Do you think Xenophobia might do some good in South Africa?

Q: The Nigerians have been flooding illegally over our border since 1994 when our border were opened to every Tom Dick and Harry. Since they hit south Africa their syndicates have been very busy, for the first time we got 419 scams, all kinds of fraud and of course the drug trade in heavy drugs like, herioine, crack, cocaine and extasy has reached crisis proportions. All the drug lords are Nigerian, further more they also have housebreaking syndicates, prostitutions rings etc. Where ever there is crime involving drugs, prostitution and fraudulent scams a Nigerian is at the head of it or the brain behind it. As well as the somalians, marrying unsuspected SA's illegally or unknowingly obtainign citizenship through marriage. It seems our government are powerless....do you think xenophobia might sort this problems out? one thing that is strange is that the Nigerians never live in informal dwellings, they usually "take over" a block of flats in an area and then everything else disintegrates?

A: I was going to hold my answer back until I had observed the general sentiment but there seems to be, other than for ZXCV, some blatantly moronic and inexcusably irrelevant opinion being posted, by obviously liberal idiots who have no understanding of the South African political climate or general living conditions. It needed to happen at some point in time Lise, it is estimated that there are anywhere from 5 million to 15 million illegal immigrants in South Africa and it is a fact that many are responsible for both violent and petty crimes being committed in South Africa, the misconception that only South African blacks are violent is certainly just that, a misconception, if Zimbabwean blacks are peaceful as many would have us believe then why is their country in the condition that it now finds itself other than due to African primitiveness and an incomplete cycle of evolution? The ANC is totally inept and criminally negligent in it's reply to such foreign invasion by and in fact are directly responsible for the millions of criminals and worthless savages flooding into South Africa each day, primarily due to their incomprehensible approach to despots such as Mugabe and military regimes plaguing the African continent as well as their former and current allegiances to terrorist states across the continent dating back to their Marxist "Freedom Struggle". So yes, the ANC will not protect the interest of South Africans and the influx is having dire economic and demographic effect on contemporary South Africa, so certainly yes Xenophobia will do some good in South Africa and is in fact essential.
