw these roaches come into coney island and fukk shyt up.
eating off the government with no education and no decency.
but yet they dont talk about them white immigrants that came around since the 90's

Many states offer school, home, food and in some cases job vouchers for both documented and undocumented workers in the US. In Kansas City they had an influx of Hatian/ Liberian immigrants in the 90's many were given visas and government assistance to attend school and start businesses one they graduated. But they had to be documented or in the process of obtaining documentation.

Are you referring to Refugees

 

[Elle Driver]

Immigrants get school vouchers and visas many of them literally get paid to come to America. And pretty much get the red carpet rolled out for them in regards. So the degree and income makes sense when you think about it in that light. But many immigrants are impoverished as well. Just depends on the individual drive of a person. Sure the same ratio of black Americans have degrees are have good household medians.

No they don't. Many of these immigrants are sponsored by their families or are refugees and political asylees. Do you know how hard it is to get sponsorship to work here? America is notoriously difficult to get a green card, at all. That's why you have people marrying US citizens. The Rihanna generation is a stupid label imo, she's not an immigrant and has no status here she's just eligible to work in the US because she's signed to an American label.

Americas notoriously difficult to get processed in. The ones who got it easy is Cubans, even though my husband was born here his father got a green card after a year due to the Cuban Adjustment Act.

Yea all this immigration stuff really aint even impacting black people like that because its hell for blacks to get into America anyways, i think Nigerians and Jamaicans might be the largest number? Black immigrants are in such tiny numbers that those who do come pretty much assimilate into AA culture and even then are grouped into the 40 mill Black Americans while other non white groups in America their populations are usually majority of the actual immigrants or at least a large number (pardon my wording if that was confusing).

I guess what im saying is when a black person steps foot in America you are now a n*gga as far as the census in concerned while other groups numbers are made up of large numbers of first gen immigrants thus they are seen from the lense of being say "Indians" or "chinese in American"

People just do not get it. It's extremely hard.
People have to marry/pay people they do not like while having sometimes spouses/families overseas.
Refugees
Asylums, good luck with that if you are in your 20-30s. You pretty have to lie to get it when you come from "stable" countries in Africa.
Win the lottery. I know families who play every year and they have not won yet.
