Benin’s Afro-descendant citizenship law​

U.S. singer Ciara is one of the first public figures to become a citizen of Benin under a recent law by the small West African country granting citizenship to descendants of enslaved people.

In September, Benin passed a law granting citizenship to those who can trace their lineage to the slave trade.

It is open to anyone above 18 who doesn’t already hold other African citizenship and can provide proof that an ancestor was deported via the slave trade from anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Beninese authorities accept DNA tests, authenticated testimonies and family records.

Last week, the government launched My Afro Origins, the digital platform that processes applications.

I'd say that's just begging for a full body cavity search at some airport by customs... :awesome:
 
What terrorist watch list in Benin on?
You are a customs officer somewhere. A person that looks, by dress, and sounds like an American is standing in front of you with a Republic of Benin passport on a flight from the US. What are you going to think? I'd say you get extra special attention from customs because you stand out like a flashing red light with sirens as someone who's suspicious.
 
50 million mouth breathing MAGA morons have never left the state they were born in, and Canada is very far away from the Republican Deep South, making any travel to Canada by MAGA welfare queens extremely infrequent.

90 percent of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border, making a border crossing only a 60 to 90 minute drive away at most. My cousin used to cross the border from Canada just to use the United States post office, since our postal service is cheaper.
Give a it a bit of time and he won't have to come do that anymore. He will have a US post office in his province (now a State).
 
More Americans go to Canada than Canadians that go to America each year.
Americans don't 'go' to America. They are already here.
Remember Canadians are Americans too.

Possibly within a few years, several Canadian provinces will leave Canada and join the United States.

It is true that more US citizens visit Canada than Canadian citizens visit the US.
 
We appear to just live in different realities.
So? Obviously, you don't know what 'reality' or 'real' even mean or how these words are defined.
No amount of pointing to the facts in my reality will convince you of facts.
Go learn what 'fact' means, Wally. It does NOT mean 'Universal Truth'.
Go learn what 'real' means, Wally. It does NOT mean 'Universal Truth'.
Circular argument fallacy (fundamentalism).
