Lexi pay attention:
I am talking about the some thousands of asylum seekers who are brought
into Australia each year from the UN list.

Please read carefully.

Its a pity a few more did not 'fear' before Britian became broken, or France or Germany. Then again the massive social problems are just part of our imagination. Tell that to the woman around Sydney that were raped leading up to the Cronulla riots. Some people just don't get it. The greatest fear mongers of our day are the global warming alarmist seeing if they can out do each other with their doomsday prophecies.

Dear Bazz,

Please provide your evidence.

cont'd ...

What you're talking about is legitimate arrivals -
who arrive on legitimate tourist, business, and
other visas. They are less likely to be genuine
refugees compared to those of the boat people -
who have proven to be 85-90% genuine refugees.

Plane people live in the community, not in detention
centres and they're allowed to work. Boat people
represent just a small fraction of our refugee intake
and they're the ones that are vilified by our politicians.

There's a big difference between plane people and boat
people.

Surely you know Lexi about the people approved by the UNHCR as refugees
who are brought to Australia every year ?

I think it is about 15,000. Something like that.
I can't be bothered doing the search for you, just try the immigration
web site, I am sure it will be there.
Thats the queue I was talking about at the foot of the stairs to the
aircraft bringing them to Australia.
That is the queue the boat people won't wait on.
You must surely have heard the saying "queue jumpers" ?
Well they are the boat people, got it ?

Dear Bazz,

We seem to be talking at cross-purposes here.
I tried to point out to you the difference
between plane people and boat people and the
way they're treated. Boat people are not
illegal. They are entitled to seek asylum.
Australia has signed an agreement to that effect.
They are entitled to have their cases assessed and
heard in court. How can they be "queue jumpers,"
when their cases have not even been presented or heard.
They are fleeing persecution and are entitled to seek
asylum and have their cases heard.
