Maybe we need to google the words
refugee and
illegal immigrant
this issue is multi-factorial
1. the people making the money are not the ones in detention
2. many are often i imagine aliens of some sort in there own country
i.e. civil war, destroyed records office, massive inflation
3. they often sold everything to get here
4. and there country of origin often says
a. we dont know who they are
b. where are there official papers .. sorry dropped them when i swam the last 10km
c. they are not "refugees" from anything .. may or may not be true ..
d. they may be "criminals" wrongly or right in their country
e. there country will not pay to have them returned, which becomes moot when you consider costs after even 6 months in detention
f. they have not entered through the correct channels which we all know can be subjective, time-wasting and anal .. but they are the channels until they change
Non-landlocked countries have the option of a wall and a firm "no"
Not so easy for Australia when they have floated on a barrel the last 80km and would need to be taken to international waters .. to where? at whose cost? etc ..
