US Denies Adding Kenya to its Visa Waiver Program

The American Embassy in Nairobi has termed as false reports claiming that Kenya has been added to the list of US Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

Reports by some news websites alleged that Kenya had been added to the exclusive list alongside Argentina, Uruguay, Cameroon, South Africa, Jamaica, Hong Kong, Seychelles, Malawi, and Georgia.

The reports were attributed to US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. In a tweet, the US Embassy in Kenya says the information is false.

Under the program, citizens of listed countries are allowed to travel to the US for business or leisure without a visa.

Information on the Homeland Security website shows 38 countries are listed on the VWP. No African country is on the list.

The listed countries include Andorra, Australia Austria, Belgium, Brunei Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland Italy, Japan, Korea Republic, Latvia Liechtenstein, Lithuania, and Luxembourg.

Others are Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal San Marino, Singapore Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain Sweden, Switzerland Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

When he said shit hole countries he meant it! They learnt a lesson from Somalis already, bring them here all they do is ride the welfare trailer all life long, multiply like impalas, The same is happening with refugees they impprted from Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea, NONE of them is off Welfare, plus,go to any county hospital in US, one of pregnant woman you might meet is an African ( refugee) she is on medical aid . Let them do what they have to do because majority of those African immigrants are just a burden to taxpayers. If they waive , there will be a long chain of migration to US as visitors and no one will hit the departure gate.

They are taking care of their own (that is in self interest)which is fine. All the countries mentioned are Edormite countries (Countries from the Roman Empire- countriesfor the so called "whites" ). There is nothing wrong with that.
The only problem is when it comes to us, we do not take care of our own.
Just a thought.
