You should. Because he's not making any Kenyan Olympic teams. And those that think making the US 5k team is harder than the Kenyan team obviously joking.

Making the Kenyan Olympic Team at anything from 800- The Marathon Is Much harder than making the USA team, I never disputed that fact.
“This is exactly what We want. Law and order. Immigration laws are enforced. Immigration laws are created to slow immigration down to a crawl. We have enough people in our country. Internal population growth is all we need. It’s a big world out there. Live in your own country or try beautiful Scandinavia or England or Germany or Iraq or Afghanistan or Niger or Chad.“

This is so ironic, wasn’t it Craig Virgin who called him “The Refugee Kid” ? We can so easily take onboard here so many more millions and Boost our economy in the process. Not granting this guy citizenship by snagging it up is pathetic and nonsensical. It should have been streamlined years ago. It is logically incoherent to have ‘fixed’ immigration laws when growth has always been Our paradigm as a country. You have a ‘scarcity mindset’ that is paranoid about supposed foreigners taking what you have, yet all that you have, including your opportunity, was in reality taken from those who were not in your ancestors circle of power. Your ancestors stood on the backs of others to aggrandize their wealth, land and control of resources and now you want to continue your sickness of entitlement to exclude others from a life you yourself never earned respectfully.

Tell that to our budget deficit and just about all of the state/private/federal pension programs & social security that were actuarially set up as Ponzi schemes that require high growth rates.

Hahahaha omg there is so much dumb in this post.
You're aware that your grandparents did not share the culture and beliefs of Americans when they immigrated correct? Guess what happens when immigrants are given a chance? They culturally assimilate.

This is as racist of a statement as you can get without just admitting it. Please tell me more about the 'population mix'. Who got mixed in that is causing danger? Where are the statistics?
You don't have a factual basis. You just don't like other cultures. Crime was low in the 50's, rose in the 60's, peaked in the 70-90s, and is back at the 50's point now.

It's a scam. They aren't really deployed to the Middle East to combat against Muslim terrorists.
At least Qatar and Turkey are open about buying Kenyan B-list athletes.
They don't invent fake stories about them being soldiers.
It's an insult to actual US soldiers that these WCAP Kenyans are using the army for personal gains.
There are millions of guys all of Africa who would be happy to be cannon fodder for the US Army, the only reason why these guys came to the US is because they run fast and they can make more money as American runners, not because they are skilled soldiers or something.
Kibet wasn’t in the WCAP; he was in the regular Army, which is why he could actually be deployed. The WCAP guys just run.
Immigration is by far the largest contributor to our population growth. As natural increases shrink more and more eventually I believe our natural population growth will be negative in the next 50 years.

Cheserek clearly wants to become a US citizen, but our country is anti-immigration under the current leadership, especially if immigrants come from from non-white countries.
Except the difficulties all started under the Obama admin.
While the US is the most open and welcoming country in the world to immigrants, the immigration system is still broken here. And I’m a naturalized citizen.
