Migrants seek way out as South Africa braces for anti-immigrant protests

Thousands of Malawian migrants queued for processing at a makeshift camp in Durban, while hundreds of Zimbabweans slept on the pavement outside their consulate in Cape Town. All shared the same goal, to leave South Africa ahead of nationwide anti-immigrant protests scheduled for June 30, which many fear could turn violent.

It's BS to say anyone against illegal immigration is racist or xenophobic. There is nothing wrong with demanding that migrants enter a country legally

Buhh byeee 👋🏻 toota loooo!!!

Well well well

Don't send them to the US; go to Russia, China, or anywhere else. The US has too many troubles with migrants, and as a taxpayer tired of supporting them. Americans can barely support their own families and themselves, let alone everyone else!

It’s time to dismantle the Supreme Court, they literally gave themselves their own power in Mulberry vs. Madison and the power to define laws as unconstitutional isn’t even explicitly laid out in the Constitution. No other democracy has a judiciary as weighted as ours and that is probably for good reason. Unless they start being directly voted in by the people and have term limits, there should not be a judiciary equal to the other branches.

This march is exposing a lot of ill feelings that the illegal immigrants have towards the black South Africans who are simply asking for the respect of immigration laws.

Stay tf away from the USA

I never seen a comment section so protected.. golly gee Whittaker's I wonder why?

The will to survive. The fight for the God that rules

News agencies still don't know the difference between migrants, immigrants, and emigrants.

She ate all their food and now is ready to go home

0:50 Black people afraid of black people. I'm living in the twilight zone.

So sad to see this

Between the years 2025 and 2050, the share of the population that is White British will decline from 73% to 57%, then 44% by 2075, and 33.7% by the year 2100.
• Between the years 2025 and 2050, the share of the population that is non-White, will increase from 19.7% to 34.8%, 48% by 2075 and 59.3% by 2100.
• When White British is distinguished as a separate ethnic group from ‘White Other’, the White British will become a minority in the UK by the year 2063.
• Between the years 2025 and 2100, the share of the population that is UK-born and who are not second-generation migrants in the projection period will fall dramatically, from 81% to 39%, while the share of the population comprised of people who were born overseas will increase from 18% to almost 26%.
• When the foreign-born population is combined with their offspring, the combined proportion of the projected foreign-born and second-generation population will rise to 33.5% of the overall UK population in 2050, 47.5% by 2075 and 60.6% by 2100.
• In other words, by the end of the current century, by 2100, around six in ten people in the UK will either not have been born in the UK or born to UK-born parents.
• Between the years 2025 and 2050, the share of the UK population that is non-Muslim will fall from 93% in 2025 to 88.8% in 2050, to 84.8% by 2075 and then to 80.8% by the year 2100. At the same time, the share
that is Muslim will rise from 7% in 2025, to 11.2% in 2050, 15.2% by 2075, and then to 19.2% by 2100. This means that by the end of the current century close to one in five of all people in the UK will be Muslim

We have all the examples on how large groups of people migrating into another land and into another culture clash with the existing populace and culture. It's natural human behavior to want your space back when you feel it is being disrespected by people who are different from you, who just happened to show up one day. Pretend for a moment, what do you do if you INVITED guests to your home and they begin to disrespect and disrupt your household? You tell them to leave too?

👍Very well done …..I hope Genetic Ancestary DNA test is done in INDIA also to get such Immigrants from other countries mingrted to India are thrown out of country.
