Summary
Die xenofobies-verwante aanvalle op buitelanders gedurende Mei 2008 het die soeklig skerp laat val op die teenwoordigheid van immigrante in Suid-Afrika. Die aanvalle het die volgende tipe vrae na vore gebring: Het onwettige immigrante die reg om beskerm te word wanneer hulle wettige landsburgers oënskynlik geleenthede om te werk ontneem?; Wat is die invloed van onwettige immigrante op die Suid-Afrikaanse arbeidsterrein?; Is dit reg om onwettige immigrante te deporteer terwyl hulle in ander opsigte landswette gehoorsaam en ’n positiewe bydrae tot die land se ekonomie lewer?; Hoe moet teenoor onwettige immigrante opgetree word?. In hierdie artikel word die invloed van onwettige immigrasie op die Suid-Afrikaanse arbeidsterrein ondersoek met die oog daarop om die invloed van onwettige immigrasie teologies-etiese te beoordeel. Die omvang en oorsake van onwettige immigrasie word eerstens gestel. Daarna word ondersoek ingestel na die gevolge van onwettige immigrasie op die arbeidsterrein, gevolg deur die vasstelling van teologies-etiese beginsels wat op onwettige immigrasie betrekking het. Onwettige immigrasie se invloed op die Suid-Afrikaanse arbeidsterrein word laastens in die lig van die vasgestelde beginsels beoordeel
