If you think it can't happen here, well it already has. It's a long article but well worth the read to understand just what unwanted mass illegal immigration results in.
Europe was once the exemplar of the good society when seen through the dreamy eyes of Australian sophisticates.
Now, like the images of disease and deformity on cigarette packets, Europe serves as a graphic warning. We must quit our addiction to social engineering before it’s too late.
The European financial crisis of 2008 demonstrated the limits to government spending. This year’s chaos at the borders shows the limits of mass migration. Europe has been eroded of social as well as financial capital.
Anxiety surfaces in many different ways. In Sweden, a woman emailed her prime minister to tell him she had moved out from the suburb in which she was born because it was impossible to walk her dogs “due to the non-Europeans driving on the sidewalks”.
“If you didn’t move out of the way, they would jump out of the car and hit you,” she complained.
In Pocking in Lower Bavaria, the local school recently advised children to wear “restrained everyday clothes” after 200 male asylum-seekers were billeted in the German village. “Transparent tops or blouses, short shorts or miniskirts could lead to misunderstandings,” it said.
A local politician told Die Welt advice of this kind was “absolutely necessary”.

This is an excellent article. We are fortunate to have a reporter that goes beyond the domestic and gives us a world view of just what mass illegal immigration is like to live with.
Some interesting stats as well.

That's easy.Look at the source.Rupert's Faux News.
So if it was in the Guardian then it would be OK with you ? it is an excellent well thought out and researched article but all the letists can say is "Rupert" . now that's a laugh maybe you'e be more comfortable reading the bile filled rants of Secombe.
How about commenting on the article and leaving your Murdoch antipathy out. After all that is the reason anybody posts anything on here, i to discuss the subject and not resort to silly bias and snipes.

speaking of biased newsppaers... how weird is this one??
so I read her link thinking that something had happened
Radical extremists have threatened some of News Corp’s most senior employees for their reporting on Islamic State.
As News Corp celebrated the company’s best journalism at its annual News Awards on Friday night, two of the journalists recognised, The Australian’s national security editor Paul Maley and cartoonist Bill Leak, both spoke about the threats to their safety.
Leak, who won the award for the best cartoonist of the year, thanked the police and News Corp’s security department for their enormous support to him this year.
“Greg Sheridan wrote a beautiful piece for yesterday’s paper that reminded us of how grateful we all should be to the police for the heroic work they do for so little public thanks or acknowledgment,” he said.
“Speaking as someone who’d always felt a bit ‘unloved’ by the coppers and had never had a nice word to say about any of them in his life until things took a bit of a turn for the worse early this year, Greg’s words sure struck a chord with me.
“This year has been more difficult than most to make sense of, and my experience of it has made me realise that, like my tiny little wife, not only the police force but also great big corporations can be as kind as they are tough, too,” he said.
The risks that come with reporting on terrorists mean asking partners to put up with a hell of a lot more than long hours and sessions at the pub that are the usual downside of marrying a journo.
In his speech when accepting his journalistic excellence award, Maley also spoke about the threats he had experienced covering IS.
“Bill Leak has also been the subject of some pretty nasty threats, and one point I’d make about all that is that it has been quite rugged, but at all times all of us have had the staunch backing of the company, security people, but also News Limited,” he said.
“It’s been a very tough year. There have been threats, but I think we’re giving them a lot more trouble than they’re giving us.”
and that's it

do you think they were referring to this?
Police are investigating a specific threat made against an Australian newspaper by a Melbourne man believed to be fighting with terrorists in Syria.
Suhan Rahman, 23, is thought to have been in the war-torn nation for five months, according to media reports.
It is not clear if he joined Islamic State fighters but photos on social media under the account Suhan Abdul Rahman appeared to show him in Syria.
His Facebook account contains messages of support for the Charlie Hebdo gunmen and threats to "spill blood" in Australia.
Victoria Police are investigating the threats, with a particular focus on this post: "theres no good left in u if none of u do something about the australian newspaper mocking our prophet peace be upon him. Dont be cowards (sic)."
The posting makes explicit, graphic suggestions which the ABC has decided not to publish.
Victoria Police said it was working closely with the company named in the threats.
Additional security measures have been put in place at News Corporation in Melbourne.
