why is it that if we were to go to another country we have to obey their rules and customs,and we get no help.But every other race can come to our country and make us change our history and culture,e.g stop xmas at schools etc.also our government looks after them better then our own.i beleive that is so wrong,we should look after our own first.

Bob - boat people are desperately fleeing for their lives. Their governmet /community wants to kill/torture them because of their political persuasion/religion/ethnicity so it would obviously be pointless for them to try leaving their country by legal means. So why kick vulnerable people when they are down? Wouldn't a helping hand be more appropriate? Whatever happened to the Australian ideal of a fair go? My parents were forever grateful to the people smugglers who spirited them away from Nazi Germany. Their parents and many of their extended family were less fortunate and died at Auswisch.
You and I are fortunate to live in a democracy where we are free to be different. It is not the fault of boat people that they were born into less fortunate circumstances.
