Phillip S, to put it into perspective that's the population of a city like Bathurst or Mildura, if the Left, the churches and the human rights industry had their way there would be unlimited numbers of people arriving to be immediately released into the community and given access to welfare and public housing.
The object of the excercise at another level is to get these "new arrivals" signed up to phone plans and personal loans, then job networks, english lessons, counselling and so forth.
It's a massive scam and when the refugees have been bled dry and bankrupted they're left to rot out in the suburbs, just like in Paris,London,Toronto,Naples....and so on. From there they are further preyed upon by ethnic gangs and stand over men or exploited by corrupt labour hire bosses if they're lucky.

The author is an absolute nutter, the last thing we need is another 30,000 free loaders in our community.

The system needs to be tougher so most are refused refugee status and kicked out. we should look for ways to export the author as well.

The charities want them for 1 reason the more that come the more more taxpayers money they get to look after them, when the charities look after them the real cost to taxpayers can be hidden.

The charity boss on a percentage basis get more money.

So what's the problem with letting those people in, but without social rights or benefits?

Just allow them to work hard or perish.

Nothing of course would stop those who like refugees from supporting them financially.

One can only wonder what motivates Barry York's attitudes?

Is he a person with no allegiance at all to his own people and his own culture.? An "Internationalist" who thinks that mixing up cultures in one country is the way to world peace? Or is he just somebody who takes compassion and charity to it's absolute and thinks that every Australian should sell their cloak and follow Jesus?

Barry, old mate, you live in probably the best country in the world and that is no accident. The reason why Australia is a great country is because until recently, we had a great population of people. Mexico is a shiithole because it is full of Mexicans. Iraq is a shiithole because it is full of Iraqis. Same for Afghanistan, Africa, Brazil, parts of the USA, parts of the UK, and now, parts of Sweden, France, Holland and Belgium.

There are parts of Sydney where decent people do not want to live like Sydney's "Gaza Strip" because of immigrants who are turning these areas into the Chicago of the Pacific. We don't want or need any more immigrants who hail from those societies and we certainly don't want any people who are already breaking Auystralia's immigration laws to have an amnesty. Because if we did, Barry, every person in every dysfunctional country in the world would be heading for Indonesia and booking a passage to Australia. And they will turn Australia into another cesspit like their own countries.

As JOM has pointed out in his excellent post, people from these areas do not have the same values and attitudes that we have. They are extremely racist, very loyal to their own kind, more loyal to their own former homeland, religion and culture than to any allegiance to Australia, and usually possess a dog-eat-dog mentality. Some have medieval concepts of male honour which makes them particularly dangerous, and they will eventually totally destroy the social cohesion in this country and make it into the very thing they fled from. Just look at Europe, Los Angeles, Brixton, and Paris and extrapolate forward to Detroit.
