See 'accident of birth', which you've opted to replace here with 'ancestors'. You are not responsible for anything done by your ancestors.

Also, what do you mean by 'build this nation'? They certainly didn't build the physical land, which is ultimately what people want to deny immigrants entry to.

We were seminally present in the loins of our forefathers!

They may not have built the physical land, but they made it better than the ****hole the immigrants come from
(dont try and refute that they come from a ****hole, why else would they come here?)

Doesn't it bother some people that you have more in common culturally with someone in Australia than some of your neighbours ?

Per

I understand that immigration can be a tremendously good thing for the people coming here from poverty/war stricken countries but we are only a tiny island and already overcrowded. Why do you think property prices are so high? Why do people spend their whole lives paying off mortgages? Because there aren't actually enough houses to accommodate the existing population.
Whilst the principle behind our relaxed immigration policies is good, the reality is that we don't have endless resources to exploit, and I'm afraid that if nothing changes soon the problems are going to get worse. Jobs will become even harder to come by, minimum wage will stay impossibly low and the price of living will further soar.
