"There are so many reasons to jump the immigration queue and come over here by boat, the benefits are outrageous".
Officially, under both parties, these numbers are way, way waayyyy under 5%. Now that might be a problem with naff processing (I don't know), but genuine asylum seekers shouldn't be thrown in with that immigration argument.
.
Here we go again with this argument, 5% under sounds good and makes me at peace with this whole thing, but when a few bad immigration detainees get together and set fire to detention complex buildings, refuse to come down off roofs, police guards and watches occuring costing millions upon millions, then get a visa a result. Others arriving by boat then have no accomodation left as a result, the remainder with no place to go get $400 a day hotel stays waiting for their immigratations to process. Now some get $1,000,000 + as a result of stress, plus free housing, geez will someone in the government wake up, this is big money from us taxpayers! 5% or not, its enough to cost big $$$$$ to everyone of us.
