 Yeah true enough,so we have the best immigrant possible and he is already
here,so why are we still bringing them in ?

Yeah for sure, the more SKILLED people like DR Chan and the likes the
better.But only if they have skills that are not already available here.
I have heard all sorts of stories,like the elderly Italian couple that came
out here for 4 months on the Family & friends ,got
nationalised and  went back to Italy on a full OZ pention for the rest of
their lives. As an OZ tax payer..doesn't that piss you off?  As I said we
are all bloody imigrants ( I assume you have heard of CARLAW PARK in NZ
),and it is probably bloody selfish of us to say,"well now that we are
here lets stop anyone else from comming in and stuffing it up". 

Anyway, you bloody avoided the question..."Why shouldn't we put a stop
to imigration?"..I will add "except for the FEW imigrants that
have skills we are short of here"

I don't believe politicians are all total idiots,yet both parties support
immigration..there must be a GOOD reason for this,so bloody well tell me
what it is? ie There was once a kuffaffule (shit I should never have
tackeled that word) about the fact we were sending 1.2 million in aid to
the ivory coast and the idiot dictator there was spending it on a MASSIVE
church,because he wanted the pope to visit.His people were starving to
death all round him. It turned out that he was also buying around $25
million dollars woth of wheat. So there WAS a bloody good reason behind the
1.2 million in aide,as I am fairly sure there is also a good reason for
immigration,but no one will bloody well tell me what it is. 

cheers
