p>   The Cato Institute ’s Revelatory Study: How Immigrants Delivered a $14.5 Trillion Fiscal Surplus to America (1994–2023) – And Why the “Job-Stealing” Myth Refuses to Die In an era of heated debates over borders, budgets, and belonging, one think tank has delivered data that challenges entrenched narratives. The Cato Institute’s February 2026 white paper, “Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 1994–2023” , authored by David J. Bier, Michael Howard, and Julián Salazar , concludes that the U.S. immigrant population—legal and illegal—generated more in taxes than it consumed in benefits every single year for three decades.

The triggering title to this blog post comes from the book " White Malice " by Susan Williams . Susan Williams' White Malice: The CIA and the Neocolonisation of Africa (2021) is a meticulously researched exposé that dismantles the myth of Africa's post-colonial failures as self-inflicted wounds. Instead, Williams argues that the continent's democratic aspirations were systematically sabotaged by the United States through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), in a covert campaign of neocolonization driven by Cold War paranoia, resource greed, and racial arrogance.  How does all of this tie in with the alleged claims of kidnapping and robberies in Ghana going viral on tiktok by Ms Mckay? Stay with me on this one...  "White Malice" evokes the deliberate malice of Western powers—particularly the U.S.—in strangling African independence at birth.
