International migration and illegal border crossing to South Africa have seen a dramatic increase since 1994, caused by economic recession and conflicts in other sub-Saharan African countries. However, with an economy grappling with internal demands, the South African government has responded to the influx of immigrants with a number of policy measures, including the granting of asylum, detention and deportations. At the same time the influx of immigrants has generated strong anti-foreigner sentiments among many South Africans, which creates a dilemma for a government facing skill shortages. South Africa needs to revisit its immigration regime to enhance its ability to deal with the immigration dilemma.
