Foreign economic migrants a drain on services that locals struggle to obtain

CLLR YAGYAH ADAMS | Cape Muslim Congress

EVERY generation blames the generation before. Though this may be true, the blame goes both ways.

What will the next generation say about us, with climate change, a century of deliberate war, cruelty and racist oppression? Ironically, most of humanity's problems are generated by a few people.

For example, across the Americas, racial tension and conflict is palatable as whites regularly kill blacks.

Oddly, there were no Africans in the Americas until whites decided slavery was good business and enslaved Africans and spread them across the Americas. To generate cheaper labour, whites literally bred Africans like cattle. To break resistance and hope, black families were separated to ensure alienation and to develop a reliance on the slave owner.

This “learnt helplessness and dependency” was critical to maintain slavery for centuries. Today, the progeny of the slave owners blame the offspring of the black slaves for the continued dependency.

Why am I sharing this information?

The problem is that most African American families remain broken as blacks fail to behave sensibly and continue to procreate and fail to meet their duties. Thus, whilst it is okay to blame centuries of slavery and overall black oppression when in the future will African-Americans take responsibility?

What we do today will echo into the future, and as individuals and as a collective, we must understand and accept accountability for the ramifications of our individual actions etc.

For example, the USA and its allies invaded and conspired against more than 50 nations in the past 50 years. This created refugee and migration crises that continue to haunt all of us, including locals in Cape Town. Our beautiful city is over-run by foreign economic migrants from across Africa as the economic prospect in their own nations have either been usurped by a few or ruined by some.

Though we in Cape Town had nothing to do with what happens in the Congo or DRC etc., their people are living in our city and consuming the limited resources we have. In Gauteng, 40% of all births at our state hospitals are foreigners who come for free medical care.

Yet, nobody is asking how in “God's holy name” can the few local taxpayers care for the medical and educational and other needs of so many economic migrants and foreigners etc.?

What is required is for “legal action” against those liable for the economic migration from across Africa into our nation. Somebody or some group must be held liable to pay the cost that foreigners have on our educational, medical and other services. If our government is too weak to defend our borders, perhaps the minister liable must be privately sued, or the government of the nation that is causing the trek or those fuelling conflict in that area etc, must be sued.

Local taxpayers cannot care for the millions flooding into our nation. Those responsible must pay.
