I suppose that it all depends on what you class as being classed as welfare
Boat people are not welfare recipients"
KP is that because they are so wealthy afterall they can afford around the world airfares, $50,000 smuggler tickets etc?
Even though they are loaded I think you'll find they collect a ton of welfare including free accomodation, food, medical, dental etc and that's even before they sign up for the usual loosers allowances like the dole, faked sickness benefits etc
