So now you understand the feeling of being expected to suddenly come up with money for something you never planned or budgeted for. You can't even raise a once off fund to assist with the repatriation of your own citizens, yet South Africans are expected to somehow find the resources year after year to accommodate the costs associated with large numbers of illegal aliens. Then, when taxpayers question the strain on public services and finances, they're branded xenophobic. Financial realities suddenly become important when the bill lands on your doorstep, but when South Africans raise the same concerns, they're told to stop complaining and carry on paying.
