MIGRATION ASSIGNMENT “Outline and discuss the similarities and differences in the treatment of Indo-Chinese refugees in the 1970’s and post 2000 refugees in Australia.” The treatment of refugees in Australia has slowly been changing over the last 38 years. The first wave of Indo Chinese refugees arrived in Australia in 1975, after the Vietnam War (Macleay, 2011).

Every one minute Australia's population increases by a new person, currently making Australia the gold medallist of growth! Our population is rising at a faster rate than any European nation, and faster than China, India and Indonesia. In 2009 record levels of overseas migration and childbirth increased our population by 480,000 people and by 2050 it's predicted Australia's population will reach 36 million.

Taking into account the serious challenges of lack of water, poor soil and urban congestion, Dick believes we need to stabilise our population, not increase it.
Simple: A cultural and marketing phenomenon known as the U.S. Latino market." - Bromely Aguilar Associates, media kit, 1999 Over 35 million Latinos live in the United States alone. Every minute, the U.S. Latino population grows by 2.5 people. From a marketing perspective, that is another 150 potential customers arriving every single hour or 3,600 per day.

Part of being Australian is understanding the humour and taking it with a grain of salt when sometimes being on the receiving end. I believe that a good Aussie sense of humour is the cherry on top of a crisp, fluffy Pavlova that is the great blokes and sheilas of Australia. Our Aussie ability to make and take a joke can put a good spin on any situation. I feel so welcome and appreciated by a nation that opens up their doors and says “g’day mate, c’mon in for some
Although this might be true, but according to the video “Beck, Immigration, World Poverty, and Gumballs,” Beck states that the one million immigrants that the US takes every year are the most hardworking, and educated people who are looking for a better life. Moreover, immigrants show their willingness to cooperate in the American notion of nationalism through serving under the American forces, and in 2008, over 65000 of the forgings were serving under the US flag (Gold, 2015).
