Migration and integration

The most important thing I know is that one cannot and must not discuss the act of migration without considering the subsequent process of integration. To me, integration means that the newcomers must make every effort to learn the host community’s rules of conduct in the public domain, and obey them. What meals they cook at home, to what gods they pray—that is left to their own private choice. Integration, though personally gratifying and potentially rewarding, is a huge challenge. It touches on deeply held feelings of personal identity and demands the adaptation of normally persistent cultural norms[1].

Insisting on the newcomers adopting the habits and modes of public behaviour of the host community is not racist. Racism is abhorrent, because it amounts to discrimination according to what we have been given by nature, characteristics which we cannot change. By contrast, habits and modes of behaviour come from nurture; they are cultural features, which are learnt and can be relearnt.

Integration is key. But...


Some 10 per cent of migrants are genuine refugees in the definition of the original Geneva Convention, having justified fears for their life and liberty. These people deserve our sympathy and our support. However, many of them, once in a safe place, begin shopping for a more advantageous host country and then become illegal migrants.

The remainder of the newcomers from the South are either illegals or are accepted under orderly, official settlement programs to stay permanently or temporarily. Concepts such as “asylum seeker” and “economic refugee” are poorly defined weasel words, which should be avoided when discussing rational immigration policies.

And what Ethnicity are you?
What is your cultural identity?
Do you feel superior and why?
What does integration have to do with compliance with the law?
And finally, how can one integrate when there is nothing to integrate into?

... but... but... but.... you have to be aware that under affirmative action and the 'need' for people who understand the language and culture - many 'officers' in immigration etc now are themselves ethnic based..... and are thus subject to the same biases and prejudices as their 'fellow countrymen'...

It is not likely, under such a scenario, that there will be much, if any, attempt to work towards what is best for Australia.

When I entered the QANTAS building in El Cidney for my job interview with ASIO - the other guy present was ethnic.... the doorman was SAS.... the interviewer was another sheila who didn't know much at all ..... just a bureaucratic flunkey ....  I can spot those... I was wearing a flannel shirt, no tie, and ordinary trousers and shoes .... just someone they wouldn't pay much attention to.... I guess they missed the point...

Why do I openly discuss such things?  One word - Betrayal!

Considering both Governments want Australians 'off the dole'.
They allow 500,000 a year of 'lame' immigrants to enter and end up on the Dole anyway.

Look at what Biden has given to New York.

True, there are also many self-regulating Anglo Yobbos.
