Boat people are not refugees

[lightningdance]

At last it has been admitted what many of us have known for years. illegal boat immigrants are not refugees, they are economic refugees.

Bob Carr admitted this on Lateline with Tony Jones.

He also admitted that the immigration dept dealing with this massive influx has been staffed with people who are not competent & are pro immigrant in all forms.

We are seeing over 100 people a day arriving, Labor has totally lost control of the situation & we are facing an influx of illegal immigrants who are criminally invading us at will.

45.000 people are here in the community & detention with 100 a day arriving non stop.

This failure alone is an indictment on Rudd & further indictment on Gillard & Labor who have lied to us for 6 years & now they expect us to vote them back in.

what are they then ? boating enthusiasts ? ' we crossed the timor sea in a leaky boat for sport' they are just budget thrillseekers ay..

so lakey sweetie how many are you going to take into your house and give food and shelter to?   

How many have you done so far?.... My guess... NONE.....

But any way please enlighten us all about how much of a humanitarian you are lakey  and how many you have taken in or are planning to take in.

Same question applies to the other bleeding hearts on here...

HOW MANY........ my guess..... NONE

Lets see iv the saviour and messiah can fix HIS MESS

NW, how will Tony.. Fix It ?

his plan won't float by the look of things ...how will he therefore deliver on his slogan ?

[izabsmiling]

I mean his promise

That is a very strange question........most people are not sitting in an empty 6 bedroom home just waiting for the opportunity to house someone less fortunate.......we have families, commitments and or jobs ourselves.

Not a lot of people would make suitable hosts.... language barrier, cultural/food barrier, financial and geographical barriers.

anyone paying tax is contributing aren't they ?

[azureline**]

I would think so Iza.

[*mrgrizz*]

Saying he "believes" it does make it so......

you think the minister would know

[***super_nova***]

.... I did not watch it last night.  BUT considering that over 95% of the people who arrived here in the boats were found to be refugees I wonder in what context did Carr say that.  The government has sent some Tamils back, and there are reports that they have been arrested and tortured in jail, some are believed to be dead - I have heard Carr justifying their deportation by the claim that they were not "real refugees".

here is the transcript .Lightning Bob Carr also said this on Lateline

TONY JONES: OK. So is there a possibility that Kevin Rudd could do a Tony Abbott and simply say, "In my first days in office - or back in office as Prime Minister, I'm gonna stop the boats, turn them back if necessary, use the Navy," that sort of thing?

BOB CARR: No. Tony, that's irresponsible language and Kevin Rudd pointed out two weeks ago on the ABC that the Tony Abbott rhetoric of "I will stop the boats" as if by magic is ridiculous and unsustainable. Tony Abbott by the way has retreated from that, beaten a retreat from that. It's stop the boats in the first year and then it evolved into - it's transmuted now into stopping the boats - stopping the boats in the first term.
