At the cattle sales, you can usually cast your eye over them as they are penned up and it doesnt take long for anyone with a good eye to pick good stock that will enhance your herd from sickly runts who will just weaken your position.

So, a bunch of young fit virile irish backpackers or swedish tourists who want to come by plane and overstay their visa.
great stuff.
Sort of like if a couple of prime angus heiffers turned up in my paddock uninvited.

A bunch of whiney whingey pushy sri lankans with centrelink on speed dial.
No thanks.
That would be like a few old diseased jersey cows with TB and brucellosis breaching my perimeter.
Out with bikes and drive em back through the fence.

see, no one minds migrants. i like rich chinese, i like energetic south africans, i want german engineers and tech guys from seoul.


I just think as the owner of the land, i have the say in how we stock it.

"fine"   "great stuff" 

Your Führer doesn't agree:

"Illegal workers create a number of problems within the Australian community.

"They:

"reduce employment opportunities for those with permission to work in Australia

"place an additional burden on the taxpayer in terms of costs associated with locating and removing illegal workers, uncollected taxes and fraudulently claimed government benefits

"disadvantage employers who employ legal workers because they may not be able to compete with those who employ and under-pay illegal workers

"may be subject to exploitation and organised criminal activity

"may not meet the stringent health and character tests undertaken by holders of a visa with permission to work."

All "fine" and "great" with you, because they formed an orderly queue.

This is turning out to be a most revealing Sunday morning.

To anyone else, I would suggest putting down the shovel and walking away.  However, I'm enjoying seeing you dig this hole so much that I'm not going to say a word.

Please, continue ...

good point. i dont know about the irish backpackers though, we have enough professional drunkards in this country already in  my opinion. And inadvertantly Howards push on immigrants with english language capabilites and education has backfired on us, the largest group on immigrants at the moment are native english speaking Indians with worthless Indian uni degrees but they tick the boxes. inbred, congenitally physically lazy middle caste class Indians are the last people you want flooding into this country but this is what is ocurring currently. so our immigration debate always has to have a racial component to it and we as australians need to get over the cries of racism and accept that race is a big factor.

And we all know which one would get to stay:

That was not the point being made, Soren but I'm not surprised you'd twist it to your own purposes.  Try again.  You might figure it out...eventually.

number of visa overstayers in Australia was around 53,900

Average amount of time a visa overstayer stays in Australia varies from a few days to years.   If they are here for years, they aren't getting caught, now are they?  When they overstay their visa, they do become illegal immigrants.  Yet you and your fellow Xenophobes expend so much energy on a much smaller number of Asylum Seekers who arrive by boat.  I wonder why?

It depends upon many factors but the biggest single one usually mentioned by Asylum seekers is perceptions of safety.  Remember, they are fleeing persecution or had you, in your broad brush attempt to blacken them, forgotten that?
