I agree with Hasbeen
Those millions of young fit African men that forced their way into Germany,
were an invading army.
Water Hoses couldn't stop them, they broke through fences ,they refused
to identify themselves and are still roaming around in Europe, and nobody knows who they are or where they are.

Oh, if only the Germans and Japanese could have known to arrive without weapons and just push their way into countries around the world who felt unable to treat them as the invading armies they were and do the only thing that would stop them marching in.
Shoot them. Shoot the forerunners if that's the only way to stop them.

And why aren't these fit young men sailing around Africa and getting off these boats in peaceful areas of Africa.
They should be towed back to peaceful parts of Africa.
Overpopulation has consequences and it's time some of these stupid males had to wear the consequences of their overpopulating. We are only letting them escape from consequences of their own making.

They leave their mothers and sisters behind to die. The people helping them to come ashore said they pushed women and children aside to push through.
Europe and the West need to pull out of the destructive United Nations and take a military stand. Saying you made this 7 billion people on earth problem.
You deal with it. Western countries have taken in enough.
We have our own future generations to think of. It's an insult to our soldiers,fathers and sons who died protecting this country for future generations.

Oh Cherful!

Just a few years ago Australia's policy was populate or perish.
What has changed? Is it the skin colour?

Not that I agree with illegal entry for genuine refugees or opportunists pushing in to grab the good life in somebody else's country.

Turning the boats back is what illegals should expect and regular media advertising in the embarkation countries should get the massage well and truly out.

I think any genuine refugee would be allowed entry.

The opportunists in so called detention have had an open door and freedom to return home but many stay trying to stare us down to allow them entry.
Aus lefty media does not report that tricky cunning bluff.

Hi Paul,

If more refugees apply each year to come to Australia than the quota, then there's a queue. It's a version of the Micawber Rule.

Do you really think that, out of sixty five million and counting, and given our refugee intake of fourteen thousand or so, there might be just fourteen thousand applicants each year, every year ? Out of 65,000,000 ?

Close to a million Rohingya have now fled cto Bangla Desh in the past six years. How many Rohingya might want to come to Australia after this fascist ethnic cleansing in Burma ? How many will do the right thing, utterly skint as they may be and unable to pay smugglers, but filling out all the right forms, and then sitting on some swampy island, waiting their turn ?

So when you assert that there isn't a queue, you may need to explain what you actually mean.

Steele,

So ........ you were working with a migrant, but you want to cut migration, and double the refugee intake. So ...... the people with the crucial skills that we need will be replaced by poor buggers who don't have them.

They're not interchangeable, you know :)

Joe

Why would anyone assume that all genuine refugees
are unskilled?

The common denominator is their fleeing persecution -
not their lack of skills.

Take the case of Al Munjed Muderis who fled Iran and
came to Australia by boat. His case is just one example.

Dearest Foxy,

Nobody is saying 'all'.

65,000,000 and counting. So, dear, how many each year ? What's your suggestion ?

Love forever,

Joe

It would have indeed been Australia's loss if this man would
not have made it to our shores and been allowed to
stay. He is now not only making remarkable contributions
in his chosen field of medicine but he is also training
others in his chosen field.
