I always wondered about the people, several of whom I met in Calais ----------- who have the guts and determination to leave on long journeys with very little - cross land, through war zones and the like and then sleep under bridges whilst waiting for the right time and resources to go run down the beach and launch a little tiny boat at night and head off across the English Channel

the ones I met were nice people, and guts and determination - wow.

I would have thought that if I were wanting to strengthen my nation with blood - that's what I'd want. But no, we chuck them all in the same basket -

pretty odd way of thinking

the world - and places in particular like Oz - will really need to think through mass migration in the near future - one way or another - there will be very large waves of migrant refugees coming

stopping it? pfffffffffft. The recourses of a combined Europe can't stop it there - and IMO, it's a dribble compared to what is coming

AND - what I learned is that - there's nothing new. I found a visit to the Immigration Museum in Paris to be very enlightening ------------- what we are seeing now ----------------- pfffffffft, - absolutely nothing in comparison to the past - nothing

it's a must see for me as a 'should' if one is going to Paris and interested in politics and immigration

and a plus - pretty good lunch nearby as well

"nothing new"..... yep its the same old same old hatred of Them.... as long as people are restricted by the "Us and Them" paradigm there will always be rejection of Them.

so tribal, so defensive to no purpose, so monocular and intolerant..... but c'est la vie.

I've often said what is needed is access to consular officials in Indonesia to arrange visas and flights to Aus so that the ingress of asylum seekers can be done in an orderly manner. its the only way to destroy the people smugglers business model.
