Why is Australian immigration policy so racist?

European nativist parties have embraced Australia’s hardline tactics for managing asylum seekers and refugees – but their true agenda is to keep Muslims out. By Sasha Polakow-Suransky

Rather than assess the asylum claims of people arriving by boat or rescuing them at sea, the Australian navy intercepts asylum seekers, towing them back or putting them into small sealed pods and sending them off in the direction of Indonesia. Those who reach Australian territory are sent to detention camps on Nauru or Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Both camps are paid for by the Australian government and run by private contractors. The inmates can claim asylum there – but not in Australia – while they remain in miserable conditions of confinement designed to deter others from attempting the same journey. If people seeking asylum are never allowed to reach Australian shores, so the logic goes, they will never have a legitimate claim to refugee status in the country or access to its legal protections and welfare benefits.

20 years ago a friend married an Australian girl.
She had an interesting accent which I mistook as New Jersey.

Anyway even back then he told me to move to Australia you have to have either lots of money or a very valuable profession or they don't want your sorry ass.

It’s because we have a conservative dumb ass government in at the moment. They panda to the Christian and corporations. I agree it is evil what is happening.

It's not, Australia has Islam and more crime and death because of that.

Take a look at Mexico's laws.

Mexico will start deporting people if they are not Mexican and are changing the demographics of the country.


Ted Kennedy said the 1965 immigration act (Invasion act) would not change the demographics of America and American's would not lose jobs,

Kennedy declared:

“First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same…

Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset… Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia…

In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think… The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

Time to repeal.

Migration has increased under a conservative government.

I never said it didn’t. What I said is the way the Australia government treats asylum seekers is evil
