The Islamic Women's Welfare Association also says Muslims prefer to live close to their own people and Australia should consider how to "facilitate the purchase of homes for new migrants".In a submission to a federal multicultural inquiry, the association has urged the Government to give tax deductions to newly arrived migrants so they can visit relatives in their homelands."Migrants face a lot of sacrifices such as having to travel long distances to visit relatives, spending on communication costs, missing out on some events occurring in native countries etc," the submission said."This loss should be compensated by the Government in one way or the other to retain migrants in their country of adoption."

I have the RIGHT to visit my parents and my kids have the RIGHT to know their grandparents and the government and taxpayer should make it possible. What a joke.
