Anyone who has lived in America should have seen the frustration of
the minorities — Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and women — who daily
encounter the invisible glass wall that usually bars them from attaining
the top slots ostensibly reserved for the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
(WASP) males in Corporate America.
Sometime in the early 1980s, a
television promo, with the theme ‘Bring Me Your Best,’ subtly hinted
that America might soon be asking for a substantial number of the
skilled work force of the rest of an unsuspecting world. And, sure
enough, America rolled out the visa lottery, the ultimate tool for the
re-tooling or retrofitting of its unmotivated workforce.
The
idea, some say, is to graft ‘ready labour’ from other climes to enhance
the ability of its workforce, and improve the performance of its
industry for delivery of higher throughput. More good hands would be on
the deck to achieve better results.Purchase an iPhone headset

use its official appellation, was approved by the US Congress to grant,
every year, United States Permanent Resident Card or the Green Card, to
55,000 citizens of countries considered to have low rates of
immigration to America. America, the land of immigrants, is inviting
more immigrants to come and be part of the Land of The Free.

there are decades of experience. Africa and Europe, that respectively
supplied America with cheap slave labour and managerial cadre, receive
about 80 per cent of these visas between them.
Some cynics argue
that the visa lottery which now ships highly proficient manpower to run
the New Economy of America merely replaces the slavery that brought
sheer brawn to work agrarian America. The only difference is that,
unlike the slaves that were largely regarded as chattels and
non-persons, these immigrants acquired American citizenship along with
their work permit. More generous observers however,Come January 9 and chip card

currency to the deficient economies of the immigrants’ home countries.
Others say it is a clever strategy to avert future war intentions by the
mother countries of its new immigrants, and thus preserve America’s
security.
This seemingly farfetched theory smacks of the deft
ways that the monarchies of the Old World contracted high profile
marriages to form strategic military alliances. Yet, others accuse
America of reaping off the educational systems of other nations. It was
once rumoured that more than 25,000 medical doctors that were trained in
Nigerian universities worked in America. The Yoruba adage, ‘O ja’le
onile bo tie lehin,’ which roughly translates to, ‘He who pilfers the
rafters of his neighbour’s abode to cover his own,’ is a fitting tribute
to this American covetousness.
No doubt, America hopes that a
mix of the willing hands of the new workforce, and the high
concentration of Nobel laureates resident within its borders, should
positively affect the genius and the performance of the American system.
Consider the following trend of thought: In his novel, ‘The Lost
Symbol,’ author Dan Brown argues that the power of human thought grows
exponentially with the number of minds that share the thought. He adds
that worshippers at the altar of the new and esoteric (some say,Our

nonsensical) field of study called Noetic Science, insist that human
thought, if properly focused, can affect the physical man, and also
transform physical matter.
They proclaim the time-worn cliché
that mind actually prevails over matter. They further add that because
particles react to human thought, human thought can change the world. Ah
ha! If all this seems opaque to you, just remember that two or more
good heads are better than one. America simply wants others to help
jumpstart its comatose workforce, and subdue its space. The immigrant
“intellectual workers” will be like the slaves who practically ran
ancient Greece while the Greeks indulged in wanton hedonism.
Anyone
who has lived in America should have seen the frustration of the
minorities — Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and women — who daily encounter
the invisible glass wall that usually bars them from attaining the top
slots ostensibly reserved for the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP)
males in Corporate America. A former female acquaintance who graduated
with a Bachelor’s degree from an Ivy League university fetched up as a
security guard! Things like this discourage minorities from seeking to
improve themselves. But as they travel down the abyss of drugs,
prostitution, crime, violence and self-destruction, they take some
precious WASPs with them. The present generation of American leaders is
justifiably scared that there might be no responsible citizens to hand
over the nation to in the future.
Some suggest that the American
Establishment inaugurated African-American Barack Obama as President as
part of a grand plan to bring hope to the minorities and rehabilitate
the wayward youths. They add that the visa lottery is yet another plank
of the grand plan. They posit that the wholesome imported labour force
should provide skills that America desperately needs in the short-term,
and help raise the moral tones with the old values of family, decorum
and work ethics.
Discrimination led minorities to the cesspit of
disillusionment and robbed them of the will to seek for personal
improvement. This has, in turn, robbed America of potentially productive
labour. Other culprits of this degeneracy include, but are not limited
to: The Age of Consumerism or Modern Capitalism that has put two cars in
the garage, television in the living room, another one in the bedroom,
refrigerators, microwave oven, and dishwashing machine in the

General Motors.
Many Americans have no incentive to work hard.
This malodorous cancer is getting even more compounded as more youths go
to university to acquire skills that are largely inappropriate to the
demands of the new technologies that have, among others things,
automated the manufacturing process and even replaced sales through
physical interface with online sales and merchandising. A cheeky report
indicates that a larger proportion of Asian youths perform better in
mathematics and other numerate sciences than American youths. This is a
big blow to America, that traditionally regards knowledge as its most
strategic industry.
The careless attitude of American youths to
work is also fed by the freebie unemployment claims and invalidity
benefits that have turned idleness into a profitable venture. In the
1980s, an Ivy League university professor was exposed for allegedly
running a financially rewarding unemployment benefits racket alongside
some grannies who wore mink and pearls and drove mint BMWs.
