Illegals and Failed Asylum Seekers

[mickd1961]

A lad that works for me stayed in Australia after his visa expired.

He was eventually caught, thrown in jail and then deported at his own expense.

He also had to leave behind the personal assets that he’d started to build up over there.

There was no messing about by Aussie authorities, he was well treated and very much got the “hard luck mate” from those that dealt with him but he was gone.

This is the way it should work.

What gets me is when the illegal immigration gets a mention (or the story is amplified) when or during a time the gov is facing bad press.. ahem the 2nd jobs row. Yes it’s been going on but is it also used to divert attention away? I’m surprised there isn’t a separate thread on this and yes Labour are also not innocent on this and also the sleaze row vote. Typical.

I like the suggestion you’ve made mick regarding the illegal immigration, but i’d go further in isolating them off to a remote island and get the message out that you cannot enter illegally.

That said, i’m not against immigration but we do always see images of men, men only. I’m sure amongst these are some that are innocent. I’d rather see a ‘family’ come over/apply than individual men. As 123 pointed out, they can benefit the economy. There is a lot we don’t know and why isn’t there a pursuit in finding the people smugglers/traffickers? Like ban sales of dinghies in france? Surely a licence would be needed?

Back to the sleaze. It’s about time we had a new law in place ‘The National Interest Act’ which criminalises sleaze and corruption and one that can override certain rules that don’t have the national interest at heart. This is a vast area I know and i’ve only been thinking this the other day on how it could be used to nationalise certain utilities that don’t play ball. I probably have not summed my idea up well, but any new potential government is missing this opportunity to get into power.
