    Tell me you want immigrants from mostly white countries without telling me you want immigrants from white countries.

    Why would anyone tell you a falsehood?

    And they beat the French and the Dutch here. Both of whom were considering setting up colonies. In fact the British were more concerned about beating the French than finding somewhere to dump convicts

    I'm fascinated at the Aussie rush to comment about a Trump immigration related comment when your country is probably the most restrictive one in the Western world. It sounds as if you would simply freak out at if the US had even half of the restrictive immigration policies of Australia.

    I'm having a hard time of imagining the level of hypocrisy required to comment about that. Really off the charts crazy.

    England transported an estimated 50,000 to 120,000 convicts and political prisoners,[7] as well as prisoners of war from Scotland and Ireland, to its overseas colonies in the Americas from the 1610s until early in the American Revolution in 1776, when transportation to America was temporarily suspended by the Criminal Law Act 1776 (16 Geo. 3. c. 43).[8] The practice was mandated in Scotland by an act of 1785, but was less used there than in England. Transportation on a large scale resumed with the departure of the First Fleet to Australia in 1787, and continued there until 1868.

    We took in over half a million people last year - in a country that has less than a tenth your population

    And it was triggered by the intent to deny the French who were also planning to colonise Australia

    My 'rush' to comment was Humpty*** centered and particularly targetted at his remark about 'nice' Countries, given the USA loudly and boldly trumpets to the Planet:

    And they allow anyone to show up at any shore without a refugee status and just walk in? I thought that an undocumented asylum seeker was detained until they either got a visa or was deported.

    Well you see Mike, they are doing those brown people a favor sending them back (twice the original distance) in those unseaworthy boats. Maybe the boats become more safe the longer they are at sea? :fingerscrossed:

    They do. LEGALLY. Their #s are simply dwarfed by illegals and asylum seekers. Watching video from Michigan of protesters, many of them arab immigrants chanting "death to America". I agree with Trump.

    ????? The house passed it and Schumer wouldnt bring it to a vote in the Senate. 37 democrats joined in support of the house bill, just 4 Republicans in the Senate supported their bill.

    We are talking about the recent immigration bill? The one killed by Trump?

    What I said was factually correct, while you have been wrong twice in past two posts. I think I have seen enough of your unpleasantries to end the discussion at this point

    We are all still waiting for Democrats to honor their promise to secure the border When Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens. We won't be fooled again.

    We should call them what the Constitution calls them and that is illegal aliens. Don't let Democrats change what they are. Undocumented my ass!

    The Republican business community adores undocumented immigrants. I am in Wisconsin and most of the rural Wisconsin are MAGA land. But you know what? All the rural Wisconsin farm workers are undocumented immigrant hired by those MAGA farmers. Republican politician love open border and migrant coming in, that way they have issue to run on. The regular MAGA wants "white immigrants from Nice country (Europe)” to come to America.
