The Joys of Diversity & Cultural Enrichment (I)

This will be an occasional piece where, based on recent news stories, I allow my readers to decide which Western country is getting the most out of its immigration policies. This time there are 2 nominees; Australia and the United States.

1) Australia

The following (graphic) video shows a young man being subjected to a horrific assault by immigrant youths at a railway station in Sunshine, Melbourne (thanks to Vlad Tepes Blog):

You can find out more information about the perpetrators and their attitudes here.

2) United States

Saad Hussein, a refugee from Ethiopia, has been confined to a secure clinic since his arrest last month for sending letters to Barack Obama written in his own HIV-infected blood.

One letter was sent to Obama's office in Springfield, Illinois before his inauguration as president, and another was addressed to his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Hussein's brother (no doubt also living on the generosity of the US taxpayer) insisted that Saad was an admirer of Obama, and just wanted tickets to the inauguration.

I think there's a lesson for us all there on the dangers of over-hyping something, but the question which troubles me most is if this is how this man expresses admiration, how does he act when he dislikes someone?

Saad will be assessed by a psychiatrist to see if he's fit to stand trial, but he's already being treated for mental illness. Sounds like letting him in is another class act by the US immigration authorities...
