Taylor clarified last week that this would include tax-paying permanent residents.McLachlan said he is concerned this policy suite would create "two types of members in the community"."I have deep concerns, coming from a multicultural community, that we are going to create two types of members in the community going forward with this policy suite," McLachlan said."If you’re both contributing to the wealth of the nation and one is entitled to certain entitlements, you could have almost a form of a strata-ing of our society. And I'm not sure that’s the Australian way."Asked about the senator's remarks, Taylor denied his comments alienated migrants."No, it alienates the government that's got it wrong," he said."We think migration is incredibly important to this country and Australians are saying it must be fixed now."Taylor also defended his use of the term "mass migration", arguing Labor was exceeding its own immigration targets while failing to meet its housing goals.Opposition home affairs spokesperson Jonathon Duniam has defended Taylor's language, saying it reflected what he described as an immigration system that was "out of control"."If we focus on the language, we're never going to deal with the issues, we're never going to provider new Australians, immigrants to this country the services they need and deserve when they come here to make a new start of life and take advantage of living here," Duniam told the ABC's 7.30 program on Monday.He also argued restricting welfare to citizens wasn't about punishing tax-paying residents."This is not about punishment, but it is about trying to incentivise that pathway to Australian citizenship
