@Roorigeg we are discussing our social safety net to show u our 'lowest' and 'weakest' is doing better then your working poor who get like $7 an hour. I love base-lining on our vulnerable population because it shows you that Australia doesn't forget about them unlike your ghetto rats.
Many American states pay $15 per hour as the minimum wage. Take for example Seattle or CA. The minimum wage has been increased. The poor in America get subsidized healthcare, implemented by Barrack Obama. It is based on your income. If you're unemployed or receive benefits, you get a free healthcare. If you get laid off not on your fault and you worked a minimum of 6 months, you get unemployment insurance.
When employed, the number of vacation days vary. You at minimum get 2 weeks of vacation pay, plus similar amount of sick days. If you're a woman who is giving birth, you qualify for a family leave act.. If you get injured, you qualify for short term disability. If you're permanently disabled, you qualify for long-term disability, plus Social Security income.
As for pension, if you worked 40 credits, which is 10 years, you automatically qualify for SSI benefits, and the amount you receive on monthly basis depends upon your income. Plus we have a 401k that you put it in 6% of your salary for pension without being taxed by either federal or state govts in every year. You can also put in roth IRA, which is another form of pension, but it is money you put in after tax.
I saw many progressive and liberal politicians who want to improve the system, but they never use Australia as a model; they use Denmark as a model.
Using your own statistic we have only 25% unemployment rate our professional, managerial, and trade sector is a whopping 22% of our employment. Why is it you can't find stats for somali america professional rate, i'll tell u why? it's non-existent that's why u rely on 1 token negro.
You're spewing a hot air. You're lowest under performing group of people in Australia. Every other immigrant is outperforming you. Your median income is $378 per week when Australia's poverty line 423 per week for singles. That is a disaster. It got to the point where the Austalian govt doesn't want any more Somali immigration.
Whereas in Minnesota, Somalis are outperforming the natives. 77% of Somali men and 61% of Somali women have been reported to be working, plus 7.7% who were classified as disabled. 77% + 7.7% gives you 84.7%. What is not reported was 15.3%, which could be young adults attending colleges or truck drivers who didn't respond to the survey. The cab/tax drivers also make their money and don't report it since it is on cash basis. So all of the numbers of Somalis in Minnesota have been counted. Keep in mind, it wasn't scientific nor based on real data. It was based on survey where people voluntarily answered those questions.
If Australia is capping Somali n Sudos migration when we have 5 times less unemployment then america somali, it only shows they have a high expectation of migrants, unlike your americaa where your worse then our unemployment n crime rate stats but they still take u in, cuz america is garbage waryaa, australia doesn't want those garbage.
If you reach America's shores, you get processed under the law and given a fair hearing. Nobody is arresting you and throwing you in an island in the Pacific. You're given a work permit while your case is decided. And even if you get rejected, you still get a work permit. For Somalis, we have a TPS (Temporary Protected Status) where you stay in America and work until Somalia gets better and get its acts together.
You used the word garbage, what is more garbage then basing immigration policy based on a national origin. It doesn't mean every Somali and South Sudanese is a bad person, why exclude them from the list if asylum seekers? That is evil. And remember they're basing it on their perception and interactions with the Somalis in Australia. You guys are a disaster.
