the illegal asylum seeker or the legitimate (albeit not nice) kiwi ??

Let's use the term 'legitimate' loosely and advisedly... Slack Australian laws let in garbage from across the Tasman. There is no system applicable to Kiwis that scrutinises them to anywhere near the same degree as asylum seekers. So long as they can slink in past customs... then here they are... the buggered up and dangerous in with the good ones and Australia is none the wiser till they commit armed robberies, murders, violent assaults etc... If an asylum seeker so much as stole a biro from Immigration officials, it'd be splashed across the front pages of the Slush Post... grist for the mindless hogs to go apeshit over. My bet would be that the chances of receiving high risk immigrants is hundreds of times greater coming from NZ than asylum seekers from anywhere else in the world.

To be fair to the NZers, who would we use as bouncers in night clubs without them? Aussies are far to smart to keep turning up night after night to get their heads smashed in.

Just a nicety. Would you call a Kiwi with a history of violence in NZ someone who should have a legitimate claim to immigrating into Australia without qualification?

And kiwis that have been here a while and drive around with a kiwi flag on their car are on the short list to being given the flick too. I saw a kiwi walking around with a t-shirt on saying "Wairoa, forever". if it is that bloody good, why are you here mate ?

Never. So "legitimate immigrants" would be somewhat of a loose term then... At least in the context of having an immigration "right" that deserves any respect.

The population fear boat people because they're - I have to say it - Asian and poor.

The whole terrorist line highlights this. Why would an organisation like Al Qaida saddle up trained suicide bombers with explosive jackets and put them onto leaky boats to eventually - if they're lucky - end up in a detention centre in Australia?

Breathe easy - not only Australians have an aversion, as you imply, to poor Asians, especially Mohamedans. They are also Al Qaida's preferred target, apparently.

As Comical Abu never tires to ask: What would you do if somebody invaded Australia? Wouldn't you start killing your fellow Australians, too? Mohammedans would, judging from their record, starting with other Mohamedans. i
