Clinic offers legal help to immigrants

I hope that while you are representing illegal immigrants because you say that they are impoverished and in need of assistance and protection that you also must be representing African Americans on the need of assistance for civil rights issues as well, you know in need of assistance and protection.

Cry for Immigrants on Mandela’s Day

My 67 minutes for Mandela’s day I spent crying for the poor immigrants again and it coincided with another xenophobic threatening to the poor black immigrants in South Africa. From my cry and empathy with immigrants I decided to write this letter of my sorrows and my dreams to help immigrants.

First to say thank you Mandela for everything you did for the world and wish you very Happy Birthday! Birthday I wish if it was possible I wanted you to commemorate and blow the candles again and again for eternal life.

I am always thinking about immigrants and decided to die for this cause, from myself being deported from UK probably unfairly in my point of view but I had to accept because we live in the world where the low sometimes diverge with justice, I couldn’t do anything, I was overpowered by people who I lived with for almost 10 years it was like I was dreaming the way they humiliated me.
We are in the age the humanity should think and realize that is wrong to condemn non criminal people like immigrants who are just looking to save their lives where is safe to do so, we should put in count that we all belongs to this same planet and for those who luckily are now in the safe or fertile land don’t forget their ancestors came from somewhere else searching for those fertile places the same way, if we go back to a human history we will see few or maybe none of us belongs where we are now and nobody can prove that their ancestors were legal, and the funniest thing is; we will all die! Why not enjoy together this short time of life we have instead of wasting our time disturbing or impeding others to live. We should give everyone opportunity to live better life according to their effort. Those who consider themselves legal don’t forget that someone have been illegal to make them legal in accord to have the better life they are having today. Please live and let others live!

I always thought maybe the British people had been changed from what I knew about them according to the history, I thought maybe now they were supportive people and had repented for what they have done to others around the world on past, but that is what their face and publicity try to show the world, the reality is something else.
Up to now when I think about what happened with me I only cry not only for me but for millions others who went or are going through the same situation around the world. What I knew about cruelty from British people on the past I lived a bit of it even in present age, probable many people will not believe me but who wants can ask anyone who have been at British immigration detention centers.
I realized the British were the greediest and selfish people in the world, they have the system of using people and then dump them, how can someone be considered illegal for example after living more than 15 years in a country working and paying tax legal? Can someone who is living illegal work and pay legal tax without being detected? But most of people I sow being deported from UK were on this situation or refugees who had stayed about 20 years are being forced to leave the country for just minor causes.
What is happening in British immigration detention centers shows that British people still the same cruel people as per my point of view, they are just hiding behind nice and fake cavers but when they get the chance to relive themselves they really do show the real British who once was world empire no wonder why. For the all 10 years I lived in UK I couldn’t believe someone could be able to kick me out of the country with only the clothes I was wearing like I was a criminal, at least when I went I had a case of 20 kilos with my personal stuff but on my forced return I had only 1 kilo of Home Office correspondence papers in my hand something which I will never forget in my life but I do forgive because this is how our world still behave almost everywhere on immigration issues, human rights are only on papers.
For the all humiliation the way I was treated I remember crying on airplane and asking to the God; will I be able to do revenge? I even believed on those people who sometime committee suicide, is when you think for something very big which you know you can’t or you are not able to do and see yourself as a big loser in front of life, I had reached that point but luckily I started thinking on good things what happened on past, the good time I had on past and more to come depending on me of course. I thought for myself people who kill themselves or others as revenge where not normal, they don’t think, even if they never had good time on past they never think for the good to come, I also thought that your enemy today can be your best Allie tomorrow. I thought on Mandela, for us black people Mandela is reason why some of us still alive I think, he gives hope to millions of lives I believe. When I thought of killing myself because of the injustice of the humanity I went through or still going through as many other people, I thought on Mandela on all he went through, punished for fighting for his and other people rights I gave up my intentions of suicide and decided to fight for my and what I think is every one’s right also. I want to fight for the right for human being to feel free to chose where he wants to live in this planet as long he don’t disturb or create danger to others. I know nobody will hear me or agree with me today but tomorrow someone will say I was right because the division is what is causing war and poverty around the world. We have many people who gave their lives for humanity and Mandela is one of them and the only strong living example, he inspires me a lot because we are living present true of his legacy. Thanks God for giving us another world’s savior which I wish we all could follow him because he showed us that we shouldn’t allow being defeated when the mission is to change the world for better living and equality of rights. At the time of my agony I remembered also the words of my father he always told me; “forgive others always if you can, if you are in situation you see you can’t, and then forgive yourself because nothing in your life happen without your permission”. And I got my own conclusion; don’t harm yourself or others to avoid what you don’t like, better die while you are fighting to change what you don’t like. I am willing to give my life in order to see changes in the way poor immigrants are being treated around the world. I think we all have the same feelings and needs, I don’t think is fair to attack or remove someone from a place where he have been living for long no matter in which legal situation that person is, because after a while the person has been changed for the adaptations of his new living environment apart from having worked hard to have his belongings or meanings of life which he is forced to leave or to be destroyed, and having to go somewhere where he have to start from zero just because of cruelty of other human being, we cannot accept it anymore we have to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, we can have many things different but not tears, always remember when we do bad things we will always pay for it no matter how long it takes and is unfair to live our next generations to pay for our brutality we should be building peace for them instead.
I wonder how come our world leaders are always having meetings discussing about eradication of poverty or to bring peace in the world. Do they think while we still calling others as foreigners or continue divided the way we are will we achieve any peace or eradicate any poverty? I doubt a lot.
I don’t have power to do something in order to help to end the brutality being used by some people from stable and rich countries in the way they treat those who comes from poor or troubled countries and forced to be illegal or refugees. I know illegal immigrants are contributing billions of money to the Social Security Administrations around the world which they will never collect. It’s morally wrong to punish a person whose only motivation for immigration illegally is a better life for themselves and their family. I feel sorry for legal people for not being immortal to enjoy their good life for eternity.

I have been around Europe and I realized who are most affected with immigration sanctions are Africans or black people, if you go around European immigration detention or deportation centers you will see 80 or 90% of the people in the centers are Africans or blacks and when you came back to African countries immigration centers 99% of the people in the centers are African blacks also, now I don’t understand how because in Europe they are deporting or removing Africans or blacks to Africa, what about Africa where are they removing Africans or blacks to?

Rich countries are fighting for the said worldwide recession now which on my point of view is not worldwide recession. I know the economists are giving so many reasons and provisions guided by what they have studied trough the old riches and monopoly countries system leaving the present reality beside. I think one of the cause of recession is the growing number of the people who want to live better life, if we don’t change the old system used by the rich countries which are now most affected will not stop, nowadays everyone want live well, those days which the good life was only for few people comparing to the number of global population are disappearing slowly by slowly. Most people is opening eyes and discovering what good life means. Before the majority of global population were paying for the comfort of the clever minority due to the monopolization of many things used by majority. People who lived in rich countries were or are forced to have credits to pay for their lavish in order to equal the standard of life in those countries, so always poor countries had to pay for the comfort of these people. The world were induced that they should only wear certain brands, drive only certain models of cars; consume only certain culture and so many other things which most of people were minded was the only products they could use forgetting even to use or make their own goods. So the countries of the production of these goods are the one who are crying of recession because people now know they can live without depending only on them. So the people who lived in countries which had monopolized the world was used of easy and good life and now things are getting tough for them, now we can see that most of those people who lived in these countries were not paying for what they were using. For example there are countries which pays their people for being alcoholic like UK , who wouldn’t like to wake up every morning and go to the pub have a drink knowing will be paid for that and live for free with all bills paid for by the system, I wondered where that much money came from, sweat from others of course part of the money is that illegal immigrants workers are discounted and can’t claim back, and the dim Sheiks that are paying millions of pounds for just 1 Bentley to decorate their yards instead of with the same amount of money buy millions of Tatas and give to the poor people who need to use them daily.
Now that the world is starting to know car is car and shoe is shoe no matter where they are made from they will have the same purpose so there’s no point to pay for huge amount anymore because something is from UK or USA etc. Now we see the reality is what is happening and some clever countries like China came in market making nearly or even the same goods at cheap prices or at prices affordable according to the living cost of each country and many people around the world wanted but couldn’t afford Nike from USA now their dreams came true they can wear from China. Here comes the saying “Who steals the knowledge can use proudly in front of the owner”. So that’s why I advise my fellow Africans never steal goods steal the knowledge to make the goods.
People say South Africa (the only potency in Africa), was not affected as others by the recession, yes of course not. South Africa don’t depend that much on the global poor people force, we know SA belongs to a group of rich countries in the world yes but South Africa has his own poor people who still paying for the comfort and easy life of the minority elite. South African elite depends more on majority of poor Africans not global as others did, that’s why survived the recession because the difference between poor and rich in South Africa still very huge and the poor still working hard for the elite. Blindness on poor African stills the main source of good and easy life of the African elite. Poor Africans they vote for African elite and work hard for other elite, both elites get benefit from poor. Here goes the song “Mama Africa wake up please don’t be late again”.
Now it seems Africa is becoming a Chinese colony hope this time we don’t give everything for free as we did on past, let’s be colonized in different way, (hope also we will not be beaten this time, as we know them how strong they are they don’t even need whips) let’s make a good deal we know already what colony means. Let’s give value what has left; Africa is now the only continent I think with more natural resources than any other continent, let’s take advantage of it. The world started in Africa and it seems will end in Africa at least I am proud of it.
Coming to South Africa I felt home and thank you South Africa for receiving me as son, thanks again for everything, South Africa was the first country as refuge I was allowed to work and study on my arrival or the day I claimed asylum, even in spite of having to often visit Home Affairs to renew my permit every 1 or 2 months and most of the employers refusing to employ refugees because of short length of time given on permit and Banks not accepting at all to open an account even knowing I am living here almost 2 years but I am not considered resident yet to have right of bank account or send/receive money from family, but am fine with my permit and I know is always renewable no worries about the long hours on queue now I am used of it and the good thing is I didn’t have problems of integration because I am in my continent with my brothers. We need to be united as Africans and most important united as human no matter where we come from or which color we are lets show the African hospitality.
Also I would like to remind leaders that they have big roles to play among their people. I know my South Africans brothers want a better life which they have been promised by their new leaders, I do understand also the past they had, we all know they use to be treated as foreigners in their own land by the white comers, reason why maybe they still think the Africans “foreigners” will impede them or take their lands as other previous foreigners did but land belongs to all who lives on it, we are all earth living what we have to do is to share it for all, at least our planet still have enough space for everyone, we don’t have to be greed.
Also most of South Africans I believe they want to have that promised good life they have been waiting (for so long), they want have it without no more struggle but life itself is struggle if we don’t struggle we are not alive or is too early to stop our struggles if you want this way, better life for our generations depends on our struggles today. I know everyone want changes but my fellow South Africans don’t forget for the right change you need to listen to your pain very careful otherwise you will move to a wrong and more painful position.
My brothers, struggle is not end yet and you need help from others as you did before in order to get the half peace of freedom you are having now. And I think what you have gained from your past struggle is only an empty cup of freedom which needs to be filled. Most people from outside when see you holding that empty cup they think you are enjoying freedom not knowing you are just holding empty cup. When English people say I am having my cup of tea they mean cup of tea, something which they enjoy or cup with tea inside of it, what fills in the cup is what count more and what needs to fill in a cup of Black South Africans freedom is economy, economic freedom is what is missing in a cup you are holding for so long. You still a guest in your own country; you have been served a cup without content on it; are you blind? If you can’t see feel it please, don’t be a guest in your own house stand up and go to the kitchen and fill up your cup.
South Africans were not supposed to chase any foreigner who comes to the country looking for job special their own Africans neighbors, South Africans should feel happy and proud by giving jobs because the country is rich, when you are rich you are not employed you employ people instead. So my fellows South Africans look careful please, what you are losing are not the jobs to do are the jobs to give, open your eyes you will see that you are blessed, thank God you have rich land, what God gives is always more valuable than anything else reason why you are packed with people from all over the world looking for your richness your natural God given wealth, you are in a land with gold “He, Who Has the Gold, Makes the Rules”. South Africa is the most beautiful and complete country in the world by its nature, is a country with everything. If I was South African I was going to keep myself busy with education in order to be able to manage the country’s resources which are giving the jobs to the people.
Most of the people say whites in South Africa are the most privileged economical and more skilled among South Africans, what is true of course but this shows they listened careful to their pain on past. They were not born rich no either intelligent, pain made them what they are now because they always never wasted any opportunity, when they were on power they did everything to put them on this good position where they are now, I don’t know what the black will be proud of when one day (when Jesus comes) and loss the power, will they be proud by saying when they were on power they used to chase all black Africans from their country?
I know also black people special in South Africa were or still on pain from no long past and now they have opportunities still doing nothing to help them. As my father use to say; “Look for example what some white people did on past, because of pain they had travelled and explored all the world, they even killed for their own protection, they robed others; occupied other people’s land; they experimented or did everything what could made them better because they were holding the power, they were united and still, now they are the race most respected in spite of all cruel things they did on past even now some still. I am not saying they were or they are not good people, in other way they have made this planet worth living on in spite of others paying very high price for that, perhaps that is part of nature maybe the world was made to go through all this”. Also I remember one day he said; “that’s why the English flag is Red and White; white represent themselves and for the good things they did; pioneers of many inventions which made the world easy living on it and the Red represent the blood for the wars they had to win the world which gave them space for comfort of better life they are living until today and they are proud of it nothing they can do is part of history”.
So why do we black brothers still hate each other making our situation even worst? See how European (the people who created our borders) they are now unite, they dismantled their own borders and the powerful countries around the region always helping others, they open the doors for almost all Europeans for free circulation live work and trade closing for poor non Europeans (most for those coming from Africa or blacks of course). Mama Africa is all opposite is closed for Africans and open for non Africans. When are we going to learn? Same as we did before when the powerful African people use to sell their own brothers to be slaves instead of protecting them, result we ended up being the less respected race. We prefer people from far come and take away all our natural resources to empower them and leave our brothers next door suffering.
By instance do we know any European or American powerful or big company which is being managed from Africa? But many of our key natural resource companies the headquarters are somewhere else, is this because of lack of space in Africa? Lack of wise African leaders maybe, I am sorry but it seems like. Also let’s not be greedy selfish when we are given power to lead we forget who is giving us the power and also never thinking on the future impacts on all what we do; most of us don’t even want to suffer or sacrifice for others we just think in our own individual present. The whites who we are always talking about them that they are having easy life (what indeed they are of course), don’t forget someone did suffer or worked on good strategy for them on past , no matter what they did but they did it thinking on benefit of their entire coming generations.
I remember the last visit I gave to my father he was sick and was not talking anymore he could communicate only by sign, when I asked for the solution for something with was troubling me with my partner he just pointed his 2 fingers into his eyes, I thought maybe he was saying “my son now I can’t help you because I can’t talk anymore I can only see”. I left upset because I couldn’t get the answer or advice from my father as usually did, he died and only now after many years I realized he had answered me that day the only problem was me I couldn’t understand the language he was using, when he pointed his eyes with two fingers he was telling me “open your eyes my son” that was the right answer for my problem I just realize now when is too late. Poor me!

We have showed the world few weeks ago during World Cup that Africa was united and able to do anything in modern world and everyone was happy, suddenly we are changing throwing away the trust. We made proud our African brothers living abroad, people we have showed the world that Africa is not only poverty and diseases as was it known before, African or black people can own expensive cars without being stopped several time by police as it happens in many Europeans or American countries etc. we have showed the world that those lessons of how to switch on the lights or how to open the tap of water when we go overseas we don’t need; at least the world now understood that when our brothers go to study in America or Europe they can do office or computer related part-time jobs instead of assume they can only be able to do only cleaning jobs; we showed the world that African kids they like to play in the trees yes but we don’t live in the trees and never did. I was very happy, for me it was like the beginning of new life new Africa, for 1 month we were only 1 African nation we did everything good the way Africa should be, why not carry on?

Let’s welcome everyone who want to come to Africa or South Africa because if weren’t the foreigners who helped to build South Africa probably it couldn’t be the powerful country as it is now, so it means is the all mix with makes South Africa. South Africa without whites will not be the same and without blacks will not be South Africa and without foreigners will not have the power it has got.

Oh I was forgetting we need to give support to Zimbabwe because our brothers are suffering there, maybe Mugabe was trying to fight for the rights of Zimbabweans the same as Mandela did for south Africans, the only difference is; in Zimbabwe no one can put Mugabe in prison because he is the president I am sure Mandela the time they put him in prison while fighting for equal rights in South Africa if he was the president of the country at that time nobody was going to put him in prison but his people maybe was going to suffer as are people from Zimbabwe doing now. Mugabe maybe was a bit late to decide with kind of Zimbabwe he wanted and because of his fault we cannot let Zimbabweans suffer in our noses the way they are, let’s ask the world to lift the sanctions from Zimbabwe please because Zimbabwe doesn’t belong only to Mugabe belongs to Zimbabweans and is part of all of us.

Thank you again South Africa for everything for welcoming me, I like South Africa than any other country, I think South Africa is the best country in the world to live just need to unite.
But I am sorry you cannot like everything in one country can you? To be honest the part of South Africa I hate are highways because there are so many accidents people have to make sure they drive careful or don’t drink and drive, but this is not the main reason why I don’t like the highways, I don’t like most because some of them still dividing South Africans, I will give the example of M1 in Johannesburg divide Sandton and Alexandra people, if you understand what I am saying for who knows the places I am talking about will know very well how close Sandton and Alexandra is, they are very close neighbors but not close related because the highway divide them in very big way, people from Alexandra cannot go play with neighbors in Sandton because of the highway (M1), and the side of Sandton is where the best shopping mall of Africa is situated, shame. Anyway we need our cars to travel faster, but I hate you M1.
South Africa is Africa’s mother country. Always when a mother is in problem the children need to unite and give as much support needed to solve the problem of their mother. I said Africa unite!
God bless Africa
See you guys next time

Don’t forget be a human! Help Refugees and those vulnerable illegal immigrants who are suffering around the world, sometimes are vandalized or attacked but they cannot raise their voices with fear of being deported. Legalize them please!
