Meanwhile in Australia:
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison takes hard line: 157 sent to Nauru
From which we read:
ALL the 157 people, including 50 children, who left India almost six weeks ago on a people-smuggler’s boat will arrive at the Nauru asylum-seeker camp today from the Curtin detention centre in Western Australia after refusing to see Indian consular officials.
The Abbott government decided to send all those from the boat late yesterday to the Pacific nation’s detention centre because they decided not to meet Indian government officials after receiving advice from refugee advocates.
The boatload of people, mainly Tamils who had fled Sri Lanka to India, now face months on Nauru while their asylum claims are processed and the prospect of being sent back to Sri Lanka if they fail to qualify as refugees.
A self-selected program of migration is not the way this can ever work. The contrast between the US and Australia is astonishing, but you would be hard pressed to say the US has it right and Australia has it wrong.
