She’s married to a Congolese man and say she’s not xenophobic; she is just against undocumented immigrants.
“We are not xenophobic; we love people … we love foreigners, but we wanted them to be documented,”she added.
How did Kenyans react to the video on xenophobia?
Mohamed H Daad:
“Being against undocumented immigration is not the same as being against foreigners. Every country has the right to enforce its immigration laws. At the same time, blaming all foreigners for crime or drugs is an unfair generalization. Problems should be addressed through evidence, due process, and the law—not by targeting people because of their nationality.”

“1. On many undocumented foreigners in SA, I agree with them and they have their rights to voice out through demos( Doesn’t have to be violent and destructive though) Let their government address that for sure, they are to blame in alot here. And yes you can’t live in another nation undocumented, that’s wrong and they are right here.”
