Poirot,
Another simple question. If they are genuine refugees why do they not fly here and enter the front door and then claim asylum? They would be far safer, save heaps of money and they would be free to go about their business while being assessed.

Tourist visas are readily available, we issue a couple of million each year

Poirot - What part of only 10 to 15% were checked properly, If they are not checked properly they can NOT truthfully be classified one way or the other.

Therefore the 90% figure is FALSE.

SPQR,
I have not validated this, but am told that some illegals do not destroy their travel docs. Before boarding the boat, they mail them back home for someone else to use.

Makes sense, why pay a forger for another lot? Only need a new photo.

SPQR, Philip S, Banjo,

Why don't you puerile men stop luxuriating in your ignorance and prejudice, and perhaps endeavour to educate yourself...

It's a big ask, I know. But consistently bleating garbage doesn't make it true.

Do yers reckon you can manage to read a document - and actually imbibe the information contained therein?...(I have my doubts)

Covering 2011 - 2012 (yes, numbers have increased since, but process still the same)

Poirot - Quote "Why don't you puerile men stop luxuriating in your ignorance and prejudice, and perhaps endeavour to educate yourself."

The same statement could be directed to you, if changed to the singular rather than plural.

If only 10 to 15% were checked properly how could you arrive at a REAL proportion IE 90%? It means 85 to 90% WERE NOT checked properly.

Poriot,

<< Why don't you puerile men stop luxuriating in your ignorance and prejudice...>>

Ridiculing your opponents does NOT answer their arguments!

And in case you were thinking you dodged the question, here it is again:
What evidence have you got that << nearly all these people are refugees and fleeing?>>

Sorry break the news to you that linking us to a site that talks of the numbers of “refugees” does not do it--it's not even a good attempt!

Sounds plausible, they are part of a very well organised scam. And they play us for all its worth,

But despite the best efforts the ABC & SBS & the Poirots' of this world to try and misinform and intimidate, people are beginning to waking up to it.

Cheers
