They should be enforcing this kind of stuff. It should be given that these people should be granted an education, so they can find good work and possibly go back to their own country to set up shop there. The argument for them staying over their time is not enough of a reason to say they should not be provided Visas.
This is a non-sequitur. We should be enforcing the law and not giving these people too much time to stay in the country for "humanitarian" reasons. This is the problem and enforcing the law will ensure these people remain in orderly and disciplined condition. Its a difficult situation to contend with, and some people say we are improving their economy, but most end up staying here because situations over in Africa are pretty bad.
I have met at least two Africans like this. This can only mean one thing that we are not really helping them build up their economy and bureaucratic system, secondly they end up staying here and working low income jobs, and thirdly that even when we send our own medical doctors over there and supply modern technology to Africa they still can't get a system in place to provide basic care for issues that still conflict Western medical doctors, such as cancer and a more complicated approach to contending with heart disease, rather then just pill-popping. The more elite African leaders sometimes get their medical care in foreign countries, especially Europe and India.
We have the most advanced medical care in the world though and certainly powerful corporations and CEOs that back feminists and the like of Kaepernick could benevolent enough to provide emergency healthcare to Africans at a fee from African governments, who could supply the fee. I think this is the last hope, the last great White Hope to keep us from saying enough with this "humanitarianism" business.
