Afromerope:
The New Northern Migration from the South.
Migration: The Risks and
the Truth
They leave home in
millions
for different reasons,
but travel toward same
direction all year round.
They leave home in groups
crossing seas in dinghy
boats
at the mercy of sea
pirates;
traveling through
non-navigable
rivers,
outcome no one can tell.
In droves they leave
lands they once lived
entire life to unknown
lands,
in search of a greener
pasture,
where cultures, languages,
social, and political
systems
make them look un-welcome.
In tears and sorrow they
leave
behind loved ones at homes,
undertake deadly desert
crossing
with little chance of
survival or
reaching their destinations
upward north.
In danger on highway from
robbers and marauders,
terrorists, and religious
extremists,
they travel through-
Sun dunes of Sahara Desert.
In large number,
they run away
from home-
anytime there is political
upheaval,
when religious extremism
replaces religious freedom,
lives and properties
destroyed.
In myriad they leave homes
once violence overshadow
law and order,
vandalism becomes a way of
life,
savagery becomes a tool to
settle scores
just as humans turn refugees
in their homelands.
En masse they go toward
same direction,
anytime environment
becomes unfriendly or
hostile;
in scads they escape,
anytime economy fails or
crumbles, jobs lost, and
basic life necessities
become
rare or unavailable.
The Sad Realities of
Immigrants in
Western Hemisphere
Sadly, viable, productive,
and biologically strong
groups
that are very critical to
national
development,
southern nations lose yearly
to migration of her own to
western hemisphere.
Rather than finding
immediate relief,
north-bound immigrants
have to start life afresh;
instead of being
immediate blessing to
receiver nations,
professionals from south
are under-utilized,
jobs citizens will not do
they do.
Under-employment
low-paying jobs with
little or no economic and
social values,
immigrants are compelled
to do.
What a pity!
Different stories, diverse
travails
pangs, and pains-you hear
from immigrants as they
contend with social
barriers;
battle with harsh economic
conditions,
struggle with new culture and
political systems
different to
what they know.
Migration! Migration!
Migration!
When shall mass movement
be over?
Now or later?
Destabilization agents for
migration-
war, climate change, poverty,
political,
economic, and religious fanaticism-
when will you be gone?
Inasmuch as destabilization
agents are untamed,
insofar as north refuses
to let south go its way,
to the degree that south
refuses to thrive,
but remains a crawling and
stunted baby.
Migration through various
visa diversity programs and
back way doors will be
heartened,
emigrants will be on the
rise,
immigrants the modern-day
cheap labor source will be
encouraged,
north will continue to
benefit
from south’s misfortune
and
adversity.
