He wasn’t a citizen. DTM was talking about cancelling citizenship, not visas. |

And what would cancelling citizenship do if you have nowhere to deport them to? |

^ It’s where this discussion always goes. “Deport them because we can” turns into “Deport the rest of them too”. Emphasis on them (i.e. non-whites). Dutton and co. know exactly who they’re playing to when they talk about deporting dual citizens and so on. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Maybe we could open a new penal colony in Antarctica.
It would be cheap, wouldn't need an actual gaol or guards or anything, just drop them off and sail away, leave them to it _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Apparently if you can convince the ECB that they can play cricket well, you can deport them to the UK. |

We don’t have to make them citizens. It is a choice we make. For new immigrants, especially those given asylum, an indefinite leave to remain subject to continued good character is perfectly feasible.
And of course deporting someone of bad character who is not a citizen (something we do now when we can) does not turn into “deport them all”. It never has, and there is no reason it should.
It’s as though you give someone shelter by giving them part-title to your house, and then find you can’t throw them out when they trash it, because they own the house !! All very silly. _________________ Two more flags before I die!

Syrians who have passed through their war, Cambodians who escaped the killing fields, or Jews after the Second World War. I’d say this is a specific subculture problem, exacerbated by light touch policing and courts and the usual fear of the racism slur. I don’t think we need to make too many excuses for it. I still like the “probationary right to remain” concept. Commit such crimes, and back you go. There are lots of people who want to live here without brutalizing the host. |
In a number of those examples though, the parents would have had some sense of what a normal life was like. Shit has been happening in the Sudan for so long that the parents of these kids are quite possibly a lost generation in themselves, with little or no knowledge of how a family unit is supposed to function when you aren't in a war zone.
It's definitely a problem, because there's a number of people in the Sudanese and Somalian community trying to assist with it. They aren't in denial, they're trying to help with solutions.
I think it's a bit of a perfect storm.
drop a bunch of black kids into a society where they stick out like dogs balls, without the necessary social and infrastructure services to help them and their parents, chuck in a bit of US black gangsta rap culture which they can likely relate to, blend that with the parents having their own issues in coping with a very different society and culture, sprinkle over top asian and indian populations who generally don't play well with Africans and you have all the makings of a shit sandwich. |
The data quoted earlier by David’s link suggests that 90% of Sudanese youth do not commit vicious crimes. They have all of the problems you mention. Crime is a choice. We created a lot more of it when we started blaming everything except the perpetrator. We would do well to encourage people not to make that choice, and treat them with civilized severity when they do. It’d be good for them (by discouraging them from making stupid choices), good for that community and good for us. It would not be good for the family of a kid who goes astray, but then it never is.
That said, if we are to be the world’s social hospital, then of course we should provide infrastructure to support it. That is not incompatible with chucking out vandalising patients. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

As I said previously, I have zero knowledge of facts here. Are they actually citizens? If so, how long does it take for a refugee to gain citizenship? I presume for regular migrants, it goes in stages over several years, passing through PR status first. Is it the next generation (i.e. the children) that are implicated in crime? |

I don’t know what the present policy is. I am just advocating the policy that I think fits with the interests of the Australian community and citizens, which is what our politicians are paid to do. If the present lot are citizens then they cannot be deported. But the politicians who made them citizens without a probationary period were fools, and we should change the law in future to prevent their foolishness from carrying forward, so when the next batch of people we invite into our home turn on us and smash up the furniture, we can remove them. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Might need to hire a good chef to avoid causing penguin diarrhoea. |
