The Greens, the best allies of people smugglers.

The Greens, the Asylum seekers and people smugglers
by GDL.

There are, at date, some 30,000  asylum seekers in Australia: 9,234 on Christmas Island, 2,764 in the community, 18,347 on bridging visas (i.e. waiting to be accepted as refugees) 545 in Nauru and a very small number in Manus Island. Some 1,000 have died at sea on their journey to Australia.
The boat-people/ asylum seekers is on the top of the political agenda. It has been an issue for some time, continues to be an issue and will be to be the main political theme  during the campaign.
The opposition has always claimed that they can and will turn back the boats, although they have afterwards added "when it is safe to do so", Recently they said that they will use the army and the navy to prevent the boats coming into Australian waters. On Tuesday 30th July, The coalition released another policy " The Pacific Solution, Mark 2" when they will send 2,000 asylum seekers to Nauru. This solution, its seems, is the plan B, if they cannot stop the boats!!!
Labor for their part, after acknowledging they made a mistake dismantling John Howard's pacific solution, is now sending all the boat people to Papua New Guinea where they will be processed.
While the major parties, Labor and the Coalition are designing tougher and tougher policies to stop the boats, to break the people smuggling business and to stop people drowning at sea, the Greens' policy, on asylum seekers, is the complete opposite.
In the pre-election policy released on Wednesday 30 July 2013, the Greens will welcome all the asylum seekers with open arms, no matter whether they are genuine or not or whether there are criminals or terrorists among them.The Greens will strip all deterrents from refugee policy, will shut down detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island. They will dramatically increase Australia's refugee intake,  give work rights to  those in the community and boost the capacity of the United Nations Refugee Agency to process claims in Indonesia. They will also lift the ban on people in refugee-producing countries coming directly by air to seek refugees.

According to the SMH, "Greens leader Christine Milne will propose a doubling of funding to the United Nations refugee agency to speed up assessment and resettlement of asylum seekers in Indonesia and Malaysia, and a 10,000 increase in Australia's refugee intake. One in three places in the 30,000 program would be set aside for refugees assessed by the UN agency in the region, including at least 3800 in Indonesia."

It is clear that the Greens have always invited refugees to this country. They have always been on the side of refugees and use this as their main political platform instead of talking about jobs, the economy and the future of Australia. Their policies are slogans as they have never put any costing on their policies. They want everything to be given freely. Now they want to blow out the budget on asylm seekers by treating them like kings. The Greens are leftist and many, of them like Lee Reanon, come form the extreme left, Marxist-Leninist wing. This is why they are called the water melons because they hide behind their green coats while they are red (communist) inside. The Greens. are just a bunch of idealists who have no idea of national interest or the economy. Being a marginal party, they embrace the extreme left ideology and cannot move out. Because they are not a main stream party, cannot be and never will be, they stick to the leftist and communist policies to be the vote bank of leftist ideologues, blazees, good-only-for-manifestations, and dole bludgers.

The Greens started as a lobby group of environmentalists have gradually move to embrace policies like gay rights legalising drugs and now welcoming the refugees. Lucky their percentage of voters is stuck between nine to eleven per cent. However the danger is, like we saw with Julia Gillard, they can have the balance of power. This is exactly their strategy. They can also be a nuisance  value and side one way or the other, just to block legislation as we have seen wit the Malaysian solution when the extreme left joined forces with the right-wing liberals-national. Where is your ideology gone ?

While the big majority of Australians are sick and tired of seeing boats arrivals, sick and tired of paying for resettlement of the asylum seekers, the Greens are shouting " Let them in" without any accountability. They do not care if asylum seekers are costing taxpayers billions and that they are destroying and upsetting Australia's  rational immigration policy be if for Labour or the coalition. The Greens do not care how many people come in and how they come in as their arguments rest on the fact that according to the Geneva refugee Convention anyone has a right to seek asylum.  
If Australia  would allow anyone, under the convention, to seek asylum in Australia, we will soon be a nation of asylum seekers and our social fabric will be built on refugee-culture. If this was to happen, and if Australia does not limit its refugee intake and put forward policies to deter asylums seekers from entering Australia, soon there will be no room for legal migration especially skilled migrants which we need so badly. This is probably what the Greens want and in so doing helping the people smuggles to continue their horrible business and lucrative human trafficking . Disgusting!

May God saves us from the Greens and let us pray that there will not be another hug parliament where the Greens will hold the balance of power because once again they will hold this country in ransom. If they have been able to impose a carbon tax on Julia Gillard, their next targets may well be close down the mines, legalise drugs and allow Australia to be swamped by boat people.
People smugglers would find in the Greens a close ally.
