Dear Sir/Madam,
It is long overdue to repatriate those who attempted to jump the queue by arriving by boat.
I have worked for the Refugee Migrant Service as a Volunteer in New Zealand, and understand the difference between true Refugees and those who claim to be Refugees arriving by boat after paying large amounts of money.
New Zealand was accepting Refugees from Thai Refugee Camps (some had been waiting 8 years for placement in countries accepting Refugees).
In fairness to bone fide Refugees the only true way is to accept those who have been assessed as real Refugees and have waited patiently to be resettled.
It is only fair that any Refugees come from those camps rather than those who try to jump the queue due to the fact they can pay the Illegal Boat skipper syndicates.
Those who want to choose a more lucrative location should be denied access.
In Fairness to real refugees waiting for placement.
C Frost
