Dear Lexi,
You are making the wild claims, you provide the evidence. Posted by Yabby, Friday, 2 December 2011 8:53:54 PM

One of the problems might be that some countries do not have very
securely designed passports, and those are hard to detect as forgeries. Ever watch those Border Protection programs ? They do seem to be aware of the tricks. Posted by Bazz, Friday, 2 December 2011 10:41:56 PM

Dear Yabby,
I'm not going to do your research for you. The claims are only wild in your mind. The articles have appeared in several newspapers on the subject. From The Australian, to The Herald Sun, and so on. Believe whatever you wish - but if you're interested in the bigger picture - Google the subject. I have nothing more to say to you. Posted by Lexi, Friday, 2 December 2011 10:43:43 PM

I've read those articles too Lexi, and your memory is flawed.
People come in on tourist visas or student visas and then claim asylum, but not false papers. If 60'000 came in on false papers, there would frankly be no point in having a customs post, it would be so useless at stopping anyone. Most of the 60'000 mentioned are actually visa overstayers who are taking a bit longer holiday then they should. They have passports and return tickets.

There are less than 5000 asylum seekers arriving by plane each year, of which typically about 40% get asylum.
The rest of the 50 000 are visa over stayers most of whom return home a little late. Unlike Lexi, I can actually provide a link: http://www.news.com.au/national/asylum-seekers-arrive-by-plane-not-boat/story-e6frfkvr-1225790981775 Posted by Shadow Minister, Saturday, 3 December 2011 4:47:04 AM

Good to see you back.
