Immigration today...

[007XX]

I came across this little pearler a couple of days ago, and thought that highlighted a very relevant point (even if written for OZ). I mean, I am an immigrant, but I've never been on the doll, made sure I am doing everything I can to be as integrated into Kiwi society as one can be and not be a burden...So what do you guys think? This is not a thread for open racism, I just want to know if it's just me getting antsy!

Subject: Let's say I break into your house

A woman wrote the best 'Letter to the Editor' in ages!!

She cuts to the chase and explains things better than all the rubbish
you hear on TV.

Her letter said: Recently, large demonstrations have taken place
across the country protesting the fact that parliament is finally
addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that Australia might actually want to protect

its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and,
once here, make it harder (as an illegal immigrant) to stay
indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these
protests.

Let's say I break into your house.

Then, when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But

I say, 'I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and done the
laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like
to do.

I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must
add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide
other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard
work)because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that
breaking-in part.

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends
who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my illegal
right to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer

house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself.

I'm hard-working and honest, um, except for well, you know.

And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only

a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do
about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being an
anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so you

can communicate with me! English is too hard for me to learn. You
should also allow me to vote - in my own language, since I live in
your house!

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?

Only in Australia.

At the risk of sounding like a lefty communist, it may be that the person was chased into the house by a bunch of murderous heathens.

Would you kick them back into the street then?

How was it the london bombings happened again?

Murderous heathens came into my house legally or illegally and blew up my fucken train.


Almost forgot.
Some not-murderous foreigners (who's religion is irrelevant) come knocking on some guys door, the guy gives them one of his rooms. Soon the foreigners multiply and ask for another room, he gives them a room. Things are getting a bit cramped so he starts adding another room to his house. The guy decides to multiply. Now things are getting really cramped and theres no space for his kid to live.
-- meh didn't come out very well, trying to describe the rise in property value.

Is "Murderous Heathen" a race?

I agree with you though - I just tried my commie hat on for a minute....didn't fit too well.

Good on ya,
If more people tried their commie hat maybe the world wouldn't be ruled my capitalist swine.

That argument doesn't work.

Take the UK for example, all the people from the eastern block and the arabs etc... trek right across europe before crossing the channel into the UK. It's been said many many times that places like France and Germany have a higher standard of living than the UK, but the one thing they don't have is a welfare system that's giving handouts to anyone that turns up.

It's not about claiming asylum, it's about economic migration.

the world is for everyone.. only the small minded lock them selves up in 'Houses'

and by the way.. its not YOUR house.. you just happen to reside there.. a caretaker.

I don't know about the UK or Germany, but unfortunately in France there has always been a grave problem of immigration (especially from Algeria) and of poor economic resources to cater for it. Anybody living in Paris would have a very strong opinion on the subject .

It is very much originally from the french gouvernment fucking it up...as always!

i missed the point? maybe you believe you own your 'house' too?

[Dargor]

So you have an issue with people claiming/owning land, correct? its all Gods land or something.

Do you live under a bridge or did you eat shit and buy a house becoming one of us who "own our house's"

The issue isn't about claiming land, all the land has been claimed(private or state), we pay taxes which get used to pay for leach-immigrants houses.

There's nothing wrong with with non-leach immigrants who contribute to society, except when you let a million into a country that cant keep up with demands, like housing.

Look Boomer...I don't know you, you don't know me, so why don't we just agree that maybe, just maybe, we should keep an open mind about the other person't point of view???

I am not looking at starting a huge argument with you, and for whatever its worth, I actually agree with you.. to a point!

What I wanted to know is:

How do people feel about immigrants who blatantly DO NOT try to help themselves and disrespect the existing culture in the country they move into by not learning the native linguo and/or just get on the doll as soon as they are able to....

Well the french can get fucked, they deliberately set up the sangatte camp to give all the illegals a route through france into the uk, there's even been murmerings about the french educating the illegals into how to get into the UK and claim asylum.
