Jodelie,
I am shocked as I have never been referred to in those terms before.
Flattery will get you everywhere! I usually get racist or xenophobic here.

Because our laws are so lenient, I don't think tightening laws will work. We simply need to stop allowing in those who, collectively, have demonstrated they hold our laws and standards in contempt.

We need a more selective immigration system which includes which refugees we accept. We should not burden our community with people that will not integrate.

Maybe one day we will get a government with enough spine to do this.

Many people seem to have forgotten that we have laws in our society and penalties against those who disobey them.
If you do the wrong thing, you are punished.

That should be enough - what else do you want?

Have prospective immigrants fill out a questionaire or make specific promises not to do certain things?

This isn't a matter of putting a fence on top of a cliff instead of parking an ambulance at the bottom.
This is just a masked racist attack hidden behind a phony veneer of social concern.

I've seen the same tired old arguments used about Chinese, Vietnamese, Greeks, Italians, Poles and so on over the years. It's always the same. It's obvious who is being targetted here without them being named.

You only forgot to mention which diseases they may be carrying plus their suspicious continuing allegiances to former countries.

The only relative law that was recently addressed was 18C where we are now free to express bigotry - a great leap forward in any tolerant society.
Hang in there though - you will soon be able to yell your feelings directly at them in the streets.

Steele,
I also asked if you would agree with these laws that are about to be made by the elected government in Iraq. Which incidentally include the right for a husband to demand sex whenever he wishes and the sole guardian of the children from age 2.

Gee, you want us to be multicultural so why would you not advocate that we adjust our standards for an Iraqi migrant/refugee to comply with the laws from his original country. Similarly, if it is part of Afghan culture for blokes to have little boys for sex, why would you deny Afghan refugees their cultural normalacy.

The point is that there are many alien cultural practices but pro MC advocates ignore them in their desire for us to be multicultural and they see it as being the price we have to pay for MC. You are aware that hundreds of underage girls have been sent overseas for marriage but no, you don't mention that.

Rather than expand our ethnic diversity, we need to restrict it to those that respect our culture.

Wobbles,
Are you aware that ALL migrants are given information, in 30 languages, about our society, government and community when they apply for a visa to come here.

As I have said before, most migrants handle the change and adjust to comply with our society. However the are a few groups that cannot or will not because of ingrained cultures or they believe their old cultures come before our ways.

Some groups have been here 3-4 generations and still hold to their original alien ways.

Ethnicity has nothing to do with it. It is cultural pure and simple.

@Wobbles,

<<Many people seem to have forgotten that we have laws in our society and penalties against those who disobey them.

Only in your fairytale books!

In the real world MC (and associated doctrines) distort the law.
Lead it to be applied selectively --leave it open to manipulation.
