350 Congolese immigrants arrive in ... San Antonio

I am not in Texas to see this but things sound like they're really getting crazy there:

These families, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo and Angola, have been on the road for a long time. Michele and his family started their journey in January. To get to the U.S., most Central African migrants start with a flight to South or Central America, according to Randy Capps, the director of research for U.S. programs at the Migration Policy Institute.

While the journey isn’t easy, Capps said, it’s preferable to the alternative, which is to make the trip to Europe by boat across the treacherous Mediterranean. In fact, Capps said, many central African asylum seekers don't even make it to the sea. They’re at refugee camps in North Africa.

"Many of them are stuck and languishing in really poor conditions, some in near slave conditions in Libya right now,” Capps said. “So, when conditions at home are desperate and the Europe option doesn't look good, the high-priced, long distance option to come to the U.S. might be worth it."

And when they get to South America, they find well-traveled roads to follow north.

"That journey through central America and Mexico has been facilitated by these large migrant caravans, by more sophisticated and faster smuggling routes,” Capps said. “And it's an easier journey from Guatemala onward than it has been in the past."

What now @Zavala? Should us white people be scared of a more diverse populace? If so, why?

White people don't have a say on diversity in San Antonio.

These Congolese showed up not speaking the native language and now they are in need of French translators, the lesson here is don't show up unless you can speak the language, which is Spanish.

Seriously, we get more California and Rust Belt migrants on a weekly basis. 300 or 400 Congolese immigrants are a. drop in the bucket.

And most of those Congolese will head elsewhere.  

But FNC will try to scare old white Texans with this.

Sounds like they are already creating jobs in San Antonio.

Serendipitous, Tony Parker just retired from basketball, he probably didn't think there was a demand for French translators in San Antonio. Now he has a big job opportunity.

Anything that reduces the percentage of wypipo in this country is a good thing.
