I've got a crazy immigration scheme for you.

How about we treat the incredibly small number of asylum seekers (they account for less than 1% of immigration) that arrive by boat with respect and dignity. Their boat looks un-sea worthy? Once they're in Australian waters lets send one of ours out to pick them up. When they arrive, let them live in the community while we process their claims and not an immigration centre. Let's welcome them into the community and give them every opportunity to succeed, we might not get a 100% strike rate from the first generation but at least the second and third generation won't grow up resenting us for being d1cks to their parents. How can we expect them to want to become 'Australians' when half of us come across like total f*ckwits?

Treating these people better wouldn't even cost us anymore than the current system and benefits everyone in the long run. I hate preachy Libertarians as much as the next guy (the only thing worse than a plastic socialist in a Che t-shirt is a bogan with a 'F*ck-Off We're Full' sticker) but this sh1t is just common human decency. If you treat people with disdain how can you expect anything else in return?

I won't call anyone on here a rascist (after all your mate is proper Indian and stuff) but you sure do sound like a ****!

Actually, it'd cost a whole lot LESS. Even if we gave them a place to stay and the dole while their claim was being processed, no questions asked, it'd STILL cost a bundle less than what it costs now.

Imagine how much less it'd cost if they were allowed to get a job and PAY TAXES!

I'm sure ten fools will now tell me why that's a stupid idea...

so people are fools cause they might disagree with you...farkwit

Loggy , I have have no resentment , it would not be a punishment , but a six year apprenticeship , not slavery as you suggest.
At this point we have no plan to do anything ,Other than try and find the body's in the sea.

So the only way we can stop people drowning in bad boats is to implement a forced labour scheme... You said," We will feed you, and not kill you". That sounds like a forced labour camp to me. I spose to stop these people from drowning at sea we could send that ship, as you suggested to a port ,as you suggested pick them up, bring them to Australia, process them, deport the ones who are not desireable and keep the rest. There then, that would stop the drownings at sea that you seem sssoooooo concerned about. So why the labour camp , why the "you will work on this project" . Why the "we will not kill you" crap. Why the need to turn us into concentration camp guards. Why the attitude to these people. My guess is fear of people coming to Australia by boat, Fear of Asians, Fear of Brown people, Fear of Muslims, Fear of being invaded. Fear. **** fear!

Why the labour camps? well... we need a lot of stuff built here, and it seems the unions have got the country buy the short and curlys . All major infrastructure projects are costing us way to much in dollar terms because wages are too high . Take the vic desalination project for an example, 3rd year Apprentices taking over $100,000 PA
Just crazy. That project has doubled in cost and its still not complete was to be 4 bil will end up about 8 billion! Every plumber in vic is a fing millionaire for Christ sake.

Ok so i may have been a bit out of line with the phrase " we will not kill you" we probably will kill who ever comes here buy paying them too much , and watching them buy a Malloo ute and wrap themselves around a gum tree.

We are not frightened of migrants we need them here to help build stuff ,because we a too ffing lazy to do it ourselves.

We just need a GUbenment that has got the guts to actually make a ffing decision on this and get these newcomers working instead of sitting around sewing their lips together, in frustration.

Population explosion is a whole other issue (if that's what you're getting at) with its own concerns but I can't see refugees ever being a major cause of it in Australia. Our natural isolation will always keep the number of refugees arriving 'illegally' pretty low. Personally, I think Australia is better placed than just about any other country in the world to take in refugees at the moment.

Do you genuinely believe anyone is jumping on a busted ass boat to come over here and free load?

Can you show me where my numbers are wrong? If not then calling me names doesn't make you any less a fool. Numbers are numbers. They don't change regardless of our relative opinions.
