That's not my problem. Again, they should've thought about getting ahead of the problem instead of holding onto Apartheid long after it became obvious that it was untenable.
Not my problem. And it's not my place to tell the Aussies whom to admit.
Nope. No way.
Nope again. Don't want them out here.
Gotta send all the imprisoned whites and "hoodrat" whites too. And there are many millions of them. You oughta know living up in Methhead er...I mean Bullhead City.
I'm not concerned about you care about. You made a point and I countered it. Do you have anything to further your stance?
Sorry do these (white, wealthy, free) folks think they should take priority over those who are genuine refugees?
If so, why?
After decades of profiting off Apartheid, now you're paying the price. It was always going to happen. I grew up in NZ and clearly remember riots and protests when the Springbocks wanted to tour. We are a socialist democracy, SA is not.
You cant suppress an entire race then turn around and expect sympathy and shelter from another country that is working really hard to deal with and improve its own race relations. What would Aboriginal Australians think if the White Government let the white SA's in wholesale? By the way I know some SA immigrants so they have been allowed in the past so I don't know where the "racist" label is coming from.
They don't fit in very well either, and usually go back or to NZ.
They are far more closely aligned personality wise to your average redneck Texan (sorry guys) than to the big box of melty chocolates that is Australia.
Also we have let in - Germans, Jews, Somalians, Ethiopians, Dutch, Hungarian, Croatian, American, Macedonian, Turkish, Saudi, Gypsies, New Zealanders English Samoans Fijians Norwegians Chinese Vietnamese Cambodian Bosnian Kurd Maltese need I go on?

If these people are wealthy, they won't have problems immigrating to America or Australia. Their is always the investment visa to immigrate to America and Australia. Just start a business, create a few jobs and you are in.
these people may meet UN criteria, but we also need to check the criteria for the countries in question, as well as the type of application they filed. but now suddenly australia, canada, and the US have to take these people? and others? when does it stop? in reality we can only take so many per year which is why countries have restrictions on immigration in the first place.
But these people would be a positive addition to the U.S. Unlike refugees from the Third World which often don't speak the language, have no education or skills, and end up on subsidies.
lol, they are rejecting refugees from a lot of places. I'm not sure if they've implemented it yet, but they had a plan to ship refugees to Papua New Guinea. Things have to be pretty damn bad wherever you are from to not mind ending up in Papua New Guinea.

No, these are people arriving by boat, from Indonesia, not refugees that have been already granted asylum through the correct channels.

They'd be a positive addition based on what? You don't know these people. What is that assumption based on?
I'd need to know what they did during Apartheid before i'd even dream of letting them apply to come here. And i'm not inclined to believe any of them.
lol, they aren't allowing refugees from just about everywhere. I'm not sure if they've implemented it yet, but they had a plan to ship any arriving refugees to Papua New Guinea.
The PNG solution is in place, and it has pretty well stopped leaky boats showing up from Indonesia.
Australia does however have an annual intake of 20,000 refugees as part of it's annual migration program, most of them are resettled directly from official UN refugee camps in the middle east and Africa.
