Solution for Overcrowding in Nigeria

In an April 14 article in the New York Times, Elizabeth Rosenthal laments the overcrowded conditions in Nigeria and discusses the cultural basis for the problem.

There are no more than 400,000 undocumented Africans in the United States. I have the obvious solution, since this is clearly the fault of American waste, racism, imperialism, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism and all the other well-attested miscreancies of our way of life.

To atone for being prosperous (not to mention white), I feel sure sure we could absorb at least 50,000,000 of these innocent people who through no fault of their own have become victims of western "civilization."

Massachusetts has lots of room and also the correct political philosophy. So, too, does Connnecticut and other northeastern locales. I recommend we process the following allocations of these impoverished "third-worlders" as follows:

Massachusetts - 16,000,000

Connecticut - 9,000,000

Rhode Island 4,000,000

Vermont 17,000,000

Billings, Montana - 3,000,000etc.,, etc., together with provision for 5 years living expenses, affirmative action, hate crime laws, social security, unemployment benefits, legal aid in bringing suit against discriminatory actions and the other typical advantages that have so disproportionately accrued to the people who pay for them.

And then, after Nigeria, we can proceed to other sub-Saharan states that stand in similar need!
