Immigrants tend to be harder working and tend to create more jobs than they 'consume'.

Up until very recently it was a shortage of labour that was holding up the economy. Immigrants weren't taking jobs away. They were filling jobs that weren't being filled, keeping businesses afloat that otherwise would have gone under.

Slotting thousands upon thousands of migrants in a particular area will simply not lead to the two parties growing to like each other. If anything, if you stick a small number of that particular ethnic make-up in a particular area, chances are the locals will like and accept them more.

DT do you think the government should start telling people where they are allowed to live based on their immigration history?

Perhaps that could be true in some cases Abu - but Australians generally are known for being the hardest workers in the world.

We were. Not any more. Just like we aren't a sporting nation any more. We have an obesity epidemic.

Shipped back home, particularly if they are convicted of a criminal offense. We have enough ratbags who are born here that we have to keep here regardless of how they behave, I think it's sensible to get rid of ratbag immigrants.

Or are you under some delusion still that all Muslims are born overseas, and any woman who wears a hijab can't speak English?

I guess they include 'trolley pushing' and 'taxi driving' as their list of 'skills,' Abu.

Have you had a look at the newly arrived African immigrants lately first-hand? Holy crap. Never have I seen such an unskilled bunch in my life.

 If you knew what I was doing right now, you'd probably laugh at the statement you just made too.

Anyway, I'm far too skilled, well-spoken, polite, intelligent, well-dressed, well-groomed and not to mention hygienic to worry about immigrants reducing my job opportunities, Abu. Employers would kill for an actual 'Aussie' like me. If anything, I'm sticking up for other Australians out of the goodness of my heart. Because unlike multiculturalism supporters and anti-wacists, I actually 'care' about other Australians.

The only attraction in hiring immigrants over me would be the promise of paying them less rather than hiring an expensive Aussie like myself. Sure, the employers business will suffer as a result of poor communication and efficiency. But overall they can make up for it in the long run by paying their employers less.

This, in turn, affects the living conditions of all Australians (Including perhaps even myself) by reducing the average blue collar Aussies pay to compete with the immigrants.

Like I always say, the only people who want third worlders in this country are those who own businesses and need to save a cheap buck.

Well done DT... aboo showed us all his ignorance via stereotypical bigotry something he continually rails against...  hypocrite that he is.

Saved me looking up the stats etc re just how hardworking Australians actually are. Gotta be right, to make up for the welfare trundled out to certain communities who abuse our good-wil and nature.

I never usually respond to you because you're annoying and you make conversations go in pointless directions, but I just have to ask...

What are you basing all that off? Seems like pretty baseless assumptions to me.
