US Policy to Make Third World Scientists  Become US Citizens

 STEM Fields and Immigration

October 16th, 2012 by Romona Paden
STEM Fields

By 2018, the United States is projected to have a shortage of 230,000 science and technology workers. This year, 40,000 graduates in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields will not have a problem finding jobs; the job openings more than double the number of graduates.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for STEM workers is around 4 percent.

The problem lies in that many of these STEM students are foreign nationals studying in the U.S. with nonimmigrant temporary visas. When they graduate, they are likely to move back to their home countries and take up their professions there. Instead of providing for the country in which they learned their skills, they will compete against it.

Many industry analysts advocate for a change in immigration policy to help retain highly-skilled immigrants who have studied in the U.S. Both Democrats and Republicans know the economic implications of a shortage in these fields. President Obama and Governor Romney have stated that they hope to provide these students with green cards so that they can work and live in the U.S. as permanent residents. Reform bills will be introduced in Congress this fall.

Meanwhile, there are some initiatives that are helping bring more people to the U.S. to study STEM Careers. It was announced this week that the NeXXt Scholars Initiative, launched by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in December 2011, has matriculated young women from countries like Morocco, Nigeria and Pakistan in women’s colleges across the U.S. to study STEM.

The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 to Share Africa Among Colonialists.

The Berlin conference- the old Scramble for Africa Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 to share African resources among Europe The following material is from the book Geography: Realms, Regions and Concepts, by H. J. de Blij, Peter O. Muller, 2003 1884-1885 - Berlin Conference carves Africa into spheres of control In the second half of the nineteenth century, after more than four centuries of contact, the European powers finally laid claim to virtually all of Africa. Parts of the continent had been "explored," but now representatives of European governments and rulers arrived to create or expand African spheres of influence for their patrons. Competition was intense. Spheres of influence began to crowd each other. It was time for negotiation, and in late 1884 a conference was convened in Berlin to sort things out. This conference laid the groundwork for the now fa...

What Kwame Nkrumah Said About Neo-Colonialism.

By -
Brief Analysis on What Kwame Nkrumah Said About Neo-Colonialism At the time he published  Neo-Colonialism, the last Stage of Imperialism , Kwame Nkrumah was the President of Ghana, the first African country to achieve independence from colonial rule. One year later he would be deposed by a military coup that was supported by the American CIA. The name of Nkrumah's book is a variation on Lenin's own study of imperialism written 50 years before and named  Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism . This is fitting because Nkrumah's contribution remains the best single update on imperialism since Lenin. Nkrumah explains in great detail how the West, and especially the United States, was responding to the success of national liberation movements, such as the one he led in Ghana, by shifting its tactics from colonialism to neo-colonialism: "Without a qualm it dispenses with its flags" and "claims that it is 'giving' independence to its former su...

The Impact of Colonialism on Africa's Economic Development

The Impact of Colonialism on Africa's Economic Development The imposition of colonialism on Africa altered its history forever. African modes of thought, patterns of cultural development, and ways of life were forever impacted by the change in political structure brought about by colonialism.  The African economy was significantly changed by the Atlantic slave trade through the process of imperialism and the economic policies that accompanied colonization. Prior to the "Scramble for Africa," or the official partition of Africa by the major European nations,  African economies were advancing in every area, particularly in the area of trade. The aim of colonialism is to exploit the physical, human, and economic resources of an area to benefit the colonizing nation. European powers pursued this goal by encouraging the development of a commodity based trading system, a cash crop agriculture system, and by building a trade network linking the total economic output of a re...

How to use Twitter without VPN installed

How to use Twitter or any other site without VPN   Forgive me if you see me posting technology topic on this blog. You all know I usually blog about African history, black consciousness, and black history in general. But what you all don't know is that I am actually a technology writer but I don't post that as a blog. I publish downloadable digital products on how-to-do's showing people how to solve certain things like the one you're about to read. That's how I make money and that's why you don't see advert on this blog. The topic could be about anything. Enough said. Yesterday, the Nigerian government blocked use of Twitter in Nigeria and I have to see what I can do to help Nigerians access Twitter without spending money. If I can't use my knowledge to help someone with information, there's no need having such knowledge.    Its clear that most people won't have money to order paid VPN subscription. Fortunately, there's a way to us...

Save me from depression and possible suicide

My bitter experience with Paystack payment gateway  Sorry, that you haven't heard from me for a while with new articles. But the topic of today is not about African history or black history or culture per se. It's rather about my unfortunate experience with a payment gateway called paystack.  I've been using Paystack to receive money from customers on my travel abroad site www.emeranalytica.com and from supporters on this blog.  Since the past months, I earned over $4,000 from my travel abroad site and from donors on this site.  See my paystack dashboard screenshots below. The $2,820 was earned on my travel abroad site, while about $1,400 came from anonymous readers of this blog who either supported my documentary project fundraising or just supported this blog.  Those of you who've read my book: "what is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world" are aware that at the end of the book I made an appeal to everyone who read the book to support me r...

Role of Christian Missionaries in the Colonization of Africa- East Africa as a case study

By -

Role of Christian missionaries in the colonization of East Africa Christian missionaries in East Africa (1). Missionaries signed treaties which were later used by colonialists to take over colonies e.g. Tucker, a British Missionary interpreted the 1900 Buganda Agreement to the regents of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II. This led to loss of political, economic and social powers to the British protectorate government. Sir Harry John stone who signed on behalf of the British government confessed that;      “I John stone shall be bound to acknowledge the assistance offered to me by the missionaries especially the CMS. Without their assistance on my side, I do not think Uganda’s chiefs would agree to the treaty which practically places their country and land in the British hands”. (From partition of Africa by Prof Sempebwa). (2). Missionaries supplied information to the colonialists which they utilized to plan how to effectively impose their colonial rule on how to crash th...

The Lost History: Who stole black history ? Why was black history stolen ? Before you begin, this article has been merged with another, which led to it's being put into a small book because it was becoming bigger and bigger by the day. The book is on Amazon, title: What is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world. Author: Africason. If you truly want to understand the black history lost and how we were blackmailed by Europeans in ancient times, read the book. I so much want black people to read the book that I am willing to make it free. If I make money from it, fine, If I don't, fine. Download the book free at what is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world . I highly recommend that you read the book instead, otherwise you can read a little part below. The science of archaeology, paleontology, and genetics has all proved beyond any doubt that human life originated in Africa. They have all shown that the first humans that ever lived had li...
