Refugees and immigrants from the third world are clamouring to enter first world nations but is this really such as good idea?
If you ask me, poorly planned, Carte Blanche and non-targeted immigration, including refugee intakes, sucks. It sucks because it does not improve the lot of people in the third world nations of the world and it sucks because it only erodes, even destroys, the lot of people in the first world countries of the world. Immigration should only ever be approved when it can benefit all people and their respective countries. Blindly accepting refugees, many of whom are of suspect refugee status, is wrong. Accepting so-called refugees, just so you can have a warm and fuzzy feeling and pretend that you are a humanitarian, is just plain stupid.
There are lots and lots of people, in the first world, who are unemployed, who are homeless, who are living below the poverty line and who have been ignored and discarded by our self-serving governments. Yet, this policy of accepting refugees and immigrants puts these people before our own people. These are people who have not yet, and in many cases never will, provide any positive input to the country. We should look after our own first. When every citizen that wants to work has a job, when every citizen who wants a home has a roof over their head, when every veteran and returned servicemen and women have the support and respect that they deserve, then, and only then, should we look after other people. Further, the only people we should help are those that we can adequately vet and screen to be certain that we can do so with NO detriment to our culture, our lifestyle and, especially, our safety.
The original idea of immigration was to enhance and bolster our population to the betterment of our nation. In today’s world, immigration no longer achieves this except when we bring in targeted people who possess training and skills that we are short of. Carte Blanche immigration is not the solution to our problems nor is it the solution to the immigrant’s problems. While there is the noble sentiment of at least helping some of the world’s poor, does it make sense to help thousands at the expense of millions, even billions of other people who are not helped? Indeed, our immigration policies actually hurt far more people than they help. Immigration sucks!
By accepting immigrants and refugees, we are robbing their parent countries of the skills and expertise that those countries need to claw their way out of war, poverty and destitution. In addition, the small number of immigrants and refugees, that are accepted, makes no difference in improving the lives of the rest of the people from those countries and, at the same time, simply attacks and degrades our own way of life.
You only have to look at the population increases, around the world, to realise that the small number of people that are accepted into immigration programs is just a drop in the ocean and of no real consequence for the plight of poor nations. Every year the world’s population increases by around 70 million and most of these are in the poorest countries of the world. So the immigration policies, of the west, make absolutely no difference to this issue. If we don’t help the poor countries to build a better life for their own citizens, then immigration is just a cheap band-aid on a lacerated and gangrenous third world.
If you want to understand this point, better, please watch the video at the end of this article. While this video talks about immigration into the USA, the speaker’s points are just as valid when discussing immigration into Australia or into any other country, for that matter. Indeed, his argument is valid for all first world nations who are debating the immigration issue.
As the speaker in the video says, we should help these people where they were born and, in doing so, will be helping billions of people and not just the miniscule number that we are helping now. So we need a change in our thinking and we need to start helping people where they are born, because immigration sucks and only offers very, very limited benefit to anyone!
