TW, if you follow the exchange from posts 350 to 352, you might see that my comments were in the context of a huge flood of people. Doubling the population in five years kind of scenario. I cannot imagine this would be in any country's interest - the infrastructure would simply be swamped.
I was talking about whether a nation has the right to regulate immigration to manage this sort of situation. I was not saying that all immigration is bad.

My perspective is that of an Australian. A constant, moderate flow if diverse immigration is definitely good for Australia. A huge wave would create a lot of problems.

Please do not suggest I am xenophobic. Right now I am a xeno. And a quick think of my friends from the last decade or so shows that a good deal less than half are old-style "anglo" Australians.
And please, do not ever liken me in any way to Rush Limbaugh. Ever.
