And for anyone who says that it's "impossible" or "impractical" I would suggest that they look to Australia.

Isn't Australia an island?

I'm just saying....

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yes, a very large island, which thousands of Indonesians and refugees from SE Asia try to enter each and every year.

However, they have a prime minister who refused to be demagogued into making concessions that would have unraveled the fabric of his nation, and stood firm against these aliens that wanted to invade and subvert Australian culture.

I realize that some Australians have their own complaints about Howard and the governing Liberal Party-many of them mirroring our own expressions of disgust with some of the misguided policies implemented by the Republicans in power here-but on this one issue I would love to switch places with them.
