The Mafia, which are illegal.

The wealthy, who can make "cash donations", which are illegal...

Well that's probably how the people smugglers sell it to their customers.

"You can get into Australia by pretending your're a refugee. If they find you out,you can take it to the courts, which will take years. In the meantime you can get a job, get married, have a few kids, and they won't have the heart to deport you."

Or you can tell them you are a au pair to a Liberal Party offical or a friend of the minister and the minster will be there in a second to approve your extended stay

I’m sorry to say it but it’s true, Australians are naive on this topic

They are just buying time and the Au taxpayer is paying the bill

Amendments to the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 in 1986 meant that not all children born in Australia would automatically have citizenship conferred upon them. The requirement for new citizens to renounce other allegiances was also deleted. This renunciation was never legally enforceable and, as some countries do not allow their citizens to divest themselves of their citizenship through renunciation, some migrants could become dual-Australian citizens. Removing the renunciation requirement formalised the toleration of migrants in this situation (but still did not allow Australians migrating overseas to become dual citizens).

Cause they are illegal  immigrants, their kids are not Au citizens

As much as I feel sorry for them, they came here illegally, they were told in the first place, they were not refugees, they have now been told this SEVEN times and they still refuse to accept this decision  ..... They have cost the Au taxpayer millions of dollars in legal fees, its time for them to go back home and apply through the LEGAL channels to migrate to Au, if they still wish to do so

Begs the question - why do we - as taxpayers - support this.

We have Aussies to support.
