visa overstayers once caught are put on the next plane out, they don't get to give a cock and bull story and then spend the rest of their lives on the dole living in public housing.
Visa overstayers really cost us next to nothing compared to asyllum seekers, who when who have their claims refused tie up the legal system with appeal after appeal, all at no cost to them??
Maybe they should pay their own legal appeals, after all they can stump up 10K for a boat ride??
really? you sure about that? we have half the immigration department dedicated to finding and catching them, surely that costs money, we detain them , more money, feed them, more money, we provide legal aid for those that require it, more money, we pay to fly them out , more money ....
for every 10 asylum seekers, we have 100 illegal overstayers .... costs may not add up per person, but add ten times the people and suddenly it's not peanuts any more.
