Vikas Khanna gives befitting reply to US senate candidate Lauren Witzke over her 'third-world migrants' remark

Most third-world migrants can not assimilate into civil societies.

Prove me wrong.

“Third World” refugee here. I have a PhD in English and I won a Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. What have you done?

There is only one world 🌎. We assimilate just fine. I’m from an interracial family.

Besides, my English is better than yours since I can at least spell “cannot” correctly, unlike you. https://t.co/7td6IzavrV

Last I checked a map, there is only one world, not three.

I came to America 30 years ago as a refugee from Liberia. Today I‘m a physician, professor at Harvard and run a nonprofit, training & employing other Americans. I assimilated just fine.

Immigrants — we get the job done. https://t.co/auIO35cZ6G

This “third-world” immigrant works as a medical doctor in the #1 hospital in New York.

So do other professionals who ASSIMILATE & work in the finest institutions in the USA.

Hi, Satan! I’m an immigrant from a developing country (people often incorrectly use “third-world” to describe these) who just left her research position at NASA to begin a PhD program in planetary science. When working at NASA, nearly half my colleagues were foreign nationals. https://t.co/rd7WQxBudw
