printThe Australian common-sense option to stop the deluge of welfare migration into the country is unavailable to Americans. Why? Because none of the political parties offers a platform of sanity and rationality on the issue. Colluding quislings all. Minorities notwithstanding, the vast majority of Americans do not have representation in the halls of power.
Via WND comes the story of an electorate that did what was once considered both rational and attainable:
… The Australian people silently revolted. … So, they threw out the government at the national election in September 2013. One of the incoming government’s core election promises was to “stop the boats.” Immediately, Prime Minister Tony Abbott got to work.
As he couldn’t stop the boats overnight, in those first few months, his government gave the illegal immigrants arriving to Australia two options: “You’ve arrived in Australia illegally. As a result, you will never get to stay here. You will never get to be an Australian. So, you have two options – we will take you to a processing center, and you will wait in detention for your asylum application to be processed. Or we will fly you home for free.”
In addition to this, the Abbott government got the Australian military to enforce its border protection, intercepting boats, turning them around, and even towing them back. And it applied pressure on Indonesia, by demanding it secure its own border.
Soon, the message got out, and the boats have stopped. It’s an ongoing issue that requires vigilance, but it has been achieved. Australia’s policy has been exceptionally effective in saving lives. It’s been done amid incessant howling from the left and the mainstream media. …
