I think that video was taken just as the ALP came to power and the word was out that immigration rules had been relaxed.
Kevin and Julia have so many friends that want to come and visit them.

Horus,

You're still labelling a group of people based on a very small percentage of them being caught as bad apples.

Priests, scout leaders, swimming coaches... Are you saying they're all paedofiles who are just lucky they haven't been caught?

I could go on..

TCM,

<<“Priests, scout leaders, swimming coaches... Are you saying they're all paedofiles who are just lucky they haven't been caught?”>>

At least the Priests, scout leaders, swimming coaches etc have a past – their past can be checked & cross-checked with a high degree of accuracy.

Your “refugees” in most cases are unknowns –I’d suggest that unless they do something REEAAALY DUMB --- we have no way of ruling then out. And often, even when they do do something really dumb –they can,still, after appealing again and again and again (at other peoples expense, of course!)squeeze through.


It’s not that there are only a few bad apples –it’s a case of us not knowing how many bad apples we bought.

That’s why we see things like this --over sixty years after acceptance http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/stories/s71308.htm

Amicus, I guess that explains all of the terrorist activity we're experiencing in Australia at the moment. All those damn refugees we let in without checking who they were.

What is it the government is doing spending a minimum of two years processing their applications?

TCM,

I don’t know about “all” –but it certainly might account for a good part of it .

I’ll let them speak for themselves:

“It is two years since a Somali community leader in Sydney, Herse Hilole, warned that young Somali refugees in Melbourne were returning to Somalia to fight and could be recruited for attacks in Australia”

"'The authorities wasted days trying to figure out if somebody actually came from Somalia, and had not lived in Kenya, and had not stayed in Germany. And ultimately these people stayed because Germany wasn't willing to take them back, Kenya wasn't willing to take them back,' she says"

"At the time, she told the Dutch authorities she was fleeing the war in Somalia but later publicly admitted she had lied."

Amicus,

Could happen, true. Hasn't happened yet. And besides, the Somalis mentioned weren't necessarily even boat people.

An Australian born man could also grab a swag of guns and kill a bunch of innocents in Port Arthur too. Oh, hang on... that DID happen. Should we stop births in Australia too? The risk is obviously much higher considering the amount of ACTUAL EVENTS that have occurred compared to mere SPECULATION.

And once again, singling out individual cases out of a few thousand asylum seekers is hardly convincing to me. Sorry.
