    Muhammad, you are right to some extent just that the Americans (following the British High Commissioner's actions are overplaying their hands. In fact , Americans must be the last to talk about illegal immigration. Apart from ...

    You are very naive and seem to misunderstand the reality of immigration in the US. Ghanaians in the US are not the same as those illiterate stowaway boys running in the EU, Bangladesh, eastern European countries.

    ILLEGAL GHANAIAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE US ARE BETTER THAN THOSE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES.
    JUST ALLOW THEM TO STAY BECAUSE THEY ARE MOSTLY LAW-ABIDING AND HARDWORKING PEOPLE.
