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. 

Boston Bombing and how it affect immirgation

Two very big things happened to America in a relatively shot period of time.  The Immigration Reform Bill was given to the public and the tragic Boston Bombing occured.  Due to one of the Alleged bombers being a documented immigrant, there is some debate if reform is really even a positivity.  Many voters and politicians alike are wondering how this terrorist made it though our strict immigration process  legally.  And if they can do it cant anyone?  The difference is that all signs at this point lead the him being just a normal American Immigrant working and whatnot until after he was accepted into the US.  Leads say that he met a mysterious man and spent all his time with him, then took a trip to where they train terrorists, and planed it after that.  May people are saying now that our immigration system is too lax as is and the way to reform it is to make it stricter, and harder for anyone to immigrate.  The issue with this is if we make it even stricter and harder to get into the United States then the amount of people who immigrate without proper documentation will increase greatly.  This then will lead to ICE having an unimaginable task of keeping America "safe."  If someone wants to get into the US that bad they will, or they will die trying.  But if we tighten the reins on immigration even more rather then helping it would only hurt us.  Because like my professor Nuno stated, most terrorist will not pass through immigration legally, they will do it rather illegally.  And if we do have so much more undocumented immigrants ICE will be too busy deporting and prosecuting the nannies, maid, mothers, father, gardeners etc. to be able to find the terrorist, or the ones that actually a threat to America.  this then will make America even more unsafe.  Plus all signs lead to him being a normal law abiding citizen when he was admitted to America, and then was lured into terroisic movements.
