Western nations still at ‘toddler stage’ of immigration debate

Author Douglas Murray says Western nations are still at the “toddler stage” of the immigration debate as he discusses the larger cultural issues. Mr Murray noted that countries like Australia must be doing “something right” as you don’t see Australians trying to enter other countries illegally. “We have got this situation where you can talk about it in economic terms, you can talk about it in housing terms, but the larger cultural terms are still a third rail,” Mr Murray told Sky News Australia. The author hailed people who come to Australia and want to be productive citizens and contribute to the country’s economy. “But if it's the case that you want to come here and you don't really like the place or you want to change the place or you want to change the place back to the sort of place where the place you left from … then maybe that's not going to be a workable deal,” he said.
