    Oh I’m sure you love immigrants nominally but you seem to advocate for policy that is harmful to them.

    I’m not doing your homework for you. I don’t give a shit about you. I don’t know who you are, and I’m not gonna waste effort doing research to pull some random stranger out of their hypocritical bias. I’m just letting you know: you have made some beliefs on false info. If you want to stop living your life bitter about immigration, how about you learn about its positive effects? For starters, how about anyone YOU have positively affected, or the people your dad has?

      I support policies that grant less temporary and permanent visas and restrict student visa and temporary graduate visa holders from applying for permanent residence. I fail to see how this ‘harms immigrants’. Adding and strengthening these caps is not harmful to immigrants. At worst, this is harmful to prospective non-existent immigrants. To study in Australia each and every student visa holder must make a declaration and provide supporting evidence that their intention is only to study and be a ‘genuine temporary entrant’.

      The government already has caps on migration, but they have been actively loosening and removing caps over the past few years. I want them back, and I want them strengthened for the wellbeing of everyone in Australia, including permanent residents. People here don’t give a shit about the actual logistics and just have a hard-on for migration.
