" Do the crime, be prepared to do the time "

An old but very true saying, are people seriously saying that these people deserve special consideration? As in the majority of cases these people have entered the country illegally putting not only themselves & their children at risk but also the enforcment agency personnell.
Australia has very strict guidelines regarding refugee status etc. & why should those guidelines be compromised by a few people seeking to "rort" the system .
Reseach shows that these people have left the sanctuary of "safe" countries enroute to their ultimate destination of Australia.
I agree that it's very sad to see children held in custody by the authorities but what options are available to them, perhaps immediate deportation?
These people, almost without exception have left a "safe" place to get here, let them be like everyone else & apply for entry before arriving here.
