Yes, if they don't meet the local requirements or go through the due process required as is by so many wanting to come to Australia.

Sky News host Peta Credlin says no one gets to come to Australia illegally on a boat, “run the gauntlet of our legal system”, get knocked back and stay. “If we start bending the rules, we send a message to people smugglers that you just wear down the legal system here, delay long enough to have children in Australia, and therein lies your ticket to stay.” Her remarks come after a plane, late on Thursday night, deporting two Sri Lankans and their children back to their country was forced to land in Darwin due to a court injunction in the latest bid to allow this family to stay. “There is nothing to stop this family returning to Sri Lankan and applying to come, like everyone else, the right way.” “To do otherwise breaches the very fundamentals of our border protection regime that the Coalition has only managed to put back together after the onslaught, by people smugglers, and 50,000 illegal arrivals, during the Rudd-Gillard years.”

Apparently they put in 7 appeals and each one was rejected

Interesting link

I cant work out why they were allowed to stay here for so long , also why they were permitted to work?  Apparently the kids are not Au citizens, so that's not going to help their case

I think they should stay. If they were going to deport them it should have been done a long time ago. 2 of their children were born here dad works, they have blended in to their remote small central Qld community. It's too late now. IMO

[icyfroth]

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."

They couldn't deport them until ALL the avenues of appeal had been exhausted and that can take quite a few years.  Their kids are not Au citizens atm

There is no room for ' emotions ' in the LAW of our country.

The emotional desire to cancel our LAW  in favour of some - gives others - an opportunity.

It should not happen - we have Laws for a reason - no exemptions.

Do it right - or don't do it at all.
