Soyinka to ‘cut’ U.S. Green card if Trump wins and I will

Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has said he
will destroy his green card if Donald Trump
emerges as winner. On Tuesday’s United States
(U.S.) presidential election.
The green card is a permanent residence
permit for the U.S. – prized by many African
immigrants to the U.S.
His comments emerged in the video of a
conversation with students at Oxford
University in the UK.
The famous author appears to be taking a
swipe at Trump over his radical stance on
immigration.
American voters go to the polls on Tuesday
and latest polls show the two candidates are
neck and neck.
Trump is famous for his promise to build a
wall to keep Mexican immigrants out of the
U.S. if he makes it to the White House.
Under his hardline proposals, every illegal
immigrant currently in the U.S. would be
subjected to deportation if he wins the
election.
He said there will be no pathway to citizenship
or even legal status for them unless they
leave the country and get in line with
everyone else who wants to enter the U.S.,
subject to the normal immigration
procedures.
Soyinka said he feared the Republic
candidate would ask all green-card holders
to reapply to come back into the U.S.
“Well, I’m not waiting for that,” the Nigerian
author told his student audience.
“The moment they announce his (Trump’s)
victory, I will cut my green card myself and
start packing up,” he added.
