"Has anyone asked why it is that these refugees are able to pay the exorbitant amounts that the people smugglers are demanding?"

Has anyone asked why they can't pay Qantas the non-exorbitant price of an airline ticket?

Has anyone asked why they come to Australia, which is nowhere near their homeland, on the other side of the planet, when Europe is a hop, jump and skip away?

"their priority was to get to a country that was politically stable."

Why not North Korea then?

And the irony is: the more immigrants we take from 6000 cultures, the more *unstable* we become.

"there was simply no future for them or their children"

You only get what you believe.
Or fight for.

Why are we to be responsible for their future?
What of the future of the 700,000 Australians already unemployed?
And the 100,000 homeless?

Where is your concern for their future?
Those people are ALREADY HERE!

Shockadelic,

The open-borders urgers don't ask themselves anything. They are all blab and no thought. They will still be blabbing inanely as they are swamped by these invaders.

The constant refrain from the traitor castes is that Abbott is "taking us back to the 1950's", yet I don't hear them complaining that he's honouring an outdated, 1950's era treaty to allow the latest batch of dole bludgers and drug dealers into the country.

I liked your questions, John. How about I throw some back at you?

Have you ever wondered why every non European in the world wants to immigrate to a European country? Is there something about the European way of thinking that creates prosperous societies? Is there something wrong with the cultural values of third world societies which makes them unfit to live in? If European societies keep importing unassimilatable non Europeans, and encourage them with "multiculturalism" to maintain their cultural and ethnic uniqueness, how long before European societies become third world societies themselves?

But the biggest question for you, John, is where are you going to go to after you have ruined this country?

One would have thought that all we need to do was look at the problems in Europe with mostly Muslim "refugees" causing nothing but trouble, to figure out that we do not want to repeat their mistakes. Although, Australia has had plenty of troubkle from it;s own refugee imports. The Vietnamese suburb of Cabramatta is the nations heroin capitol. The importation of Lebanese was a social and economic disaster, with Australians fleeing the suburbs where the Lebanese live. One definition of "insanity" is "making the same mistake, over and over again." Unless Germany in particular does not use it's military force to keep Muslim "refugees" from over running their country, the German will be wishing that the Fuehrer was back.

The only way that the western world can stop refugee numbers exploding, is to invade the Middle east and Africa. Recolonise them, force the people there to become Protestant Christians, and force them to accept birth control, all at gunpoint if necessary.

Australia is almost in a state of civil war. The RAAF is now about to drop bombs on "Australians" fighting against Australia, in Syria. That is what your idiotic humanitarian policies wave wrought us

7billion people on earth.
Not Europes fault at all

The people overrunning Europe remind me of big
Migrating herds of wilderbeasts.

Desperate for new, richly providing, territorial resources.

Of course they will Run across Europe when those police or army men at the borders
Have absolutely no approval to use force to drive them back. They are just like useless statues standing there.

And the refugees? Know iit. Although recently, some common sense came into play and the police have been allowed to use batons.

For poverty stricken people they all seem to have expensive mobile phones.
Western nations need to pull out of the United Nations. In terms of lives lost in conflicts
And it's having to solve the problems of every failed state in the world it has been nothing but an a disaster in the cost if our soldiers lives and billions of dollars in weapons. I said a few years ago that one day the West would come to realise it had shot itself in the foot by all this goody two-shoes business.

Well that day has just come in Europe..

One of the movement's great protagonists is Donald Trump, but why are the Democrats smiling?

Trump, along with the zero population growth and white nativist movements, helped along by pro 'European' puppets and protagonists Paul Ehrlich (The Population Bomb) and John Tanton ('The anti-immigration crusader'), have guaranteed electoral oblivion for unwitting conservatives who take on and believe their 'research' on 'other types'.

What the anti immigration, anti refugee etc. campaigners are achieving is notoriety, and guaranteeing they will slowly die out, as population growth subsides, people spread round and most will be cocoa coloured .... if not I'm sure the white nativists have some ideas on assisted dieing and who can procreate, that's what it's really about isn't it?

It is why a conservative, Angela Merkel, has welcomed refugees, because Germany like most of the developed world, understands population demographics and crashing working age/tax base population of young people, to support the other main drivers of population growth, prosperity and longevity of the oldies and soon baby boomers.....

Ironic isn't it that the grandchildren of Nazi Germany generation are welcoming refugees while the former Anglo WWII allies who fought aginst Nazis and their ideology, are suggesting otherwise, as they are being manipulated by those white nativists with admiration for the Nazis, eugenics, population control etc.?

As many Australians complain about lack of moral compass amongst politicians, media, advocates, society etc. regarding racism, immigration etc., Germany leads the way.
