You could have used the same arguments with equal validity for earlier immigration.<br /><br />For instance my grandmother brought a lot of her Italian culture to Australia when she migrated in the 1950's (including believe it or not a respect for Mussolini!), but I've got no doubt the benefits she and her descendents have brought to this corner of the world far exceed any downside - and it didn't result in any movement towards Italian style fascism as far as I know. Walk down Lygon St in Melbourne and then try to tell me the Italian culture they brought is a problem.<br /><br />The only thing that's fundamentally changed since then is the welfare state. But PC is suggesting a solution to this problem, so why is no-one adressing that rather than re-stating their prejudice?MarkThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199883270652041621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-11487846141470285992013-02-13T06:09:48.905+13:002013-02-13T06:09:48.905+13:00 If it were up to me there would be no borders and...

He taught himself English (his 3rd Language) by reading the NZ Herald (before it became a tabloid) He absorbed NZ Culture & Sport, he wanted his kids to be Kiwis, he didn’t teach us his native tongue (although his Granddaughter is now learning French- his second language). He has NEVER asked for or received a Government hand-out. Dad is a proud Kiwi, a diehard Black Caps & All Black supporter. His brothers & sisters were also Refugees- they went to Australia in 1960. They don’t want to be Aussies- they still cannot speak more than a few words of English- they have no interest in Australian sport or politics- they still retain all of the ‘home country’ culture & crap. Unfortunately, many ‘refugees are like my Dads brothers & sisters- do we really want this type of refugee? I don’t!!<br /><br />IvanKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-67188653854433487012013-02-12T10:11:34.079+13:002013-02-12T10:11:34.079+13:00I brought my Dutch heritage along.

Nowadays, they want to bring Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia with them. And of course there is a government funded industry to support them in their choices to remain Somalis in NZ etc.<br />JeffWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
