You obviously know nothing about Australian politics because one of their biggest recent political issues was that absolutely no boat people will be admitted under any circumstances. They've also virtually eliminated legal immigration unless you have a master's or PhD.

People arriving by boat will not make it to Australia, this was a policy under the previous government, this was implemented after a number of deaths at sea - as a deterrent to scum of the earth people smugglers.

Visas are issued, presuming you fit a certain criteria. Being white is not one.
We take a number of genuine refugees yearly.
{I believe we have the capacity to increase this number, but that is not the argument}

Apply does not equal guaranteed approval. Sorry.

No. that is untrue. I have a bunch of friends originally from Germany who immigrated to Australia recently with only bachelor degrees in IT and engineering.

Absolutely.

Do we want people telling us whom we should allow to move to THIS country?

Bottom line is that they ain't getting into Australia, and that's all that matters. They should have to clean up the mess they made in South Africa.
..And how do they do that? the rule party has flooded South Africa with millions of Africans...and have given them voting rights, funny sounds like the Dems here.

The ratio of blacks to whites has always been at least 5 to 1. Nothing new.

Which is why they were 40 years too late in dumping Apartheid. They should've looked at what happened in Rhodesia and taken preemptive action.

We should be opening our doors to them. They are being persecuted and brutalized far more than most refugees that come into this country. Besides, this group might actually be willing to work and contribute something, other than crime.
