SR,

Caught you out again. This took me 20 seconds with google. Next time please do your own research.

Foxy,

The definition of immigrant is not motivation dependant.

Boat people are immigrants, people that come by plane on 457 visas and apply for permanent residence are immigrants etc.

Simple logic.

Cows are mammals, dogs are mammals. Being a mammal does not mean that one is a cow or dog, and being a cow or dog does not exclude one from being a mammal

Suse,

Pure Anglo? Define?

Pure Anglo? Define?
is Mise,
She didn't say pure, you made that up. She left out the pure so she can still claim pride in being a Leftie :-)

Dear Shadow Minister,

I shall try to keep it simple.

A refugee is a person who is unable to return to
their country of origin because of a well-founded
fear of persecution on racial, religious, ethnic or
political grounds. Australia uses this definition of
"refugee" to determine the legitimacy of claims for
refugee-status in Australia.

If a person is found to be a refugee - Australia has an
obligation to offer support and ensure the person is
not sent back to the country of origin against his/her
will.

An asylum seeker is a person who applies for protection and
is awaiting a determination on his/her status as a
refugee.

Whereas refugees are people who have already been determined
as meeting the criteria for refugee status. Asylum seekers are
people whose status is in the process of being determined.

Migrants on the other hand choose to leave their country to
seek a better life. They choose where they migrate to and
can usually return whenever they like. They have time to
prepare for their trip and their new life.

By contrast, asylum seekers are forced to leave their country,
often without warning and preparation and cannot return.
The concerns of asylum seekers are human rights and safety,
not economic advantage.

I trust that this clarifies things for you.

Is Mise, what do YOU mean by 'pure' Anglo?

I have all Anglo-Saxon (English) ancestors, how about you?
I know this because I have done extensive research on my ancestry because I enjoy genealogy.

Cheers,
Suse.

Suse,

By pure Anglo I mean not crossed with any other groups such as North Africans, Egyptians, Nubians, Celts, Goths etc.
I too have done extensive genealogical research and as a consequence realize what a mongrel mix my ancestors were.
