Politicians have not asked anyone, including indiginese, what sort of people or how many of them they want here. We all should have a say, not just people claiming to be the first occupants of the country. Immigrants themselves can tell us what it is like to live in an overcrowded, under-resourced, poor and divided country - and they should be asked if they want their new home to end up the same way.
A few words on the situation as it stands:
. In contrast to Western migrants, non-Western migrants are a net fiscal negative.
. Around one in three Australians are foreign born as are 45% of residents in Sydney and Melbourne.
. Sudanese immigrants have the highest imprisonment figures of any immigrant group, with rates around three times the national average. The number of foreign-born Australians with no or poor English proficiency is over 800,000. Around three-quarters of recent migrants are low-skilled.
. Africa and the Middle Eastern immigrants have unemployment rates 3 times higher than those born from North-West Europe and the Americas. Migrants from non-English speaking countries have higher crime rates than those from the UK or the Americas. Migrant and refugee women have poorer health outcomes than the native-born and are much less likely to be employed.
. So much for the “we’re the most successful multicultural nation in the world” mantra.
. Australia needs to embrace reality again and to acknowledge that there are meaningful differences between groups and their capacity to successfully integrate and contribute to our society.
. Indiscriminate immigration is dissolving Western societies.
. Australian experiments with mass immigration have not improved the country - just the opposite.
