Peter, I would like you to take your hat off, and replace it with the average Joe on the streets. One who has a job, but its not real secure, or, has a job, but is under employed, but just cant manage to find a second job that suits the hours of the first. One that either has a mortgage or is renting and trying to save for a home, but struggles with paying the bills and feeding their three kids. So once you do this, you will see things from a whole different prospective because if you fit this bill, chances are you are not earning enough to get ahead, but too much to receive much support.

Now tell me we can invite 200,000 per year, with little or nothing to offer, and very limited job opportunities to speak of.

If you are fortunate enough to draw a five figure income, you don't see things from the average Joe's prospective, because our education system is broken, our health system is way underfunded and under resourced and our seniors are doing it extremely tough in general terms.

To simply add additional passengers, when we cant care for our own is simply ridiculous. By all means offer support, but only once we fix the shortcoming we currently have.

If we stop backing the USA who bomb the crap out of their countries and saddle them with unplayable debt,there would be no refugees who need to come here. End of hand wringing story.

Hi Arjay,

I guess you need a break every now and then from your secret cave. Isn't sunshine beautiful :)

So, when people talk about refugees these days, who do they mean ? Syrians.

Who is bombing the crap out of Syria ? Barrel bombs, chlorine gas ? The Russians.

Let's see, where are the Yanks bombing, and who are they bombing ? Eastern Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Bombing ISIS and the Taliban. At the request of the governments of those countries (except for Syria). Great. Wonderful. I hope it continues until the total defeat of ISIS and the Taliban, which could be some time.

Grab some papers before you retreat to the cave again, Arjay.

Cheers,

Joe

I hope this article is an early April fools day joke not the thoughts of anyone in power.

Take families, end up with the Sudanese refugees who are creating terror in Victoria and other states to the point.

Refugee parents of out-of-control youths are sending their troublemaking kids back to war-torn countries to “straighten them out”, fearing their children will spiral deeper into a life of crime if they stay here.

The gang is known for its public disturbance, stealing luxury cars and carrying out violent armed robberies and home invasions, acting out scenes reminiscent of violent video games like Grand Theft Auto, police said.

Apex gang members are predominately of African or Sudanese ethnicities, and mostly in their early 20s, but children as young as 13 have recently been arrested in connection with violent home invasions and carjackings.

On Tuesday, police arrested 13 teenagers after a gang of thieves pounced on a St Albans family, in Melbourne's west, while they were in their BMW.

A 12-year-old victim was dragged out of her family’s car and told she would be killed, and the family home was robbed.

The youngest of the gang was just 13 years old.

The arrests come after a 17-year-old Taylors Hill boy and a 14-year-old boy from South Yarra were arrested on Sunday, accused of smashing their way into Caroline Springs home and stealing two cars on Saturday.

They have also been questioned over an aggravated burglary at a Taylors Lakes home Sunday morning, where vehicles were also stolen.

Earlier this month, six African teenagers were arrested after an allegedly stolen BMW with nine people on board crashed into a pole in Melbourne.

Just because someone is part of a family does not mean they are going to integrate in Australia.

I notice the part in the UK you obviously don't learn by previous mistakes look at the trouble they are having over there with the refugees and you want to import them here.

If their parents are willing to send them back, then maybe they were never really refugees in the first place.
Send them all back.
