The simple fact that most here seem to conveniently overlooks –
With very few exceptions, the point of embarkation for those persons collectively referred as boat people is Indonesia, and to get there (Indonesia), they had to have had in their possession valid identity and travel documents. That is, they didn’t trek by foot thousands of kilometres across often inhospitable terrain being hotly pursued hostile forces so that they could clandestinely enter Indonesia, where they went into hiding before seeking the assistance of a smuggler to get them to their final destination (Australia). No, if what we have been told by successive governments can be believed (and not even the Greens dispute it), the booking is prearranged and paid for before they leave there country of origin, they came in by Airbus or Boeing, pass through Indonesian Immigration, show their passport and obtain a temperate visitor’s visa, and then are picked by the tour guide (smuggler), housed in the open in some cheap hotel, and then when the boat is ready, board a bus to the dock when they hand over their documents before boarding.
So this then brooks the question, if they had a valid travel documents to begin, with why don’t they simply buy a ticket to Australia and then when they reach immigration, claim asylum. I mean it would be far simpler and cheaper than the Indonesian alternative.
As for those who overstay their visa, they are not entitled to any form of social security payment. So the only way they can support themselves by working illegally or reeling on charity from family and friends. Then when they get caught they are deported as illegal aliens. Furthermore if they then apply for mother visa well you know the answer to that one, and oddly enough these rules apply to everyone irrespective of your nationality, race or religion.
