time for australia to harden up on boat people, page-38

Hi Ntaylor,

You said."Is this some form of snobbery - if you can come by plane then we don't mind so much."


I am pretty sure they come in to Australia by plane legally as tourist AFTER security checks ,passport and visa.

They then over stay their visa allocated time.

They don't then get medi-care card , the dole, old age pension or any other benefit or hand out.

They would have to have friends here to help them out.

If they get caught they are sent out of Australia with no fuss or Fanfare.

I have no problem with that.

Very different to boat people.

Not snobbery, that never entered my head.

cheers,
