Almost 2,200 Arrivals In Just 20 Days

And the cost just goes up and up and up and we  are paying for our open borders.... A huge labor FAIL

Two more illegal boat arrivals, with a total of over 100 people on board, mean almost 2,200 people have arrived on illegal boats so far this month, an average of over 100 people a day, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Scott Morrison and Shadow Minister for Justice, Customs and Border Protection, Michael Keenan said today.

"These latest illegal arrivals continue the record rate of boats under Julia Gillard, which have seen an average of over 100 people arrive every day this month," Mr Morrison said.

"Labor's failed policies once again have resulted in hundreds of people being housed in tents on Christmas Island as detention centres across the country fill to overflowing.

"The last time this many people were in tents on Christmas Island was just before the riots there in 2011. Labor's policies on our borders result in a cyclical pattern of failure of more boat arrivals and more repeated failure of the past.

"This is the track record of Julia Gillard. Australians can't afford three more years of her government's cost, chaos and tragedy on our borders.

"The Coalition will break Labor's cycle of failure on our borders by restoring the proven policies and resolve necessary to stop the boats," Mr Morrison said.

Mr Keenan said: “531 boats carrying over 34,000 people have now arrived since the last election when Labor promised the Australian people that they would regain control of our borders and stop the boats from coming.

“Under Julia Gillard there have been more illegal boat arrivals than under any other Australian Prime Minister in our entire history.

“How can the Australian people believe the Gillard Government when they say that they will stop the boats when all they have done is sit on their hands and use their Malaysia Swap Deal as an excuse to do nothing – despite their own expert panel saying it wouldn’t work in its current form.

“In the first four days of this month we had nearly 900 people arrive by boat, which is more than the entire quota for the Malaysia Swap Deal.

“The Australian people are sick of excuses – they need a government that will implement the tough border protection measures to put an end to this evil trade,” Mr Keenan said.

Check the 1% you stated;

 I could correct you  but I'll leave that to you.

Accuracy is important.

Guess maths was not your forte so I'll help you out.

1% of our population is   230,000  ;not 29,400 (give or take about 200,00)

I believe Australia should stop the $millions in aid we so kindly give Indonesia & use  that money to look after all these boat people.

Take the sugar off the table, remove family reunion, re introduce TPS's with stricter guidelines & use our navy to turn the flotillas around & back away from the old UN agreement that was only supposed to be tempory at the time.

We can't keep this fiasco up, criminals, mass murderers & all other kinds of shady criminal types are flooding in.

Now we have breakouts assisted by crims to fly to Cairns.

The whole sorry mess was brought on by Labor & it will be very hard to put the genie back in the bottle.

Not a word from Labor & it's going from bad to worse every day, if that's possible. They cry in Parliament but do nothing  to fix this massive failure they created.

Before all the bleeding hearts start: this is about Border Security not what we have now. Pay the smuggler & live on welfare for the rest o f your life whilst having up to 14 children to live on.

Labor will be punished for this & they know it. Gillard will resign as soon as the election is over so she will leave all this catastrophic mess for others to clean up.
