He argues America's immigration policy assumes newcomers automatically love the country, when in reality some just want to chant "gas the Jews," and that multiculturalism is a mixed-results experiment, not a guaranteed success.
- Tim on immigration: some people will assimilate and respect Western culture, others won't, and you'll have to deal with them chanting death threats.
- The opera house test—people chanting 'gas the Jews' outside it, contradicting immigration advocates' belief that everyone comes for Barbie and the Sphere.
- Tim questions whether people chanting 'gas the Jews' outside an opera house are being good Australians.
- This week hasn't been stellar for multiculturalism, though that doesn't mean the entire project is doomed.
- Immigration is like a marriage—it just won't work out quite as well as people thought when they were high tweeting about everyone wanting to see them at the Sphere.
- Tim questions whether there was a vetting test: asking immigrants if they're homebody types or prefer standing outside the opera house yelling 'gas the Jews.'
