Abstract

This chapter shows that the migration and immigration conundrum is not a South African exceptionalism, but a global phenomenon. The aversion towards immigrants is also evident in regions such as the EU and individual countries such as Britain and France. It is also witnessed in countries like the USA. However, the targeting of African immigrants in South Africa provides a compelling case, especially given that immigrants from other parts of the world do not suffer the same condemnation as those form African countries.
