Tensions over immigration erupted into violence in Pretoria, South Africa, this week.

What's behind attacks on foreigners in South Africa?
A series of attacks targeted foreign workers and their businesses across South Africa.
South Africa is experiencing a rise in what is being described as "xenophobic" violence.

Locals are accusing migrants of stealing their jobs and blaming them for a high crime rate.

About two million foreigners live in South Africa and a majority of them were born in other African countries, including Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Somalia.

On Friday, police used rubber bullets and stun grenades a demonstration in Pretoria when protesters clashed with migrants.

President Jacob Zuma has condemned the violence, but he also said the authorities will crack down on undocumented workers.

What can be done to calm fears about foreigners working in the "rainbow nation"?

No longer the thriving economy it used to be.
South Africa's unemployment is over 30%.

maybe we can send the libtards to South Africa to straighten these people out...

I am all for immigrants (just not illegals)

Immigrants can bring business to a country

as long as some moderation is involved... i think i was the only person to speak English at a McDonalds today... and there was at least 5 different languages i heard... makes me think i'm in a third world nation...

houston is getting bad...

It's like Dallas, "Libtard city".
Their tryin to find out where the Police and firemans
retirement fund went.

I imagine many Comanche's were saying something similar about 300 years ago

You got that right, those Spanish Conquistadors were ruthless invaders.

Them and the English and French

probrably.... But their liberal ideas got in the way and they got wiped out...

Always deflecting. Bruce Lee would be proud

not deflecting. It is fact. Where do you think the white men came from? We weren't even a country then. We were under British rule

for someone who brings up so much history, you don't seem to know much about it... The Spanish singlehandedly wiped out all of the Aztecs and Mayans... And if the English and hadn't stopped them at Mexico, you probably wouldn't be here and the rest of us would be speaking Spanish right now...or German/Japanese...

I've no need to think about such things. There are more important things to concern myself with

Then why mention it? This topic is about Africa and immigrants. How did the US become the bad guy?

Obama...

For you to ask that question, I'd have to assume you're not familiar with it history and current foreign policies

I obviously am with US history (and showed it) but again...this is about Africa and immigration

Back on topic

Are they legal immigrants?

You followed the off topic comment, mine was a response to the OP's own rhetoric. If in doubt look back and see
