One of the reasons why Australia and Canada have support for migration is because they control the numbers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One thing is undeniable. If we are going to continue to have support for migration, we need to be able to control the numbers.
I am in favour of migration; I simply want to control the numbers.
Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth.
I think that people should come to Australia through the front door, not through the back door. If people want a migration outcome, they should go through the migration channels.
It is time we recognised the huge contribution that migration has made to the economic growth of this country.
Immigration is not just compatible with but is a necessary component of economic growth.
Migration - whether emigration or return - at the micro level is an individual choice, and government both at the Centre and the states have role only to facilitate the decision of the individuals.
I think there's a big misunderstanding on the value of migrants.
People end up fleeing countries who adopt economic policies based on these flawed principles. And more often than not, they come here.
There are people all over Australia who use their homes as hubs that they travel from, and they encourage their indigenous people to continue to stay there.
