Where do you stand - 1. Immigration?

[Neferti]

ANYONE who believes there is a HEAVEN is going to have all this going on for EVAH!

That's what religion is all about, isn't it? A "better place" when you are DEAD? ONLY certain people are allowed in. Poor souls.

Good Post from Brian on Ozpol

Whinge. whinge. whinge and whine, that is all we hear from the Xenophobes.

What they refuse to recognise is that Australia has a reducing birthrate. Therefore, we have an aging population. With fewer young people to support the older generation(s) in their old age. Without migration, we would be well and truly stuffed. Without third world immigrants, we would have no one willing to do the dirty jobs they don't want to do. These are facts of life in 21st century Australian society.

We are not a self-sustaining population. We are not a self-sustaining society. We are not isolated from the rest of the world and it's political and immigration movements. We can control the numbers that come and we can, to a lesser extent the places they come from.

No immigration group has failed to assimilate, despite what the Islamophobes and Racists claim. Ever immigration group has been subjected to the same slurs and hatreds, be they Irish or Italian or Greek or Yugoslav or Lebanese or Indochinese or Muslim or African all they are received with is hatred from the no-hopers who cannot or will not compete with them and expect an easy life handed to them on a platter. Tsk, tsk. ::)

I was in Sydney a month or so ago, Black Orchid. I didn't see any major different between it and every other time I've been to Sydney - a truly cosmopolitan city. Perhaps you're one of the ones who I mentioned who can not or will not compete with the newcomers.

Or Auburn, Bankstown etc?

Wear a burqa if you dare venture anywhere near these dangerous and UN-assimilated suburbs.

The thing is that we don't have the money to pay for all their social security.
We borrow money to pay it and of course it's never enough so
many of them turn to crime - home invasions and
car jackings to supplement their dole.
If asylum seekers haven't found proper jobs in the first year here they should be sent back
to where they came from.
God help us in 2050 when there are 1 billion more Africans.
