bashed then deported, page-14

morning all,

whilst I have sympathy for the bashing -

how can we want a visa overstayer to be brought back whilst at the same time want overstayers who arrive on planes and a few boat people sent packing?

What's the difference?

Some turds hit the kid.

Would we feel the same if he was a Muslim airbore overstayer?

Would we feel the same if he arrived on a boat?

If he planned to stay in australia illegally - and that is what a lot of them do - just that some arrive by boat and the vast majority by plane and then overstay ---------

well, sorry, there isn't any difference.

Personally, if I were to react emotionally - I would not have deported him --------- I would have put the bashers on a leaky boat and sent them into the Pacific.

But, in the end, this kid did noting different to visa overstayers who plan to illegally stay in Australia - so why should we feel different?

Our underdog belief, that's why.

have a great day all

Pinto
