"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Editing ones comments now Frank? Is that the best you can do after dedicating a lifetime to academia?

What's it feel like knowing you're a failure?

Totally different situation in every way ... America was seeking the equivalent of convict transportees to be cannon fodder in the construction of the nation and to stand in front of the Indians whose land they would steal ... the refugees were mainly European and thus shared a relatively common heritage and social bonds, not least of which was fairly common law......

Now, here it's just open slather to bring in hordes from relatively lawless countries.... while living with Major Smith's daughter many years ago, I asked her why these people seemed so criminal (I'm naive, you see) - she said they came from lawless countries.

You can't really argue that Arab countries are law-abiding despite their brutal religious laws designed to prop up the ruling elite... in essence those very 'states' they 'create' are outside the reservation of international law standards, and thus they create essentially chaos where petty disputes just go on and on and are mostly settled by the individual or group involved rather than the state.

Iraq was a perfect example of an 'advanced' Arab nation.... nobody went near the police because they risked arrest and persecution even for 'reporting a crime' - so they settled those themselves... for right or wrong...

Then there is the well-trodden path of 'getting an enemy' by reporting them to the religious police - much as we have here from the 'woke' - and having them dreadfully punished for crazy 'crimes' like 'blasphemy' or 'rooting without a licence' (so accused) - or here for being 'non-inclusive' or 'bigoted'...  where the standard of 'proof' is 'guilty by accusation' - same as morons demand be set in place here.

Thank Deity the people are finally on the march after their government sought to impose a 'voice' on them, and they learned they could say NO!

Get with it, people....

That verse on the plinth of the Statue of Liberty is NOT US law.


"The poem is used to invert precisely the meaning of the statue. The actual sculpture is called "Liberty Enlightening The World" and shows her holding a tablet marked "1776." In other words, it's not about importing people but about exporting American ideas. And, if you did that effectively, you wouldn't need to import huddled masses — or, at any rate, not on such a scale. Emma Lazarus has been used to subvert the Statue of Liberty.

We cannot fix failed states by inviting millions of their people to move in with us. All that ensures is more failed states, more failure, and eventually, one by one, the nations of the west will join them. And then you'll really be yearning to breathe free and there will be nowhere to do it."

In Chermany the movement has begun to ship out the undesirables before they can cause more trouble than they already have..... and it's not chust Chermany .... but they are leading the way with a Party that actually actively pursues the concept... no room in Europe for a Mussorassic Park or anything... so it looks like back to the Shattered Lands next to green Israel for most of them ....

To the Hon Andrew Giles MP

Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs

Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600

Dear Minister,

Last year, Australia took in 737,000 migrants. In net terms, we added 525,000 new migrants to our population in just 12 months.

This is the largest intake Australia has ever seen, and is one of the largest per capita migrant intakes in the world. Our population grew by 2.4 per cent, and 1 in 36 people in Australia today arrived last year.

These are astronomical numbers, yet nobody asked for them. 70 per cent of Australians want lower migration, including a majority of Labor voters. You ignored every single one of them.

The effects of this policy – combined with decades of large migrant intake numbers – are now being felt everywhere across Australia. Speaking for my friends, family members and colleagues: our wages are flat, our rents have gone up, our dreams of buying homes and raising a family are becoming more distant.

The data backs this up: wages are at 2009 levels, rents are up 20 per cent, house prices have grown 40-50 per cent in 10 years, and birthrates have fallen.

But we’re still the lucky ones. Others have been completely pushed out of the market. Homelessness has gone up 50 per cent in one year. Tents now fill up parks and crowd under bridges. Thanks to you, your party, and a succession of other governments, the lucky country is now the country of the working poor. We once had the highest living standards in the world.

Your party committed to solving the cost of living crisis, yet it worsened it. Immigration is putting upward pressure on housing, and in turn, worsening the cost of living. More inflation means more rate rises. Immigration isn’t good for the economy, it’s making us poorer.

You have since committed to lowering the immigration intake. But that will only happen after the election. Who can trust you? Your party leader himself said that Australia ‘can’t rely on overseas workers’ – he then lifted migration to record highs. The damage is done, the lucky country is now lucky enough if they have a roof over their head. You’ve broken your duty to Australians, you’ve disgraced a once proud party.

The only people who have ever asked for more migrants have been big business and the radical left. Yours was once the party of the working class. The people who built Australia. Now it’s the party for the people flying first class.

I urge you, for the sake of struggling Australians, to let housing supply catch up, to give infrastructure a breather, to give workers a much-needed pay rise, to let young people buy a home and start a family.

Pause immigration. Now.
