It breaks down like this:
Annualy a hundred or two people trying to escape the war/persecution/famine etc in ntheir country of origin, that are desperate enough to try and cross the globe in a dodgy, leaky unsafe boat after paying their life savings (about the same as you probably spent last time you had a few beers in a bar) to equally dodgy transporters - just to try to live a life somewhat closer to the one we regularly take for granted. For a vast nation with only 20 odd million inhabitants this should not really be a problem.. unless there is xenophobia, intolerance or straight out racism at play?



Conversley there are around 50,000 visa stayers (mainly from 'nice white' UK & US backgrounds) illegally overstaying their visas indefinately per year. These characters generally work under false ID - don't pay taxes and whatnot - thereby leaching off our system like a 50,000 strong parasite.


150 or so Vs 50,000 or so.. so which should we be worried about?
Now although I am reluctant tos ingle out one minority there has been some correlation between violence and SOME Somalian immigrants etc, however the numbers are still low and the way these stories are fed to the ignorant masses out there are out of whack compared to how many 'dinky-di' moron aussies get a skinful of suds and start swinging at the nearest happy camper every weekend.
Believe what you want to believe, it worked for the Nazis and the same fomula of fear, envy, and racism will work (as it has in the US - and Oz over the past decade) until we are gone and the cochroaches reign supreme.
