I would guess a razor wire enclosed tent city would be the way, just as it is in other places, & should be here now. Definitely no resettlement, & return as soon as possible. Plenty of room up the cape after all.

Hell we could even see that wonderful organisation, the UN spending some money here for a change, supporting them. Nah I'm kidding myself aren't I.

Sam Jandwich,
You believe that's it's "inevitable" that people who cannot live in their birthplace will come to countries with majority White European populations and you are not willing to stop them because White people are born "privileged"?
White and North East Asian countries are well off because only we believe in ideas such as justice, charity, tolerance and compassion enough to put them into our legal codes and demand certain standards of behaviour from our citizens, on that basis alone we deserve all these "privileges" and we deserve to have the rights we believe in protected.
Get real, Haiti is a dump because of it's full of Africans, after the earthquake their men folk trampled and beat back women and children and stole all the donated food for themselves. How did the Japanese respond after a far more severe quake and a nuclear emergency to boot?
Race is real and it matters, why would you give up all the goodness, justice, intelligence and understanding contained in your own race simply because you can't stand the sight of suffering Brown people who have no concept of and no interest in maintaining such things?

*All refugees have to cross borders and if they have to cross more than one border they are still refugees.*

Well yes Marylin, economic refugees, just like the millions of
Mexicans pouring into USA, searching for a more prosperous life.
The present Convention gives them all the loopholes in the world to
do exactly that

@ Hasbeen: "I would guess a razor wire enclosed tent city would be the way, just as it is in other places, & should be here now. Definitely no resettlement, & return as soon as possible. Plenty of room up the cape after all."

I agree except I would rather see all the peoples of Australia inside. Have we learned nothing of the repugnance of Germany 60+ years ago ?

That aside, I think it inevitable that we will see 100's of thousands. Of course there will be carnage and death and that's a sad thing because the greed of the locals is breathtaking and endless.

"Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself. - Robert Ingersoll"

There has never been any law that says refugees have to stay in the first country, exactly the opposite.

Why would the UN spend money here? The UNHCR is entirely dependent on fees from countries who support refugees, not the other way around.

The UNHCR does not protect refugees, the do not have a country to protect them in.
