Immigration in Austrailia

Australia used to be like America  a land for people to easily immigrate too without persecution.  Many Chinese, Italian, and African populations made the journey to Australia to avoid religious persecution.  But now like America it is filling up, and they are beginning to close their borders.  Australia is rich in minerals and the economy is doing relatively well.  So people are still interested in joining the country.  Yet There are now people who say they do not deserve to.  And the people who have lived there for generations are not real Australians is they are not of British decent. Many say the Asian population refuses to assimilate and learn the language in order to survive and are creating their own networks of people of similar decent, and this helps them to not assimilate.  Much like America there is debate on how immigration should be handled.  Many say they should close their borders completely in order to keep the Asian populations mainly out of Australia.  Where as some say that Immigration is what Australia is biased on.  I was watching a documentary on some Australian women who travels around the globe and people always ask her where she is from, she always states she is from Australia then people say, no where are you originally from, which in turn becomes a complicated question because her ancestry is scattered.  People have this idea of what a Australian should look like just like people have this idea of what an American should look like, yet with globalization and immigration that is changing, yet the stereotypes are not.
