Must not speak the truth about "boat people"

"Boat people" are illegal immigrants, mostly Afghans and other poorly educated Muslims, who arrive in Australian waters by boat. They are immediatey imprisoned on arrival while their claims to be asylum seekers are assessed
SERCO, the company that runs immigration detention, has stood down an officer who posted Facebook comments saying Muslim children in detention did not deserve Christmas presents and male detainees taught their children it was acceptable to beat wives.

The Serco officer, who has direct contact with asylum seekers held at the Darwin Airport Lodge, posted the Facebook comments on Monday, after an incident in which Christmas presents for 200 children were not handed out by officers until 12 days after Christmas.

In the first Facebook comment, the officer wrote: "Sad for all the Christian kids! Not sure why Islamist (sic?) would want Christmas present."

A short time later he posted: "I don't know of any country in the world that you can enter illegally an be granted freedom immediately! No one abuses them, perhaps u forget the saying it takes two to tango. Maybe you need to come and face these men who teach their children that women have no rights. I guess you must think there is nothing wrong with domestic violence."

"I thought they were pretty outrageous comments," Ms Martin-Iverson said. "What he essentially said is they are wife beaters. It is horrific and he is working directly with asylum seekers." She contacted the immigration department and the department's compliance division responded.

Wife beaters? Yeah, but it's not personal; they don't beat their wives with their fists - they use sticks and leather belts, so it's OK.

As for complaining about kids getting presents - jeez, what a grinch! These poor kids are dragged around by their parents and probably don't have anything but the clothes on their backs. You can be sure Muslim culture and officials wouldn't give them anything. What's wrong with a little Christian Christmas cheer? Anyway, if these presents would prevent one future suicide-bomber then they are worth it.

The "Christmas Presents" comment indicates a complete disconnect between what Christmas IS (a celebration of the birth of Jesus, who hands out grace as a gift to people who are neither worthy NOR capable of earning it) and what we practice today (an excuse for extended Holidays and to complain about what we DIDN'T get, as if we deserved anything).

The "domestic violence" comment is probably true for some of these Islamists. However, I think he may paint with an overly broad brush....

Apparently, he hasn't been to the US lately. Our Australian friends would do good to remember what happend in the US when the so-called "Cuban boat people" illegally ivaded America during a period we call, "our time of national embarrassment", ie. the Carter administration.

Those people, mostly criminals, spies, and the mentally unstable, were all allowed to stay here and live off the land. They're still here, and still living off "the land", ie. the taxpayers.

The guard's comments were insensitive, intolerand and likely unchristian.
However, have his comments in any way inhibited his ability to perform his job functions?

@Go Away Bird- Elian Gozalas was returned to his biological father after his mother tried to bring him to this country illegally and damn near got him killed.
Ya know, the thing that always got under my skin about that incident...if it had been the kids FATHER that died and his MOTHER wanting him returned, they would have had him on a boat to Cuba in 24 hours...

re: Elián González
These comments prove that a child's natural father do not have any rights. So much for repuglican family values.
