Not many people realize how xenophobic Australia is. So strong is their fear of Asian immigrants making the white majority a minority (or just smaller majority) that they have actually begun putting illegal Asian immigrants into concentration camps, or Detention centers as they are calling them.
These people are apparently held against their will, for an indefinite period of time, can be prosecuted for attempted escape, and even face time in another jail. On top of this they are apparently fined by the day for their troubles, as well.
BULLSHIT!!!
I can't believe the absolute crap that people have festering in their tiny brains.
These 'refugees' are actually CRIMINALS. If they were real refugees, they would be granted refugee status, and not be in the detention centre. We actually welcome REAL refugees. These criminals snuck into our country ILLEGALLY.
Australian 'concentration camps', huh? Ignore the fact that these CRIMINALS are getting fed, have shelter, and access to basic medicine. Refugees can bitch all they want. If they are true refugees, you would think that they would be grateful, since the detention centres should be much safer than the country they were 'fleeing' from.
What a load of crap. Australia is xenophobic. Have you tried going to Melbourne (or any other large city)? Maybe you will notice all of the Asians which came here LEGALLY, and are welcome here. Listen buddy, why don't you actually visit Australia before spinning crap? You know nothing. We are a multicultural society.
My own mother is an immigrant. She done things the right way. She waited for her visa, and came here legally. She is a citizen. Anyone who is prepared to come to our country LEGALLY and become a citizen is welcome here.
Being an American I can hardly understand such treatment of illegal aliens,
Being an Australian, I don't know how an American can critisize Australia. You have victimized the blacks, indians, and bombed countries just because they 'might have WOMD'. A classic example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Being an Australian, I don't know how American's can comment, since they don't know SHIT about the issue.
Before you can comment on Australia, maybe you should do a little research. We have quite an open immigration policy. Don't attack Australia with baseless claims.
but we don't want the poor people to die out in the desert!
You are so naive. Not every person who comes to this country is a true refugee. Therefore, they are criminals. They come here so that they can have an 'easier' life. Should I sneak into America because computers cost less over there?
Australia is not an overcrowded nation, I don't really see the big deal.
See. Some American's don't know shit. The middle of Australia is desert. And if we let every Joe in, this place would become overcrowded.
aussies get defensive and seem to be in denial of all things racial in their society. americans are not. we delight in exposing the inequities in our society. you do not.
Bullshit.
aussies get defensive (spookz)
see! i told you so! i knew it!
We are not defensive. We are legitimately angry. When you go and attack Australia with a bunch of lies, dramatization, and plain bullshit, we get angry. I'm sorry that I like to defend my country when it is attacked by self-righteous know-nothings.
Well, jeez, I'm sooo sorry I don't like people just walking into this country as if they own the place. I'm soo sorry that I'm angry I have to pay tax for people who came here ILLEGALLY, and are not citizens. Who don't want to be Australian, but just want to be parasites and drain Australia dry.
They are criminals. They came to Australia seeking an easier life. They came here illegally. It is THEIR fault that they are stuck in 'concentration camps'. Maybe if they didn't try and take advantage of Australia's great legal system (which they don't deserve, since they aren't citizens), then they would reach a conclusion quicker. Instead, they stay in Australia for years, dragging their case through loads of legal shit.
Let's have a little logic here, people. If I wanted to talk to someone of chinese descent, where would I go? China. What about African descent? Africa. What about American descent? America. What about Australian descent? Australia.
Sadly, this simple logic is being violated when all the rabble from every corner of the Earth invades Australia.
I want to have some real Australians in Australia. If we let everyone in here, Australia will have to change its name to New AmericoAsioAfricoAnistan.
You think what we do is wrong? Fine. Maybe we should send all of these 'poor refugees' to America. See how you like it.
And before, someone was saying that we shouldn't critize America, while you are allowed to critize Australia. How typical. I would expect no less from a country who thinks it has the right to bomb innocents, yet when they receive the same treatment, say what a 'crime' it is. Some Americans should really look in the mirror before pointing the finger. Because the pot and the kettle are both black.
