My parents were refugees, but I was born here in Australia. I understand peoples' concern for their jobs being taken up by immigrants. It's scary and daunting to think there are less jobs in the market should you ever be looking. That said, I think how hard immigrants work relative to citizens of the country is a judgement that no one can accurately estimate. The fact that a lot of immigrants and refugees come here with little to no money, and still manage to make a life for themselves and their family on such low pay should be testament to how hard they actually work. I'm not saying they work harder than anyone, I just think their effort shouldn't be discredited.
Anyway, I'm fine with immigrants coming into the country and working. Even though it kind of eats away at the back of your mind, making you feel a little insecure... at the end of the day we have to remember most of these people just want a better life for their family. They're just like you or me and they should be given a chance to make their families happy.
