Jandajoy, you are just as silly and lacking in credibility to say that 80% of illegal immigrants fly into Oz. Go to the Australian Parliamentary Library website in the section entitled "Some Comparative Statistics" you will see:

Making broad sweeping statements, I suggest you look up the simple statistics and don't misquote them or twist them around. Saying something like that shows just as much lack of proportion as Mid's statement.
And by the way, many of the over stayers leave....they just do it late.


Don't bother with anything JJ says, his credibility has been shattered time and time again on this forum, on the other hand Mid is solid but has got bent out of shape on the children issue.

I can see where he is coming from but unfortunately he is not viewing the big picture, he is blinded by not knowing, realizing or accepting what the Australian government is trying to achieve.

The next call will be : " Australians are baby killers ".

Disappointing really compared with his usual level headed posts.
