Well what an insulting post. Is your attitude typical of the left ?
It seems to me that as a "leftie" you are worse than any "rightist" around here.

p1405: Pleasingly most of the children of those early Vietnamese refugees have assimilated well into Australian society, as did the children of Greeks and Italians etc before them. Hopefully, and there are some encouraging signs, the children of today's immigrants will assimilate just as well, given time.

One has to remember these mostly Catholic or Greek Orthodox Refugees & Immigrants. They were welcomed by the majority of Australians. Very few had any problems. I should know I grew up & went to school a lot of them. Italian, Greek, Polish, Yugoslavs & German Kids, apart from some languages difficulties I never saw any bullying. North Queensland assimilated thousands into the Cane fields & Mines.

Unfortunately this last lot of Refugees are Islamic & they will never assimilate, or never even try to assimilate into Australia's Western Culture. Our Culture is totally abhorrent to them. "They" make that "very" clear. As they have done in Britain & Europe.

Therefore It was a grave mistake to admit them to Australia in the first place. We didn't have we didn't have a Security Problem when the Southern Europeans or the Vietnamese arrived. We do now. That has now all changed with the arrival of Islamic Peoples.

To solve the problem Australia has to stop the importation of Islamic people & remove as many as is possible. Which shouldn't be hard seeing their penchant for violence if they are not given what they demand according to the Koran.

I fail to see why Australia is stopping those who wish to join ISIS from leaving, never to return.

Actually Jayb you are not quite right about the Italians assimilating
smoothly. They brought with them the Mafia of Southern Italy and they
are still active here.
Everyone remembers the Mackay affair in Griffith.
There was a documentary just recently on the ABC about their operation
in Australia.

Well actually most of them assimilated well. The Northern Italians & the Sicilians were at logger heads with one another. other than that they were never a threat to Australians.

I was nearly killed when I was about 16. We always took the short cut through the lane beside the Commercial Hotel. It was part of the Hotel. the Trucks parked behind the Hotel & you walked down the stairs to the Laneway. As I reached the bottom of the stairs there was an almighty Bang & a Truck motor landed about 5 feet from me. Someone had tried to kill the owner but had put the Gelly in the wrong piston. the motor went forward instead of back, when he started the truck. He only got a few scratches. I excreted myself.(Got told ;-) ) They did the same with a Farmers Tractor in Mareeba, only the got him.

We had some Maltese & Dutch too. I remember, at School, the only kids we had trouble with were the Twin Dutch Kids. They wanted to fight everybody. We only had a few Sicilians in Ayr. They were mostly on the Atherton Tablelands.

You are right there Bazz.

It should be stated right from the start that Italian migrants themselves were opposed to migration applications from some regions that were notorious for organised crime and other noxious traditions, examples being honor killing, kidnap marriage and vendettas.

Corruption at the highest levels is so often behind so-called lapses in immigration policy and checking. That can be to boost votes in marginal seats or to assist criminal gangs, usually involved in the highly profitable drug industry.

Some have damned good personal reasons for mythologising immigration as always good, a sacred cow that can never be subjected to independent examination.

Well otb, I'll bet those Italians that opposed the mafia groups were
told that was racial and we do NOT have that here !
Incidentally were the southern Italians a left over from the moslem invasions ?
That would be interesting to know.
Do they have a custom of marrying their cousins ?

Oh well, is it true that Bankstown is to be renamed Baghdad ?
