I'll ignore the insincerity of your post just to say that there was a
time perhaps 15-20 years ago when I was actually very proud of our
multi-cultural society. Since then the lack of immigration control has
resulted in communities where integration is less and a hugely
diversifying black economy undermines employment and serves to fuel the
racist policies of the growing "ignorant minority" blurring the
difference between racism and immgration policy.

I think it would take many years of Australia opening it's borders
instead of ferrying immigrants to remote islands for you to begin to
comprehend why an unbalanced immigration policy is nothing to be
envious of.
