[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen people on planes from Africa who can't speak a lick of English and they've been able to "afford" the ticket. Don't be so naive. Middle and upper class Africans are working top flight jobs in the US. Lower class africans are the ones who drive taxis. Fact. [/quote]

Your definitions of middle, upper, and lower class are all relative.  A plane ticket does not guarantee entry.  You need a visa if you don't come from a Visa Waiver country.  And I maintain that the poorest of the poor are not usually able to get one because they cannot overcome the presumption of intending immigration as required.  I love how people who have not worked in this area are ready to lecture me on the law.[/quote]

Ok let's agree on that. It's not the totally destitute that make it here. However can we also agree that the sons and daughters of the professional class in Africa (middle and up) don't move to the US to drive taxis and sell fake hats in Time Square. They come here to go to college and become doctors, work on Wall Street  or grab their degree and go back home. [/quote]
