It's easy to stop illegals. We don't do it in america because both parties are taking huge bribes from the illegal alien lobby.
Major nation has zero illegals coming in: Here?s how
Aug 5, 2014
Australia had a problem with illegal immigration.
It doesnt anymore.
In the past seven months, not one single illegal immigrant arrived on Australian shores. Not one single boat has docked on the Australian coastline.
Compare this to the preceding four year period: Over 50,000 illegal immigrants arrived on Australian shores. More than 800 boats. Upwards of 1,000 people drowned at sea. A budget blowout of more than $10.3 billion.
Those that arrived were given welcome hampers, mobile phones, plasma TVs, housing, medical and other household items all at a cost to the taxpayer.
And the overwhelming majority of those that came were not genuine refugees; many of them turned up in designer clothes and with mobile phones. They werent fleeing persecution; they just wanted a piece of Australias generous welfare state.
The Australian people silently revolted.
So, they threw out the government at the national election in September 2013. One of the incoming governments core election promises was to stop the boats. Immediately, Prime Minister Tony Abbott got to work.
As he couldnt stop the boats overnight, in those first few months, his government gave the illegal immigrants arriving to Australia two options: Youve arrived in Australia illegally. As a result, you will never get to stay here. You will never get to be an Australian. So, you have two options we will take you to a processing center, and you will wait in detention for your asylum application to be processed. Or we will fly you home for free.
In addition to this, the Abbott government got the Australian military to enforce its border protection, intercepting boats, turning them around, and even towing them back. And it applied pressure on Indonesia, by demanding it secure its own border.
Soon, the message got out, and the boats have stopped.
