Three West African bushmen recruited to build an authentic mud-hut village at the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia were denied visas because they are too poor and inarticulate.

They should just fly to Mexico and come on in with the gang.

Ted Kennedy will find a way to get them in.

(Building mud-huts is a talent that’s going to come in handy soon in this country.)

[Natchez Hawk]

The laws must be crazy.

[353FMG]

Don’t we have enough immigrants here already who can build entire mud-hut villages complete with “infrastructure”?

[NeoCaveman]

were denied visas because they are too poor and inarticulate.

Did Joe Biden screen them?

"Three West African bushmen...were denied visas because they are too poor and inarticulate."

But they let illiterates like Pelosi and Reid, and murderers like Ted Kennedy hold public office? What a travesty.

[null and void]

Why is it that I suspect if we let them leave Nigeria and come here it would improve the IQ of both countries?

[marktwain]

“After a monumental effort, we identified three bush people who actually lived in mud huts. You can't imagine how difficult it was to get them out of the bush and bring them to Lagos. We were heartbroken.”

All that effort but they could not see to have someone accompany them to help them through the bureaucracy. Sounds as if the recruiting agent messed up and is looking for someone else to blame.

“Three West African bushmen...were denied visas because they are too poor and inarticulate.”

That covers about 99% of the mutts that cross and have crossed the Rio Grande in the last 25 years.

[Twotone]

The Museum should have sent a representative to help these folks thru the system. They’re the ones who should get the blame!

[mnehring]

If I am reading this correctly, someone wanted to bring them over so they could create mud huts and a little farm and be some sort of ‘exhibit’? If this is true, that is sick. IF you (individual, not government) are going to sponsor to bring them over, how about give them a Western education so they can take the knowledge back and help future generations not have to live in a mud hut.

Post of the day and you never typed a word!! LMAO

[DoughtyOne]

LMAO, after all the multi-cultural clap-trap, these three men who have a valid reason to come here short term for a few weeks or months, and will probably be suppoorted by the concern who has asked for the visas, are denied. At the same time, folks who can’t articulate poop from refried beans and have no business here, will never be able to support themselves, pour across our borders by the millions. And we’ve allowed that for close to two decades.

We have a government that should answer to the public at the end of a... well nevermind. More lunacy from W., D.C.

[freekitty]

Best answer

[Eagles6]

Hey, here's an idea.

Instead of having them teach us how to build a mud hut, why don't we teach them how to build an actual Western house?

"She advised: "Should the applicants decide to apply again, they must make appointments using our on-line appointment system.""

They are from Nigeria - The only computers with internet access there are lined up with people trying to email me the entire wealth of their nation to split 50/50.

"She advised: "Should the applicants decide to apply again, they must make appointments using our on-line appointment system."

Doesn't she realize they only have dial-up in mud huts!

[Alouette]

But they send me emails all the time asking for my bank account numbers so that they can send me unclaimed $$millions.

[Tired of Taxes]

They should just fly to Mexico and come on in with the gang.

Great line. :-) The problem is geography. The bushmen don't share a border with us. Otherwise, 12 million could walk right in.
