Yes Borders and countries are just lines on a map...BUT..

In the Original days, those imaginary borders were PROTECTED by the natives Or the people who originally lived there, they fought for their homeland.

If Africa skinnys go to another country and cause trouble, they are therefore Invading those countries, and deserve to be repelled and crushed.

Refugees should be assimilated in their own regional areas, NOT sent to peaceful open countries, totally foreign to them.

Africans should be resettled in Africa, there are more riches in Africa than many parts of the rest of the World.

Let them build Africa to greatness.

If they didnt hate each other, they may get somewhere, but let them keep their hate in Africa, dont spread it to peaceful countries. Same applies to the Middle East, India etc etc.

I have been reading thrpough this thread and read a lot about what happened here in Australia 200 years ago,well what about the Americans history just as bad eh 1%

If You Were Born There - Stay There

Immigration these days is all about Poor, War Torn, Bloodthirsty Religious Fanatics moving to Western Countries. These people are a drain on Welfare with their Unrestricted Breeding and lack of Education.

Why should we foot the Bill for this?

"Unrestricted Breeding" is not the drain on welfare. admittedly lack of education (not their fault really) can be, but generally that is an issue that can be fixed. the main reason for the "welfare drain" is that the government tends to pass it out freely to immigrants, while at the same time ignoring the people who were born there. again not really an immigrant's fault, that is the fault of the government.

Many times they do not even bother to learn English, or the Socially accepted practices of the Nation that has adopted them.

you DO have a point there. many (by no means all) do seem to shun learning the language of their adoptive countries (note it is not always English). this makes it rather difficult for both them and people they have to deal with problematic at times. i say that after years of having to do things like try to have a 7 year old try to translate very important information to people, then have those people who can not speak the language freak out because i could not speak theirs. i had even been told i had no business working where i did because i did not speak THEIR language. then there is the fact that the government spends a pile of money by having FREE translators for these people. if a person does not speak the language that is their problem, if translation is needed that is their issue to deal with.

an immigrant should also respect the social practices of their adoptive nation. i'm not talking religion or anything. but things like respect for women especially, (not do things like try to get money back because i should KNOW that a WOMAN is NOT CAPABLE of making that type of DECISION) as well as things like free speech. or telling us we should not eat/sell pork as they don't like it. they also should not try changing the laws of their adoptive country to conform to the laws where they came from. they CHOSE to come, they CHOSE where they came. if they want to live by laws similar to where they are from they should have CHOSEN a place with similar laws.

Call me a Racist if that makes you feel better, but it is a fact. Who is immigrating to Somalia, who is immigrating to the Philippinnes, who is immigrating to Haiti?

um IT IS NOT A FACT "who is immigrating to Somalia, who is immigrating to the Philippines, who is immigrating to Haiti". personally i don't know anyone immigrating to Somalia or Haiti, but i'm sure it does happen. as for the Philippines i DO KNOW FOR A FACT that people DO IMMIGRATE to here from all over ESPECIALLY from the US, Canada and Europe. so i will call you out on that error. and it is not just people who have Philippines ancestry either. i see many white, black, Chinese, Korean, Japanese etc people and hear several different languages at the immigration office, as well as out and about the country. admittedly there are not the numbers i see back home, but it does occur.

i guess technically i can be considered an immigrant right now. but at least the COUNTRY i am in does not pander to immigrants quite like back home. i AM NOT handed WELFARE just for showing up for example, i am expected to SUPPORT MYSELF. something i wish was the same back home. i am EMBARRASSED that i can't speak the native language (i am leaning slowly tho), but i am lucky that my native language just happens to be the business language. and ANY translation i need is upon myself to supply, if i don't have someone to translate for me that is my problem in a day to day situation. if i can't understand a shop keeper for example i don't "freak out demanding that THEY should SPEAK MY LANGUAGE", i just can't buy something, unless i can get someone to translate for me. i also don't berate people for eating a dog (ok if it was MY dog there would be an issue ), as that is MY CULTURAL ISSUE to deal with. i don't expect them to change that part of their culture just because the culture i am from finds it unacceptable.

First thing first, societies don't actually own the land in which they are settled in, no matter how much they like to pretend they do (and how much everyone else plays along). Australia belongs as much to so called Australians as to Americans, Brazilians or whatever. Its all just part of the illusion we all have been sucked in since, I guess, the dawn of mankind, and something we must learn how to look past of.

Now, societies do have the power to restrict new people from joining them, but given how large and diverse modern societies are, it just wouldn't make much sense to do so and it certainly wouldn't make much of a difference anyway.
