By Jennifer Clarke, published 8/10/2007

Australia’s migration and citizenship laws privilege ‘whites’ in all sorts of ways.

Kevin Andrews has not stopped black African refugee intake, only lowered it from 50% to 30%. If he really cared about Australia, he would have stopped it altogether. Australia's immigration/refugee programs must be returned to compatible sources, which means white European christian/secular: who have half a chance of fitting in. Jennifer, your utopian borderless world fails in practice - just like communism does. It's time is done, or so are we.

The night I stood up to the thugs - and why I will never do it again

"I'm no vigilante myself, having spent much of my life as a journalist in the liberal Press. Normally people like us are some of the most vocal in the land. Yet we have become afraid."

Wake up to reality - and sense

"... a large section of liberalism had become contorted by a reluctance to entertain reality. "

Britain is dead, a collection
http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/007708.html

"The upshot is that although the British do still have the legal sovereign right to control who enters and works in their country, they do not exercise it, because in their own minds they don’t have the moral right to do so. Which means that my comparison of Britain to a man who has committed suicide but who, like a ghost, does not realize he is dead and so complains that people are treating him as though he didn't exist, was correct as a portrait of the British mindset."

Under the weight of all this evidence, all Jennifer can come up with is to resettle Africans into rural areas, or prevent 457 visas from taking their jobs. That's a myopic view. Such tinkering is illusionary because groups tend to gravitate to isolated enclaves, and Skips will move away from those areas, rural or city. And if the likes of Jennifer have her way, there would be so many Africans here that talk of integration would mean one thing - how future immigrants and newborns will slot straight into an African culture, no-go zones, etc. Time for a reality-check, Jennifer.

Make up your mind Jennifer. No One is Illegal tell us that Australia has always been multicultural. Now you say we had a white Australia policy. How could such a policy survive in a multicultural Australia?

An author is mistaken-Australian legislation privileges just Anglo-Celts/Saxons, those UK-linked biologically only, and the rest of the “whites”, ”coloured” and “round-the-blacks” is simply placed on their shelves of a feudal freedom enjoyment.

Jennifer's article convieniently omits the fact that far more black africans come into Aus as skilled migrants (nurses, tradesmen, etc) than as refugees, and are welcomed into the community as they are usually literate in English, skilled and needed.

The majority of refugees are illiterate (even in their own language), cannot understand or speak English, totally without skills, generally unemployable, and a huge financial burden on the state and the area in which they are settled. If Aus was a business and the money was coming out of your pocket, who would you choose?

The huge problems of crime and unemployment in South Africa are a large part due to the huge influx (about 8m) of unemployable refugees from other countries and the violent reaction against them has come not from the privileged whites, but from the townships.

The migration to Aus post WW2 was generally of skilled Europeans, and thus cannot be compared to the refugees today.

The racism card is easy to play especially by those that turn a blind eye to the little details of reality.

Here is an opportunity to fix two problems at once; the appalling level of spelling in our community, and the need to regulate our migrant intake.

Let's bring back the Dictation Test.

Some things never change. 150 years ago it was the Irish that were forming gangs and ghettos and failing to integrate, and that a noisy minority wanted out. And look what a calamity they've been causing ever since.
50 years ago it was the Greeks and Italians that were forming gangs and ghettos and failing to integrate, and that a noisy minority wanted out. And look what a calamity they've been causing ever since.
15 years ago it was the Chinese and other SE Asians that were forming gangs and ghettos and failing to integrate, and that a noisy minority wanted out. And look what a calamity they've been causing ever since.
Now it's the Lebanese or the Sudanese that are forming gangs and ghettos and failing to integrate, and that a noisy minority want out. And in 20 years time, we'll look back at what a calamity they've caused.
In 20 years' time it will be Pacific Islands desperately fleeing their shrinking shores that will be forming gangs and ghettos, and that a noisy minority will want out. And in another 20 years, we'll look back at what a calamity they've caused.
And in 100 years' time when there's no single distinct dominant ethnic group left, there will be, oh, I don't know, bio-engineered cyborgs that are forming gangs and ghettos, and that a noisy minority will want out. And in another 20 years, we'll look at back at what a calamity they've caused.
Maybe in 200 years time we'll find those genes that cause a noisy minority to fear and distrust others that seem different, and have them carefully removed. But I'm not counting on it.
