So what's the problem with immigration?

If someone wants to come and live in your country, shouldn't you be flattered, and thank them for the compliment thanks hug, rather than treat them with hostility?

If you were to ask me as a capitalist I would say that the country doesn't need more poor people.

If you were to ask me as a socialist I would say it's robbing the world blind. Draining the brain and talent of the outside world to prop up our own lazy and disgusting habits.
I'm used to being part of the minority. dunno
i'm bored. moving on. share it on twitter
Come back soon.. wave
@OP well clearly one of the problems with immigration is when the tide turns and it is negative. Locked borders and exiting students, rejected Pacific Islander seasonal workers = rotting fruit in a peak harvest season. Australian immigration/refugee policy, has been reprehensible, nothing to be proud of in the least. I won't argue it either way, but one of the Australian by-words has always been 'a fair-go' and it has not been seen here for at least 20 years.
As a socialist I would say global mass immigration is taking "on your bike" to extremes. To dispose of one man and simply replace him with any other man like you were changing currency. How could we ever know what sustainable is when everyone and everything is disposable? Problem for immigration is although we can move from poor country to rich country we can't all move to a new world once the old world has been consumed into a dust bowl
Just on a tangent. Let's just forget about the wheel, reading and writing, law and order.

Obviousely the Ozzies are a "law" onto themselves but I'll always be thankful to Britain and America.

Kiwis aren't dumb
What arises is an ocean of mercenary and barbaric homelessness with a few renaissance men hovering ineffectually over the top. Citizen of the world? You must be joking. Take humanity, throw it in a bag, and heaven knows what will come out of it.
A mixed bag of humanity? dunno
Should have said.......'not myself'

There you have it
Just going out on a limb

I'm curious, BoDangly, is this language you speak what passes for "street talk" in NZ, or is it something you've cobbled together yourself? confused
