My Refugee Journey | Dai Le | TEDxOrange

[@triphan9447]

In 2022, Dai Le has made history as the first refugee to be elected in the Australian House of Representatives as an independent MP for Fowler, without support from any of the major political parties, entirely with her own merits and her allegiance to her community.

This story is still relevant today as Ukraine goes through their current unnecessary war.

[@chriswatson1698]

The courage and sacrifice of the Ukrainian men show up asylum seekers as cowards and parasites.

Peace of Christ.

They should have stayed in Vietnam to rebuild the country. Many did. Any hardship that they suffered was caused by their desertion of their own country.

[@leevanbinh]

If you were running away from Vietnam after the war, it meant you thought you were going to die.

[@chriswatson1698]

But you would have been wrong. And later, when the crisis was passed and it was possible to go back to Vietnam to visit relatives safely, the runaways still didn't return to their homeland.

@@chriswatson1698 Why did you run away from Old England to come to Australia Chris Watson? According to what you say, you should go back to your Motherland and not stay in First Nation land. People chose to stay here is the same reason why you chose to stay here instead of returning to your Old England. or your Old Saxony in Germany.

@@salimali8668 That is not true. My grandparents came to an outpost of their own country. The infrastructure and institutions were built by members of their own nation. They did not go to another nation to take a share of the living standard that was bought and paid for by other people's ancestors. They are entitled to have the fruits of their own labour go to their own descendants, not to strangers who weren't interested in Australia until the whites made her rich.

@@Dragon_Lance It is NOT the responsibility of Australians to give the rest of the world 'better lives'. The people of Europe endured centuries of bad government and their countries were bombed during the 20th century. Burglars want better lives. Our nations are our homes and we, our parents and grandparents have worked hard to make them comfortable places for our children and our children's children. We are entitled to have the fruits of our labour go to our own descendants. Modern migrants and refugees are like burglars who go into other people's homes to get a share of the stuff that the residents have worked hard to pay for.
