 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 Africans got to begin un-learning lot of the information packed on 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 and ancient power of the black race.  If you're interested in digging deep for the whole truth no matter where it leads to, you'll need to first find out What is Satan? What is Lucifer? , then come back and read this article and it will make a whole lot of sense. Otherwise, continue reading but you'll NEVER understand the concept of salvation or the Christ principle unless you understand satan and the real meaning of the Adam and Eve story in the bible book of Genesis.

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

Why Europeans Were Able to Conquer Africa And the Rest of the World

Why Europeans Were Able to Conquer Africa And the Rest of the World. Message to Africans and black people elsewhere (Part 1)  Someone recently asked me a question saying "If blacks were already everywhere across the world like you claim, and had ships thousands of years before the Caucasians, I expect that they should have been a little more advanced. I expect that they should also have been able to defend themselves with these things and it should not have been easy for the Europeans to come into their lands and conquer them. Not only conquer them, but also go to their "brothers" lands as well and conquer them also.  Please explain to me how the Europeans were able to trump up blacks that were light years ahead of them according to you". That's a good question!.  This message, therefore, is meant for those Africans and black people elsewhere who've bought European version of history, line, hook, and sinker. It is for those who the education sys

Disadvantages of IMF- The International Monetary Fund (1)

Disadvantages of IMF- international monetary fund (1) What is the IMF?  The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were created in 1944 at a conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and are now based in Washington, DC. The IMF was originally designed to promote international economic cooperation and provide its member countries with short term loans so they could trade with other countries (achieve balance of payments). Since the debt crisis of the 1980’s, the IMF has assumed the role of bailing out countries during financial crises (caused in large part by currency speculation in the global casino economy) with emergency loan packages tied to certain conditions, often referred to as structural adjustment policies (SAPs). The IMF now acts like a global loan shark, exerting enormous leverage over the economies of more than 60 countries. These countries have to follow the IMF’s policies to get loans, international assistance, and even debt relief. Thus, the IMF decides
