I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I don't agree with those so far.

A true refugee would get up and flee his or her country without worrying about withdrawing money and stuff like that. True refugees are in the camps and have nothing to their name bar a few pieces of clothing. If these "so called" refugees really needed to get out of the country, they would not be worrying about getting their money.

Another point... why do these people tear their papers up at Indonesia so that once they do get here? They must be hiding something if they don't want to keep their identity, otherwise why hide who you are. If you have nothing to hide you have no reason to do this. One guy who was one of these "so called" refugees actually said that he couldn't return to his country as he would be thrown in jail. Why because he committed crimes. Another person who is living here illegally has been traced to have connections to Bin Laden and is suspected of being part of bombings overseas. Come on, do we really want these kinds of people here???

Don't get me wrong, I'm not racist, but I think that genuine people should be allowed here. Why should these people be allowed to jump the queue when those real refugees with no money are in the camps waiting. These queue jumpers are only taking their place.

I think it's about time we took a stand on this. We don't have jobs for people as it is, where can we find jobs for people who pay to come here and have an unknown past.

OK... I do agree that people could come into the country from anywhere (forged passport, etc). And there should be checks on this kind of thing too.

And true, some of these people are genuine. But if they are, why should they be allowed to jump the queue just because they have money. That's like supporting the rich getting tax quirks over working-class people. If they are genuine, then they should go through the same process as all the refugees in the camps, those that don't have money. You shouldn't be able to buy your way in.

I'm sure people will disagree with me, but I have my view just like you guys do. I just think genuine people should be allowed, not just anyone.
