Zep 0 #1 July 5, 2014 So those pesky little Tamils from Southern India not content with starting a terrorist war in Northern Sri Lanka (Ceylon), then after causing mayhem and murder, getting their butts kicked by the Sri lankas, now have the audacity to ask for asylum in Australia. The worst of it is that the bleeding hearts and the PC of Australia want to give those trouble makers free entrance. Fuck em send them back to their home land.

I didn't say they were involved in any fighting. If they want political asylum their ancestral home is right next door. No I don't think every Basque is part of a terrorist movement, but every Basque person I know from Pays Basque wants out of the Spanish federation just like the Catalans.

No. Don't try to spin it, The Tamils Emigrated to Sri Lanka they then tried by terrorist tactics to force the Sri Lankans to concede territory in the North East of Sri Lanka so they could establish a home land. I'm fully aware of the history of the Tamils. The thread was about the Australians and the bleeding hearts that live the there and who will never be affected by the devastation caused by the Asian immigrant.

I understand it. Shame we haven't outgrown it. The irony is that this thread is a mirror image of the drooling, anti-immigrant xenophobia on full display in the "Courageous Americans confront illegal immigrants" thread currently going on in here. Different continent, same damn thing. Same irony, too: descendants of European immigrants whose disease, weapons and whiskey wrought genocide on the native/aboriginal population, now complaining about the current wave of immigration. As if their ancestors weren't enough of a pox on the land. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None, If the Tamils on the boat were not terrorists (and I have no reason to suspect that they were) then the only relevance is by association. The whole point of this is that Australia has some of the toughest immigration laws in the world, A lot of would like to emigrate there by using the proper channels only to be refused, I don't see the bleeding heart brigade standing up for them. If some one wants to start a new life in a different country then then use the proper channels. "If a guy from Northern Ireland comes to your restaurant do you frisk him for nail bombs?"

Additionally, I don't count the slaves as "illegals" as it wasn't really their doing . . . The fact is, there was no "legal" or "illegal" immigration laws when the vast majority of the lower 48 was settled, simply "quotas" on certain races that were not welcome.
