You don't have to fully understand how something would work to form an opinion that it is better than what we currently have in place. The Oz example isn't a fair comparison because they weren't in a free movement block before implementing it. I think we all know beyond any form of doubt that leaving the EU and implementing a points system would reduce migration from the level it is at today.

When moving to another country, it's not the other countries job to integrate you. It's your job to integrate. Speaking the language and hanging around with people who aren't from same original country would do that. It's the segregation that causes hostility, not visa versa in my opinion.

Also, for future reference, you're attempting to do to me what you accuse others of doing to you. Ask yourself where you'd put yourself on that chart you posted earlier on in the thread.

Gusset - what do you do to integrate with visitors to this country?

The (and I use this term advisedly) quality of immigrant is higher. i.e. they are generally better educated / skilled.

I do think that you are looking at the integration argument a little lopsidedly.

We all know that there are sections of the community that integrate better than others. Bradford had massive and still has significant problems with the Muslim population being so insular. This to a greater or lesser extent is repeated in various cities across the country. With the best will in the world it is difficult to encourage integration with people who can't / refuse to speak the language.

As for deporting low paid workers - bonkers

Which is Aussie speak for generally 'white'. Why is that a better quality that they educated or skilled, surely that is a threat to existing jobs and trades of the upper working classes, rather than the working classes?

Australia, is a country where migration is very much still about race, they're just far less open about it.

An interesting aside to this, is that my wife is White South African, and in the last 12 years or so a lot of her family and friends have had absolutely no trouble emigrating to Australia - Even people she knew who dropped out of school, and have no really defined skill set.

Your opening sentence was around second bottom on the scale.

So nothing then?

Do don't go out of your way to socialise or spend time with people of other nationalities. However, you seem very adept at telling others what they should do. Interesting.
