Kenyans Online Slam Ambassador Kyle McCarter for Taking Photo with Kids Who were Denied US Visas

Visas are a Privilege and not a Right. After all "East or West, home is Best."

Blacks and Kenyans in particular always want to get ruling in their favor.securing a visa to US is not part of your constitutional right but might be a previledge if there were discrepancies in the applications do you expect the consular to override and just stamp visa? By the way those are mere chess players with possibility of overstaying or simply end up enrolling into American public schools under pretex that Kenyan schools are horrible and their lives back home are in danger.there is an ongoing African cup of nations tounarment in Egypt, every match I try to watch on TV what I see is just an almost empty stadium with a couple of hundred fans dancing like wild animals, now guess what? If Euro or UEFA finals were held in the same venues, black Africans would be complain that it's almost impossible getting a ticket because every match is sold out in seconds. Africans are far behind both mentally the best they would do is hate and complain even after securing white peoples education and civilization , our rotten politicians blame Chinese in ripping off our economy but they won't credit them for standard railroad or even highways or stadiums constructed by the same Chinese no matter our country has uncountable so called engineers some with Ph Ds ( well had almost 150 of them just last week). Honestly as I said before and I say again, Sir God wasn't serious in his creation of blacks,he was just kidding!!.
Alright Welcome aboard everybody.

Ndugu yetu balozi wa nchi ya Marekani Kyle McCarter katika nchi ya Kenya amefanya kosa kubwa sana. Je, anafikiri watoto hawa wangefika Marekani na kutafuta kazi baada ya kushiriki kwenye michezo yao ya sataranji (chess) na kupotelea katika nchi ya Marekani?

Nakuomba Ndugu balozi ubadilishe uamuzi wako na kuwapa nafasi vijana hawa waje nchi ya Marekani kuwakilisha nchi ya Kenya kwenye mchezo huu. Kama huwezi, nakuomba umwuulize Nduyu yetu Donald Trump atumie uwezo alio nao kama rais wa Marekani na kuwaruhusu "Nyota" hawa kuja Marekani.

Waswahili husema, "Usikate tamaa." Nami nakuomba usiwavunje watoto hawa mioyo yao kwa kuwanyima kibali cha kushiriki kwenye mchezo huu ambao wameonyesha dhahiri ya kwamba wao ni mabingwa katika nchi ya Kenya.

Hmmmmm.... are they are scared the Kenyans will come and dominate the chess because we can do that. well you can close that door for these kids but you did not take kenyan pride away. plus can you refund their application fee since you were worried about their parent situation.

Feeling sorry for those kids. Even though it's not their right, they have a definite reason to visit US and expand their talents. The future of our nation is in the hands of young people. I honestly don't understand about the visa issuance. But taking pics with such kids is just sarcastic especially after denying them.

That’s life kidos. We don’t always achieve ours goals or dreams but we dare the next ceiling.Tripping ain’t falling, brush yourselves and try again. Keep your dreams alive one day you’ll be in a position of power and all doors will be open begging you to come through. Nothing but love and blessings for y’all

@Kikuyu Wamjomba God created us all equal. The problem is africans' obsession with something for nothing.

kenyans have corruption mentality. just because they were denied visas doesn't mean he can't be friendly, c'mon. nobody saw the documents they provided so that might be to blame.

When you hire qualified workers, train them properly, and provide them with good tools, you have confidence in their work. The Ambassador is well aware that these kids were denied visas based on current guidelines. It's not his place to second-guess his staff or show favoritism. It's called professionalism and Kenyans could definitely use more of that.

US sio Kenya,it doesn't matter who u know. I tried visa for my mother in law, I even seeked senator help from my state, but eventually she got denied...x2.

Ambassador Kyle McCarter can we know why they were denied visa. These kids were going represent Kenya so it is not a personal matter between them and the embassy. Kenyans would like to know why they were denied representation at an international event.

Nothing sacred about the US, he was protecting the kids from rampant rascists and police brutality.

For those who follow sports,Timonthy cheruiyot,a1500m silver medalist,and a leader in the on going diamond league series,with his coach they were told to disembark the plane ,and head to the American embassy for explanation.The good news is that whatever it was has been fixed,and he will line up to defend his 1mile title at the prefontaine diamond league this weekend.
The details of the incident have not come out yet,but remember that this fellow goes all over the world,and has run in USA before.May
Be this will be easier for the ambassador to explain. Ihope that this disruption does not mentally affect his race.Good luck Tomothy.Defend your title successfully. Is something we dont know going on at the us embassy?

Sasa, si he shoulda just taken the pic and shut up. Mr. Amb. Too Much Information (TMI).
