Video,
thanks for posting that video...the entire series is interesting and will go back and comment on the episode about education.
I think the Nigerian sister is being disingenuous with her comments. Realistically speaking overall, immigration HURTS African Americans, and it's not in their best interests to fight against restrictions. When in history has it been wise to fight for things that aren't in YOUR best interest? On the continent, South Africans felt the impact of mass migration of Nigerians there and started fighting AGAINST it. I'm not knowledgeable about the current situation in Nigeria, but when the day comes that refugees and immigrants from surrounding areas start negatively impact the opportunities or standard of living in Nigeria....the native Nigerians will SURELY not fight for the immigrants.
And yes, I am an actual immigrant and hundreds of Haitians recently moved to Canada as their temporary immigration status here was in jeopardy. My father spend a lot of time and energy helping his relatives come here legally(often at the expense of our household budget), and we continue that tradition since he's passed.
The law is the law. Whatever the law becomes, that doesn't stop you from helping your people. Unless you're employing lobbyists or funding political campaigns.....you're not fighting anything, realistically. It amounts to a lot of huffing and puffing and marching.
