More compensation, page-2

At potentially $150,000 per detainee nobody is a real winner. That's $37,500 per year for four fairly unpleasant years.

I am assuming they are still detained because they have been assessed to be illegal economic immigrants, not genuine refugees.

They could start pretty good lives back in their birth countries with that sort of money. Maybe the settlement can condition that?

Seems like a pragmatic resolution to me if possible and I doubt that it sets a dangerous precedent.
