Yours is the best comment...for 17 years i have been working very hard ...been sending money back home every month..and i know if i go back home now with little money, those same people will despise me and hate me...people living in foreign countries facing and suffering all kinds of hardships are under enormous pressure..with no way out.

​@@SarahAndrews24That was the Best true comment ever...especially sending money back home to people who shun them!

If any family treats u like that leave them and get ur own family simple

These NGOs lie to migrants research who's funding NGOs like IsraAid listen to Barbara Learner Spectre this has all been planned, they want to split up Europe into Christian and non Christian areas just more division. It's how they stay in power .

​@@SarahAndrews24 You are not oblige to do that!! Please save yourself and your future and the future of you children. If they want money and they think it's easy here, they can also try the journey

I agree.

All those who come on the boats look like they have just been living on the streets of Africa. When their children have drowned, parents have said on camera they do not care but will send more of their 20+ children. Educated migrants do not tell their families if they work as cleaners becoz they are ashamed their status takes a hit.

Whenever their leaders try or the people try, your governments destabilize them I don't want to start talking so much but whenever African countries try to get better your country and it's allies destabilize them to benefit you and your family

Well they possibly could if colonialism wasn’t still robbing their countries blind.

It is difficult to stay home and make your country better because the suffering and misery are very deep and intense. The West deeply weighs in in the African resources and minerals. They behave as the masters, putting in power the leaders that work for them and not for the people.

I had the same exact problem lol.

Now, $100 US dollars means nothing to them. They expect thousands now….as if we have a money tree in America. Please tell me how to grow one if anyone knows how!

​@@qwenqwen1476Even when you send money to them, they would not even bother to call you that they have received the money until you call to ask if they receive the money.

@@danielkomolafe936 Happens in all the developing countries with families, they love you or pretend to as long as the you are the ATM. As soon as this is cut off all the backstabbing starts. Happened to me too. But only we can stop this coercion/fear by just saying NO. Parents must not have children so they are an insurance. Not sending remittances will help families to Stop Breeding and take their responsibilities seriously.

Yes that’s what we did and only had 2 children because that’s what we could afford.

Having children is an inherently selfish act....according to ghandi

Traditionally, in developing countries people had many children because many died. They also wanted some children to survive long enough to take care of them in their old age. They didn't have the Canada Pension Plan or social security

@@rickrollrizal2747I don’t think Europe has a choice, the EU decided that and they withhold funds if you don’t fall in line. The whole west is doing this under the force of those holding all the money

They do not care about European citizens but feel entitled by the UN protection policies. Problem is all the developing world including India must stop their Breeding factories which are working at full capacity. Parents have large families and coerce and pay smugglers to get to Europe and send money home. World Bank puts Indians with the highest remittances at 3% of GDP. Families only mean one thing paying for 10+ irresponsible family members.

​@@kreativeforce532Yeah, it's a lot of money only if they ever make it back to Venezuela to enjoy it. It's a trap looking at it that way. The truth is you'll hardly make it back for good to enjoy the supposedly lots of money. As long as you're trapped in the US with the perceived dollar power, you'll hardly be rich by American standard because of the bills and pressure from friends and family members from your native country who erroneously believe that you are in America and are now rich. I've come to notice that those in their native countries are healthier and live longer than those that immigrated to the western countries. The so called better quality of life is the US and Europe is nothing but an illusion well advertised by the media.

@@kreativeforce532no… because they have to live here and that is expensive and takes money out of their pockets.

We are not. Myself I chose my family, my mother who is always by my side and my chosen family I build here.

You are so right. i was sponsoring an African from the Congo so that he could go to film school and he sent all of the money he saved back home to his family. On that day I asked him to leave my home. He made it to film school but without my help...I could not believe that his family sent him to American to be a caregiver for his mom who had other grown kids in Africa. For me she had too many kids and this one was sacrificed to care for the whole family. Another African from Sudan hit my car with no car insurance. I could not trust him and called the police to find out he had no insurance because he said " I had to send money to my family" I was pissed and told him he would never solve the poverty problem at home and that he needed to care for himself in America and not let his car insurance go only to suffer. He is now working like a slave 2 and 3 jobs t make ends meet because he lost his uber job because he did not have car insurance. It is shame.

Because the job prospects are extremely bleak and when you are starving and have other mouths to feed, you become desperate and will do anything.

And they wonder why they're poor.

From what I’m understanding the whole family gives a lot of money to the person who is leaving and expects to have it paid back with interest. If they come back then the whole family has wasted money and nothing to show for it. I’m not saying it’s right. Family should love you no matter what.

And the streets are NOT paved with gold.

If the grass is greener and the streets were paved with gold, it is not their grass and it’s not their gold.

It seems many of these young people are pressured to do so, like getting kicked out of the home and they take the often dangerous journey with no real plan in place, it's a recipe for disaster and seems their own family do not care as long as money comes in when they arrive to where they go. They can't win in either country. That is a painful existence. I feel for them personally.

@@Brooklynlife1000 It is a booming business so your emotions are really misplaced sadly. All leaders in developing countries benefit from Remittances and people smuggling.

I understand where you are coming from. You are right to want to protect what's yours. But they are also right to move in search of greener pasture.

You wouldn't be living in America today if your ancestors didn't move for greener pastures. The entire species would probably be extinct.

Because they're lazy and brainwashed.

The reality is a significant portion of Africans want to get rich off minimal work. It's a delusion spread to them by their parents and grandparents that if they step on European soil, suddenly they'll be wealthy, and that they are owed the toil and labour that European peoples work for their family, children and future generations. Ivory Coast is one of the fastest growing economies, and the Lebanese minority there (yes believe it or not there is a Lebanese community) managed to work and become successful. So it therefore begs the question, why cannot many of them? It all goes down to mentality, outlook, and a sense of being owed something by everybody.

@@slawekra4822 and with all the unsuccessful africans that have to return home because getting rich in Europe was not as easy as they said -- do they not get the over side of the situation which is actually the truth ? do they not hear that renting an apartment is expensive ? do they not hear that getting a job is really difficult. ?

Exactly, and it would appear that the US and European/Western governments who are intent on mass migration have joined the dots. They are creating a huge dependent underclass in perpetuity who will expect the reducing group of taxpayers to keep them. There will be resentment and conflict.

Mauritania in particular is a problematic case because the military dictatorship relies on rural support and they wants to keep their free labour.

I’m black American and screw these people who will sell their own mothers into slavery to make a buck.

The African leaders made a symbolic gesture by visit the Libyan Detention slave camps where Africans were sold but went back to their mansions and servants/maids entitled privileges and didn't lose any sleep.

Already failed. Look.

Yes it is but Nigerians have too many children who are used by parents as a life time insurance policy. Have lived in Lagos and the baby factories are in full production mode. It must start with the Leaders like your previous Mr. Buhari two wives ten children. So if he had 4 wives = 20 children.

But Europe cannot fix it...

The evil white Europeans are somehow there invisibly taking food out of their children's mouths. That's what entitles them to come to Europe where they want you to quit your job so that they can send money back home.
