You do realise that seeking asylum is LEGAL right?
I must stress to you, that those people who are granted asylum while in detention are NOT:
Trespassers, queue jumpers, illegal immigrants, criminals, liars, thieves, job stealers, shysters, conmen, aliens, demons, zombies, evil in any way...
They are in fact quite within their rights to seek asylum in Australia and if they are granted asylum are LEGAL immigrants to this country, because they are refugees and have been recognised as such.
So therefore, they are not 'taking the place' of a legally allowed immigrant, they ARE a legally allowed immigrant. Moreover, the idea that these people, who by the government's own admission, considering they granted them asylum, are desperately in need of relocation, they are well and truly entitled to be placed ahead of people less in need. It's the same way they admit patients with gaping neck wounds ahead of the guy with the stubbed toe...
