Does a country have the right to protect it's borders?

To what lengths should a country go to to protect its inhabitants and borders?

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

See post 25

"am*3, nowhere have I mentioned or implied refugees.

The question is

Does a country have the right to protect it's borders?"

Iza you have the option to read the Murdoch press or not, that applies to all anti Murdoch people.

 

As far as the title and opening post go, they are pretty simple and straight forward questions.

 

I have asked them not because I don't know but to generate some thought and to highlight some of the hypocritical thinking and attitudes as far as border security is concerned.

 

The law is quite clear on unlawful entry.

It's not hard or tiring to stay on track. 🙂

Easy for some, not so easy for others, hard for the minority and impossible for a few.:)

I doubt that we need to protect our borders from Murdoch. He's unlikely to arrive in a leaky boat anyway, I'm pretty sure he's probably got a fleet of private jets and a passport.

under law a country in this case Australia i'm guessing ? most definitely has a right to protect its borders. no doubt or question about that. like all legislation or law there is room for interpretation, but it's pretty tight. under Australian and international law as signatories to the international refugee convention we have obligations too, but that's another subject.

Yes Poddy, I very much believe countries have every right to protect their borders

 

using whatever methods they deem fit

 

 

And as in most things of this nature

 

I take as example Israel

 

 

 

 

Israel makes NO apologies for protecting its claimed (often disputed) borders

 

often with extreme prejudice

 

often citing pre-emtive strikes

 

 

 

And again to use Israel as sterling example of what 'protection of borders' stands for

 

Israel insists on 'protecting its homogeneity'

 

 

Now, as we're all aware, Israelis come in all shades and nationalities

 

So, what does Israel mean when it claims it WILL protect its homogeneity?

 

 

' homogeneous (ˌhəʊməˈdʒiːnɪəs, ˌhɒm-) —adj: 1. composed of similar or identical parts or elements: 2. of uniform nature: 3. similar in kind or nature

 

 

 

 

We must assume Israel means, re: homogeneity, that it is committed to defending its 'uniform nature' and its citizens who are 'similar in kind or nature' i.e. are jews

 

Therefore, Israel has committed itself to protecting its borders -- its homogeneity -- its jewish population and their religion, culture, customs, values, beliefs

 

 

Here in Australia, our homogeneity, which used to be predominantly Christian, white, European in origin, is not being protected by our government -- the government, politicians whom we pay and who we entrusted via our vote to protect our way of life, our values, our culture and customs, our beliefs, our established way of life

 

Instead, here in Australia, we are subject to what some described as unsustainable waves of foreign migrants whose own customs, values, beliefs and origins are in direct contradiction to those with which the majority Australian were raised

 

Child marriage, for example:  this is not a white, Christian, European habit

 

Drive-by shootings

 

Ghettos and ghetto mentality

 

Bloc voting by minority groups in exchange, via corrupt politicians, for concessions

 

 

In Australia, despite the government's desperate PC exercises in promoting the occasional migrant success story, struggling taxpayers are required and compelled to support -- usually for life --- vast numbers of non English-speaking, non-skilled and therefore unemployable migrants in addition to providing them scarce housing not just for one family but very often for the four separate family groups allowable to men who follow a certain religious path

 

In Australia, we're subject to constant invasion (Israel terms them 'infiltrators') by people seeking not just a 'better' life here, but a relatively luxurious lifestyle provided them -- at taxpayer expense -- for free, lifelong

 

Australia has enormous coastlines open to such invasion but does not have the resources to protect those coastal borders, quite apart from the invisible borders broached every hour by plane-loads of migrants

 

Israel wouldn't have a bar of the Australian system

 

Israelis would not tolerate the same infiltration of foreigners as are imposed on Australians

 

 

Israel blithely ignores all directives issuing from the United Nations and all others who castigate Israel for its attitudes re: protection of its borders

 

 

I'm with Israel.  Fight for it -- protect it -- or lose it
