Zim Ping.
Life in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) was never great, but under Robert Mugabe, it’s become a cesspool of poverty, corruption, and violence.
They’ll be stripping the wire from those border fences at night and selling it as scrap metal the next day soon.
There’s easily more than $30 per day available to the refugees that way.
Should be interesting to read some of the replies from the build the the wall with gun towers and minefields crowd on FR.

If you will permit me :
Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny,
And in this judgement there is no partiality.
So arm in arms, with arms, we’ll fight this little struggle,
‘Cause that’s the only way we can overcome our little trouble.
Brother, you’re right, you’re right,
You’re right, you’re right, you’re so right!
We gon’ fight (we gon’ fight), we’ll have to fight (we gon’ fight),
We gonna fight (we gon’ fight), fight for our rights!
Natty Dread it in-a (Zimbabwe);
Set it up in (Zimbabwe);
Mash it up-a in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Africans a-liberate (Zimbabwe), yeah.
No more internal power struggle;
We come together to overcome the little trouble.
Soon we’ll find out who is the real revolutionary,
‘Cause I don’t want my people to be contrary.
And, brother, you’re right, you’re right,
You’re right, you’re right, you’re so right!
We’ll ‘ave to fight (we gon’ fight), we gonna fight (we gon’ fight)
We’ll ‘ave to fight (we gon’ fight), fighting for our rights!
Mash it up in-a (Zimbabwe);
Natty trash it in-a (Zimbabwe);
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
I’n’I a-liberate Zimbabwe.
(Brother, you’re right,) you’re right,
You’re right, you’re right, you’re so right!
We gon’ fight (we gon’ fight), we’ll ‘ave to fight (we gon’ fight),
We gonna fight (we gon’ fight), fighting for our rights!
To divide and rule could only tear us apart;
In everyman chest, mm - there beats a heart.
So soon we’ll find out who is the real revolutionaries;
And I don’t want my people to be tricked by mercenaries.
Brother, you’re right, you’re right,
You’re right, you’re right, you’re so right!
We’ll ‘ave to fight (we gon’ fight), we gonna fight (we gon’ fight),
We’ll ‘ave to fight (we gon’ fight), fighting for our rights!
Natty trash it in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Mash it up in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Set it up in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Natty dub it in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe).
Set it up in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe);
Every man got a right to decide his own destiny.
So...ghost of Bob Marley....how do you like your little Zimbabwe African freedom example now days ?
Now that the evil Rhodesian white devils are gone?
Lovely little ganjatopia isn’t it?
Just what you envisioned in your song....
as me: the Selous Scouts and the RLI should have never quit!
damn liberal Brits strike again . And look at their lovely little corner of the world .
What go around come around , eh? jah ...
Are you saying people risking being murdered by their nation of origin (Zimbabwe) as they escape is the moral equivalence of a nation (Mexico) who gives it’s people comic books with instructions on how to illegally enter the United States?
You don’t know the true meaning of the word “refugee” do you.
Next you’ll be telling us how the fence that SHOULD be on our southern border is the same as the Berlin wall.
Those darned African droughts again. The white devil farmers must have taken their rain machines with them when they were forced off their farms.

Uh no, this situation shows that leftist marxist economics does not work and building walls will not stop the flow of people seeking a better life in a free market economy.
President Reagan knew this, President Bush knows this, the ignorant ones are the mirror image of marxist economics, the buchanan/tancredoites.
I actually do think conditions in Northern Mexico are pretty bad. Northern Mexico is basically controlled by drug lords.
It is not as bad as Zimbabwe but the ambivalence of the border bots deeply annoys me.

So, if you were “King” what would you do concerning the problem of Illegal Immigrants entering the United States?
I wouldn't have a fetish of a guy named Jose trying to make an honest living mowing lawns or washing dishes, instead I would promote free market economics in Latin America.
There is such poverty, despair and hunger in Zimbabwe, I doubt if the country has resources for electric fences.
On the other hand, South Africa could afford something like that -- but why would they need it since they do not acknowledge that Zimbabwe has any problems...
You aren't being fair. Jimmah Carter and the American voters deserve half the credit for the successes in Zim.
this is true...but primarily it was Brit pressure against
Brit expat Rhodesians that caused to fall of the most productive and egalitarian country Africa has ever known.
Yea, that NAFTA sure cut down on the number of illegal invaders, didn't it.
Howdy Dane. Keep these criminal invasion threads bumped to the top!
Soon even that won’t be a threat as Zimbabwe won’t be able to pay the electric bill anymore.
