Letter to The Editor - Watering down the distinction between legal and illegal migration

To The Australian        Travers McLeod does not acknowledge the deep concerns some of us have about the Global Compact on Migration ("Step up? We've stepped aside by failing to sign migration pact", 23/11). Australia has joined the responsible lead of the USA, Hungary and Austria in checking a UNO plan that would threaten our sovereignty and our ability to make our own decisions about who enters Australia and why. There are dangers that the pact might create new rights and entitlements for would-be immigrants, watering down the distinction between legal and illegal migration and causing a huge resettlement of people such as already threatens the stability of several European nations. The pact appears to be another strategy by those seeking to establish a one-world government - a global tyranny from which there would be no place of refuge anywhere on earth.
