Over the past two decades there has been an unprecedented mass emigration of people from Guyana to America. Guyana's population continues to decline. It is now a sparsely populated territory. As many as 30,000 Guyanese emigrate to the USA annually. It is astonishing that more than half of the people of Guyana, over 700,000 individuals, have emigrated; almost all of them have chosen to relocate to the USA. There is hope for the hundreds of thousands of Guyanese living in the USA without legal immigration status! Guyana should become the fifty-first American state. All Guyanese citizens would become American citizens and American passport holders. In 10 or 15 years, Guyana will be emptied of most of its remaining population. What shall become of its national identity? Will Guyana be divided up between Venezuela on the west, Brazil on the South and Suriname (formerly Dutch Guyana) on the East? The vast majority of Guyanese will be living in the USA; its history, culture, and territory will be protected and preserved only if Guyana is incorporated into the USA!
