Someone seemed to be implying closed borders in Australia.
Besides, false equivalency works both ways.
There are places in the world where people who are different are being slaughtered for being different, Christians as an example, and we should do more than lip service, at the same time, we don't need to go around doing the same, and killing people, simply because they're different.
And that is part of this debate. Some people think that all countries should by default have open borders and if they don't then they are being fascist/racist/phobic etc...
Countries fought wars to have the borders they have. Their citizens and legal system outlines who has rights in the country and who gets in legally.
Can I just show up to Japan and say here I am, now feed, house, and cloth me...and while we are at it start speaking English and take down your religious symbols...and put my symbols up...and also we abide by my cultural (homeland) laws and not Japanese laws. How does that sound?:lmao:
An Australian General (Army or Navy) simply made Youtube videos in different languages telling migrants that we will not take you in.
We are not Germany. We have our own rules so do not just show up on our shores without an invitation.
It is interesting how Iran looked pre 1979 and post 1979. Iranians rather refer to themselves as Persians today.
Checkout the Youtube videos of Iran pre 1979...kinda looked like downtown Toronto...look at it today...notice the women first.
But whatevs people elect their governments and condone what they do so for better or worse they live with the consequences of those decisions.
Seems that their is a battle of ideologies...and sadly it tends to be the innocent people on both sides that do most of the suffering.
