Yes, yes, yes!

Migrants are disruptive to the current stability of the country and threaten to destroy the very fabric of society that exists currently in Australia.

Their lack of knowledge of Australian culture and systems minimizes their ability to contribute to society effectively.

Okay.. Tell me how does the Asylumseeker is benefits for us. Tell me one reason wat's the benefit of putting them to our country. It doesn't give us any benefits. We are already full with Asians and other migrants. We are getting overload and we are not a machine where you can put some people in it every time. Of course, it is unfortunate to hear their stories, however we can not help them.. If we keep helping them, they will come here everytime when they have a war and we simply don't want to get involved in any war, do we?

You're mistaken.

Read the title.

Then read my post.

I'm arguing that we should accept far fewer migrants. What the hell are you disputing my post for? We're on the same side!

"Migrants are disruptive to the current stability of the country and threaten to destroy the very fabric of society that exists currently in Australia."

Please demonstrate how.

"Their lack of knowledge of Australian culture and systems minimizes their ability to contribute to society effectively."

You seem to be avoiding the fact that migrants can be educated further, and that if a lack of knowledge is a problem, then we solve the problem of the educative system. This way, we continue to receive migrants and they then contribute to society more effectively.

Migrants are disruptive to the current stability and threatens to destroy the fabric of society existing in Australia today. They come in not knowing much about the Australian political systems, the current culture, so they can't really make an informed decision when it comes to voting, they behave in ways that may be normal in their home countries, but are unacceptable in Australia.

Not to mention they bring with them political problems from their home countries, so if they were at war with other groups in their home countries, they continue that war on Australian soil, etc... That, my friend, disrupts the current stability of the country.

.

On the education of the migrants: IT COSTS MONEY!

Money that we can use to better educate the people already in Australia, who ALREADY knows Australian cultures and systems.

Australia is in need for more immigrants. All of the immigrants immigrated to Australia nowadays are skilled immigrants. They are all doctors, teachers etc.. The immigrants help build the economy of Australia.

Hi

I'm doing this debate and these are some of the things i have come up with some of my friends and family.

we should accept far fewer migrants because of;

- culture differences

- loss of national identity (do we have one?)

- terrorism risk (we don't know who they are and what they do)

- quarantine (some of the boat people never go through it)

- why Australia and not other countries???

if you could help elaborate on these. it would be great...

Thanks

Rebuttal against all those points:

"culture differences"

These are an accepted part of Australia. This is what makes Australia a multicultural country; a title held with great pride. If we accept far fewer migrants, our pride in multiculturalism will collapse.

"loss of national identity."

No, we will lose our national identity if we do accept far fewer migrants.

"terrorism risk"

This is more of a case with Illegal Immigrants and Asylum Seekers. We should be more focused on these particular people in order to stamp out the bigger part of that problem. Now, as for the very few amount of migrants who fall under this category, this is an issue for customs and border patrol to take care of. We should step up the security rather than cut back on migrants.

"quarantine"

1. We are not talking about "boat people" (the correct term being refugees).

2. We have quarantine, and if it is a problem then we work to fix it. If quarantine is at fault then laying back on migrants is not going to solve the problem. After all, what about tourists?

"why Australia and not other countries???"

(Ahem) There are other countries that accept migrants. America accepts more than we do, and New Zealand takes a fair amount as well. I wouldn't use that in your actual debate; you could risk getting smashed by rebuttal.

Hopefully you will fix up a few things and perhaps you will do well in your debate! :)

It is good, but I am afraid to say that we should stop, because look at Australia, right now. We still have lots of major problems for instance like adopting the internet filtering to protect our people from those horrible sites in the internet. We are trying all we can to protect our people, but still we aren't good enough lots of good and innocent people dies everyday even though we try our best, so how could we proudly say that we could accept more migrants and able to protect them when we can't even protect our own people? in my own experience, I was once got bullied in the street. I should've called the police but I didn't, because all they say when I call them is they are busy taking other people's problem that they don't have time to save me.

I would say we have to stop and we need to look after our people. After all, this is our country. We should take care of our people before we take care of other people whose from other country.

Okay, firstly, you grammar is just awful!!!*

Secondly, your point is just ridiculous.

Our country's security is faced with many problems, but these are problems that can be solved and prevented! Do we need more police? Let's encourage young men to join the police force as we would encourage them to join the army. Do we need to solve the problem of racial attacks? Let's help our people combine as one by encouraging our communities to come together.

Crimes are going to happen regardless of anything we do, but it is important to do what we can do and help to control any issues that we may have.

If we stop looking after people who are in need, we lose our sense of pride in what our country stands for; multicultural freedom. We should care for all of our people; and if we can't, we should work towards solving these problems.

Okay, I thinks it's time we established that migrants, refugees and asylum seekers are ALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Refugees and asylum seekers are people that ran away from their own country and are simply looking for somewhere to run to, while Migrants have willingly moved to another country, in this case Australia, in search of a new lifestyle, a way to start fresh and to work here, contribute to our economy and especially, pay taxes.

Australia should be honored that we are the country that people want to come to, and it seems fair enough when you consider Australia's ridiculously tiny population of 20million.

I think I should point out that there are at least two other debates on this site based on this same topic. Maybe, next time the competition comes around, you should all check first before creating you debate to make sure the topic isn't already there.
