Do you believe even one of those refugees is genuinely in fear of their lives? If so, the choice between indefinite imprisonment and death is no choice at all. Also, what else do we call a camp in which people are concentrated because of their socioeconomic conditions?You completely disregard the blatantly obvious. If you dont have detention centres then all the economic migrants will likely never be deported and as such the numbers departing for Australia will increase dramatically (see what happened after Rudd scrapped Howard's policies). I remember chuckling at someone on here quoting a Crikey article saying that it wouldnt result in more illegal immigrants attempting to come to Australia. Laughably wrong.
That is effectively open floodgates.
NB it is pathetic to call them concentration camps, the illegal immigrants are free to leave whenever they want.
