I want them to stop dodging questions about human rights in countries where the immigrants they want us to accommodate in vast number here hail from, and how their culture might impact on our more tolerant inclusive society. That’s what I want.

What is so wrong with giving asylum seekers the information that they need BEFORE they waste their time, so they can make an informed desicion about where they want to go? You do agree that a host country shouldn’t have to change its accepted mores to accommodate the sensibilities of visitors?

Most of the people on this thread who are anti refugees would still be against them if they were all selected from applicants in refugee camps who have full background checks. Because once that was done the argument would shift to "They're completely incompatible" or "They come from a culture that wants to subjugate all of us" or "They allow child rape in islam" or some other such nonsense. Edit: One thing where you say a country shouldn't change. That's a kind of weird question. I don't think they should negatively restrict freedoms. Now I'm saying negatively restrict because some restrictions are good. Being a racist could be part of your culture (say deep south america) but that doesn't mean that it should be legal to verbally abuse black people. And stopping someone from abusing black people is technically restricting their freedom but it's not a bad thing to restrict. Likewise it may be necessary to change certain laws for refugees/immigrants. So long as it doesn't have any negative affect on the rest of society then I'm ok with it.
