Abstract

The study presents an overview of the situation of illegal immigrants in Angola and Africa, putting the issue in the current and historical context about the phenomenon. Moreover a deep look was necessary to have an empirical idea of the devastating effects that the phenomenon has caused not only in the affected areas but in the world at large. The research shows the current situation of Angola and the destructive affects to the national economy and as well the damages that the phenomenon caused to the entire system of Angolan government. The study also analysed the danger of failure to put in place adequate mechanisms to deal with the phenomenon. Therefore the research calls attention to all living forces of society to joint efforts and to put in place working mechanisms, in cooperation with the whole society in combating the phenomenon and minimize its effects.

In another hand, there will be positive results if the international community joins synergies to combat the phenomenon, starting from the decision-makers and all the elite of the international politics once they direct their attention in combating the illegal immigration because it is an evil that stands as an umbrella that aggregates other evils such as terrorism, epidemic diseases, social pressure and others.

Illegal immigration cannot be taken as an isolated case by one country or region its became an political, social and economic issue for all nations because its effects has caused dramatic changes in the development of societies and has affected the world economic growth. The presence of people who are not included in the national budget of a country will surely cause problems to the state programs and the economic pressure which determine the success of projects and the fulfillment of the goals on the national level.
