Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
Deepa the migrant breaks record for entitlement, plays world’s smallest violin for herself
Prepare to have your heartstrings tugged.
Indian migrant Deepa, upon assessing her finances, came to the measured conclusion that she wasn’t getting enough free welfare cash from the Australian government, so she took her tale of woe to The Guardian, which dutifully reprinted it as a microcosm of the plight of all migrants who don’t get enough welfare cash as well as a case study in the ramifications of Opposition leader Angus Taylor’s policy prescriptions who doesn’t support giving migrants more welfare cash on account of his bigotry.
From an article titled “Angus Taylor’s claim support is a ‘privilege of citizenship’ leaves Deepa and others with an impossible choice,” via The Guardian (emphasis added):
When Deepa Chaudhary’s newborn slept, she used the time to find out what support she could get as a permanent resident in Australia. The answer was: not very much.
Chaudhary moved here from India four years ago and worked until her baby was born in January last year. She describes the stress and mental health issues of being a new mother in Australia.
“You’re supposed to get a maternity payment, but I didn’t meet the residency test so I didn’t get it,” she says. She does get the Family Tax Benefit now*.
*Oh, so Deepa is getting government welfare, actually, which would seem to undermine the entire premise of this story.
What are we crying about, then?
It’s never enough with these people.

Continuing:
In his budget reply speech, the opposition leader, Angus Taylor, said people got welfare “as soon as they arrive” in Australia.
But refugees, international students, those on temporary visas and permanent residents all face various waits for – and varying access to – any government help at all.
For example, there’s a four-year wait for the parenting payment, and 10 years for disability support…
Taylor used the popular rightwing slogan “mass migration” three times in his speech, in which he pledged to slash immigration and strip non-citizens’ access to supports, including the national disability insurance scheme, jobseeker, youth allowance and the Family Tax Benefit.
The speech prompted Barnaby Joyce – the former Nationals leader who defected to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation – to thank the Coalition “for basically reading off the One Nation script”.
About one in three people living in Australia were born overseas**.
**Another term for that might be “foreigner” or “carpetbagger.”

Continuing:
Two of Australia’s biggest groups of immigrants are from China (732,000 people) and India (more than 970,000 people), neither of which allow dual citizenship (although Indians can get an overseas citizen registration)…
Migrants wanting to become an Australian citizen also have to give up their homeland citizenship. That could make it harder to visit friends and family, and could rob the new citizen of property, investments and pensions in their homeland. In many countries non-citizens cannot own property or assets and won’t get pensions.
Chaudhary says it would be an emotional and economic blow to give up her Indian citizenship.
“I have my roots there. I have my parents there. My husband has his parents there. We have ancestral property, houses, land. We’d have to give that up.”
To summarize, Indian law, to which Deepa is subject because she’s an Indian and not Australian, dictates that Deepa would be forced to give up her Indian citizenship if and when she assumes Australian citizenship for the purposes of claiming more welfare benefits that she feels entitled to for some reason.
The no-dual-citizenship law is Indian, yet The Guardian deceptively tries to frame it as some kind of imposition by the Australian authorities to discriminate against precious migrant angelcakes who just want to honestly leech off of the public dole while also retaining all of their overseas assets.

If you squint, you can make out what looks to be one or two caucasoids in the crowd, or at least non-Indians.
