Australia to take more refugees claiming it will deter illegal immigration….
Posted by Ann Corcoran on August 23, 2012
….say what!
It was only a few days ago we learned that one city, Melbourne, is having a heck of a time with increased crime from its refugee population, here. Yet, in what looks to me to be crazy logic, the Gillard government is planning to become the second largest refugee resettlement country in the world—after the US of course.
Government to people smugglers: ‘come on guys, we increased the refugee quota so stop trying to make money by shipping in the illegals!’
From The Telegraph:
Australia said it would increase its annual refugee intake by 40 per cent to 20,000 a year, as part of a plan to deter people smugglers.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the rise, which was recommended by a recent expert inquiry into refugee policy, would include the immediate resettlement of 400 asylum-seekers from Indonesia as a gesture of goodwill
“We will be increasing our annual refugee intake from 13,750 to 20,000 places in this financial year,” Mrs Gillard said in a statement. The financial year began on July 1.
“This is a more than 40 percent increase to our humanitarian intake and the biggest boost to Australia’s refugee intake in 30 years.”
The boost, accompanied by a £6.8 million funding injection to regional refugee programmes, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, is part of tough new policies aimed at stopping people-smuggling.

…the new quota would make Australia the world’s second-largest refugee resettlement country after the United States. [for new readers: in recent years we've (US) taken about 70,000 refugees annually and in addition almost that number have been granted asylum---ed]
Next! Australia taking refugees from South Africa (the Rainbow Nation!), and they aren’t the persecuted whites!
Oh, and one more thing, for all of you who say from time to time, I’m moving to Australia, forget it!

Guillard is Australia’s Obama. She has been destroying Australia’s white race with a machine gun.

Damn, I used to get nothing but “good vibrations” from Australia, and now they are getting to be a bunch of goofballs.
Crocodile Dundee was their super-hero but he went Hollywood.
But then they made the big mistake of letting a few Muslims in and now the guys from Islam are starting to eat their lunch. Paid for by the Aussie taxpayers, of course, and now the citizens are getting all weak inside trying to accommodate the Sharia Peddlers.
What do you think if we sent in a few hundred Texas Baptists to take the country back?
Has anyone seen Bomber Bill Ayers, Bomberette Bernadine Dohrn or George Soros in Sydney lately? Has the USA
loaned the Aussies a few billion to help in potential offshore oil drilling? They must be getting some of our deficit money
somewhere.
But, exactly what did you expect from a country whose founders were a bunch of criminal white-boys?
Even worse, then they had to go and let in Quigley from the good old US of A. But then he went back home.
Seriously, if they had just left the Aboriginals alone………..

The population of the US is 311,591,917.
The population of Australia is 22,620,600.
How can our governments do this while seeing what is taking place in Europe?
Is this a global conspiracy? It sure as heck looks like it.

I think its a conspiracy aided and abetted by government bureaucrats just doing their jobs (and wanting to keep them), big business interests looking for cheap and captive laborers, Lefties looking for reliable voters to demand “services” and thus bring more socialism, and naive do-gooders who carry their water allowing all the other interests to hide under what I call the “white hat” of the good people. That is as opposed to us—racists and bigots who don’t want any change and want poor people of the world to starve.
