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.

Jesus Christ Was a Black Man - According to the Bible

Jesus Christ was a black man-  according to the bible Before I begin, let me say this article is not about religion, but about history. I am not a religious person, I am not interested in religion. It's high time black people got to begin un-learning lot of the information packed into our minds courtesy of long years of slavery and colonialism. It is time for the black race to rise and claim what is ours. History has been distorted extensively to downplay the contributions of black people to humanity.  One glaring distortion is about the character called Jesus Christ in the bible, whom the ancient artists drew as a black man, ancient sculptors carved him as a black man, and even the bible itself described him as a black man in many passages. Before I go further, let me inform you that if you're a serious seeker and you're interested in digging deeper for the whole truth and nothing but the truth, no matter where it may lead to, then you'll need to first find out What

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

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 the African res

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

What is Satan? The biggest secret in the world  Pre-order my upcoming book titled: What is Satan? The biggest secret in the world Dear friends I am sorry that you haven't seen me post new articles for a while. The reason is that I am busy writing a book. The book's name is: What is Satan? The biggest secret in the world.  I am currently devoting all my time and effort in research and reading towards completing the book, so research and reading is all I do these days and have no time left to write new articles. However, in the middle of the book, I realized that the story is bigger than I imagined when I started. The story is very enlightening and it's huge! When finished, this book would free Africans from foreign religions. It would tell the history and evolution of God from out of Africa to the rest of the world. We Africans invented the very concept of God!! We Africans invented the very concept of a savior, messiah, redeemer thousands of years before there was any relig
