Dr. Moroko Speaks on Immigration, Crime, and Economic Realities in America
Dr. Moroko, a regular guest on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide with DJ Nyaami, shared his insights on the current state of immigration, crime, and economic challenges in the United States. He revealed that he has recently begun full-time work while also learning more about cybersecurity.
Dr. Moroko noted that recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crackdowns have significantly reduced crime rates. However, these raids have also instilled fear among immigrants, leading many to flee from certain areas. Street hawkers, particularly undocumented migrants, are disappearing from public spaces to avoid arrest.
He shared a personal experience where he assisted ICE agents in locating a suspect from Africa. The agents had been tracking the man for two years, but upon arriving at the apartment, the suspect’s biological brothers escaped from Texas. ICE, failing to capture their target, arrested everyone in the apartment instead.
One of the most heartbreaking stories Dr. Moroko recounted was about a Mexican man who voted for Donald Trump, hoping for a better America. He had filed for his wife’s residency, but due to delays in processing, ICE arrested and deported her while she was still awaiting approval. The man, who was at work at the time, was called to pick up his three-month-old baby after his wife’s sudden deportation.
Dr. Moroko highlighted how some government officials believe fraudulent marriages and asylum applications have increased, leading to stricter scrutiny of immigration processes. Seeking asylum or getting married for legal status has become more difficult under the current administration.
The crackdown on undocumented immigrants has taken an unconventional turn. Dr. Moroko claimed that ICE is now working with law enforcement in unexpected ways, including partnering with prostitutes to expose undocumented clients. He warned that engaging with s£x workers has become a trap, as police officers have joined dating platforms to lure and arrest undocumented individuals.
The economic landscape has also changed dramatically. Previously, prostitutes charged $20–$25 for their services, but due to economic hardships, rates have dropped to $10. Homelessness has also worsened, with many people sleeping in trains for shelter. However, authorities have started arresting those who use public transportation as a place to sleep.
Dr. Moroko pointed out that even some American citizens, including army veterans, are now struggling financially and begging for money. While many Ghanaians move abroad to seek better opportunities, some Americans are also relocating to Ghana in search of a fresh start.
Another major challenge in America is the recent shortage of eggs. Dr. Moroko explained that many of the poultry farmers in the U.S. were immigrants who are now fleeing due to ICE crackdowns. With fewer workers in the industry, egg production has dropped, leading to long queues and shortages in supermarkets.
Reflecting on his journey, Dr. Moroko shared that while many of his peers in Ghana are still struggling, he has managed to purchase multiple plots of land after moving abroad. He emphasized that while some Ghanaians succeed overseas, others still struggle, just as some Americans have found financial stability in Ghana.
Dr. Moroko’s experiences highlight the complexities of immigration policies, economic shifts, and the realities of life in America. While ICE raids have lowered crime rates, they have also disrupted families and industries, proving that immigration remains a deeply intertwined issue in the social and economic fabric of the U.S.
