Mexican Refugees Into The US & Anti Mexican Violence!

Recently, we saw on television how South Africans living along the border regions with Zimbabwe, had some very severe altercations with the Zimbabweans, and other neighbors who fled into South Africa to seek refuge from violence and death.

Thousands of Zimbabweans were killed, beaten, severely and bodily wounded, by very angry South Africans who claimed that they (the foreigners), were taking away their jobs, causing South Africans to loose those same jobs to foreigners, who were prepared to work for less.

After some weeks of violence and death had elapsed, the South African government then sent in the military to quell the violence, and create a climate of calm. But the resentment for foreigners are still rife.

Mexican Refugees:

With the ongoing Drug Cartel Wars among themselves, innocent civilians are being coerced, threatened, killed, and homes burnt on a daily basis, in the thousands. Thus creating a regional crisis, especially in Tijuana, the hot spot of this violence for territorial control.

This ongoing war has caused thousands of Mexican civilians and military personnel to seek asylum here in the USA. If this crisis continues, we will indeed have a situation here like in Palestine and Israel, The Sudan and Darfur, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

And the general feeling among many Americans polled currently, is totally against any asylum for Mexicans.
