Interesting of course that the opium trade only jumped to its now normal heights after the war began, and the refugees we receive who happen to be Afghanis are not coming from Afghanistan direct to Malaysia.  But of course, let's ignore this and instead just concentrate on some ill thought up bubble and mark that as fact. Seems you aren't very good at truth after all.

This of course leaves us back to the original generalisation that because people in that region earn such a small income compared to the boat fees it must be that they are all pirates, prostitutes and small time drug traffickers.

Could I trouble you to provide one bit of evidence to back up this claim?

2007 August - Opium production has soared to a record high, the UN reports.

After the Taliban were driven out of power in 2001, opium made an astonishing comeback in the impoverished Afghan countryside. By 2006, twenty-one of Afghanistan's thirty-four provinces were producing 94 percent of the world's supply--estimated at a pre-export value of $4 billion and equivalent to nearly 50 percent of the country's GDP.

Ever wondered where the illegal boat immigrants get the money from to get here?

When the boat people arrive here, they have already printed out from the net their rights and have a list of welfare benefits that they demand from the Australian Government.

After spending around 6-9 months in detention, the illegal boat people have approximately $10000 saved in welfare payments from the Australian Government.

They then send the money home and arrange for the next family member to come out on a boat.

So this means we are actually paying for the flood of illegal boat people through the welfare payments provided to them.

Now that everyone agrees that we, the Australian taxpayers, are paying to bring refugees to Australia there is a rather alarming lesson for Australia to be learned from Greece.

With an official population of just 11 million, half that of Australia, Greece now hosts a staggering 1 million illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

About 6,879 people landed there last year, but Greece is now trying to cope with 128,000 appearing over the horizon.

As Greece slides towards the abyss of political and economic chaos, the country's enormous undocumented immigrant community is being blamed for adding to its woes.

Illegal immigrants who have swamped Greece's borders are accused of exacerbating the financial crisis that now threatens to infect other eurozone nations.

The annual cost of sustaining this immigrant population - in terms of healthcare, crime and impact on legitimate businesses - is estimated at 6 billion euros, says the president of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, Constantine Michalos.

If one ponders the comparison between Greece and Australia, an alarming picture emerges which presages dire consequences for Australia.

One imagines that some time ago the number of refugees entering Greece was probably something like the alarming number entering Australia now but the lackadaisical Grecian Government probably compared the number of refugees entering Greece with the number of refugees entering some other other country and decided Greece had nothing to worry about.

The chaotic state Greece is in now is partly as a result of their gross negligence and indolence in not taking the necessary and decisive action needed to control the number of unwanted refugees trying to enter the Grecian land of milk and honey.

The disastrous situation Greece now finds itself in, as a direct result of its negligence in not taking action to control the number of unwanted refugees entering its borders by stealth, is a STARK WARNING for AUSTRALIA whose grossly incompetent government has now opened the flood gates to any and all refugees.

So if we want to know what Australia will be like after a while then we need only look to Greece to see our future unless we get rid of the current laughable Labor government which is an insult to all Australians.

There is a rumor that, when the Americans move into Darwin, they will assist in encouraging the flood of refugees to look somewhere else. There is also the rumor that the Americans are moving into Darwin  because there is an increasing fear that Australia will be invaded from the north to seize our food and mineral resources.
