In a sense- immigrants dilute (steal/ loot) the birthright of the incumbent locals.

Just hear on the Gaybc that about 4000 Afghans are "stranded" in Indonesia because Australia is too slow to let them come here.
These Afghans re refugees by choice & their aim was/is to come to Australia, not just to flee their regime. They should complain to Indonesia for not letting them settle there !
Being a refugee is one thing but demanding another Nation to simply take them in willy nilly is acceptable either from this side.
Once their numbers here are sufficient to overthrow us will we be able to seek refuge in Afghanistan ? We'd probably make something of Afghanistan because that's what's in our make-up !!

Well said Foxy.

CM, still singing from the same old racists song sheet.

My parents fled the Stalinist terror that
occupied their native land and found themselves in the
United Nation's refugee camps of displaced people after
World War II in Germany. They joined the first wave of
displaced Baltic people who were invited by then Labor
Prime Minister Arthur Calwell to come and settle in
Australia to help solve the acute labour shortage at the
time.

My parents like so many refugees at the
time had to sign 2 year contracts with the
government and had
to go wherever they were sent.
Building roads, cutting sugar cane, working in hospitals, in factories, and so on.
These were difficult times for everybody. Their contribution
to this country are well noted in our history books.

Dear Paul,

History has shown that migrants have contributed to every
aspect of Australian life. Be it to the Australian economy,
music, theatre, The Arts, film, health, education, aged-care,
medicine, transport, science, cutting-edge technology, sport,
The list goes on.

I've written in the past that:

This land began as a dumping ground
Of British crims and the unsound
History has written in our books
Here's where Imperial Britain sent its crooks

No mention was made of our native people
Who some described as primitive and feeble
Who's to blame for this dilemma
The White Man's Law and his Systema?

Frankly though it's not too late
We can make changes and navigate
Righting the past in our Constitution
Correcting the history of total exclusion

Generations of many nations
Are now a part of our population
Equal and free, surrounded by sea
Is the way this brown land should now really be!

Paul1405 said- "CM, still singing from the same old racists song sheet."

Answer- The way I see it Paul1405 is the racist- and singing the same old racist song. My rights don't begin where yours end. In a sense everyone is racist and prejudiced- any culture that doesn't protect it's own interest will die- a culture that commits suicide as the west is doing is worthy of contempt- but the west has done great things in the world.
