What happens if an asylum seeker arrives in the country?

In an attempt to control the overwhelming numbers of people seeking asylum in Australia through dangerous methods, such as the people arriving by boat. In a recent move the Gillard Government has made a deal with the Malaysian Government where they will be sent to Malaysia upon arrival. Gillard condemned the Christmas island process and the deal with Nauru saying that Nauru was not a signatory of the Human Rights convention... though neither is Malaysia. Not all asylum seekers go through this process however. Only those whom do not formally apply for asylum and attempt to 'jump' to the front of the line. Other asylum seekers whom do legally seek refuge are given visas where they are able to stay in Australia. Refer to the Australian Government website for more information.

How do asylum seekers affect Australia?

i personally don't have a problem with this. i go to school, and lately we have been learning about this. basically the issue is they 'take up our space'. but think about it, if they didnt leave their country, they could be killed. they're only coming here to protect their lives, just remember, we have it so good here in australia. in some countries 12 year old girls are stoned to death for the 'crime' of having been gang raped. it absolutely shocking! and if you steal, or decide not to vote for the military government, your hand may be chopped off. its discusting, it really is. so please remember that asylum seekers are only here for their safety, and not because they want to come to australia, its more because they have to. thankyou, - naomi. good job naomi Not so simple Naomi. These asylum seekers pass though several 'safe' countries where they can claim asylum, but they choose Australia because they think we are a soft touch and will let anyone in. If they are truly afraid for their safety then they should not be choosing where they head for, but stopping where it is safest and nearest. The majority of those who have sought asylum in Australia in recent years have been adult males from countries where Australian troops are fighting to restore democracy and law and order. It is thought that these men should stay in their own countries and join the fight to improve their own countries and living standards rather than abandon them. Most are economic migrants, not political prisoners, they choose Australia instead of seeking asylum in their nearest 'safe country' which is the accepted law of seeking asylum. The problem with the demographics of recent asylum seekers in Australia is they come from middle-eastern cultures which do not encourage integration with western cultures. Non-integration of these people is becoming a problem in parts of Sydney for example. Those who have been persecuted in their countries have been traditionally welcomed into Australia in the past, however the sheer volume of arrivals of men from Islamic countries into Australia as 'asylum seekers' and their recent violent behaviour and rioting while in detention has stretched the tolerance and good will of the Australian people for this category of migrant. In short, Australians are fed up with them.

What are synonyms of refugee?

A refugee can be referred to as an asylum seekertoo. For many obvious reasons there is in fact no apparent difference of treatment between refugees and asylum seekers. Refugees are victims of persecution who have been recognised as fitting the definition of a refugee contained in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. For some of the world's refugee population it is either impractical or impossible to go first to a neighbouring country and then to seek resettlement from there. This could be because the neighbouring countries are not signatories to the international laws that would ensure their protection in these countries. In these cases, individuals may choose to try to go directly to a country, such as Australia or the UK, where they can seek protection. Such people are called asylum seekers.

What are peoples opinions of asylum seekers in the UK?

There is deep skepticism against asylum seekers. On the one hand everyone can symphatise with genuine asylum seekers. But most people feel that this system being abused, that most asylum applicants are merely economic migrants that use the system to live in the UK when they would otherwise not qualify for an entry visa. The fact is that most asylum claims are denied because the vast majority are not able to prove their case. And when asylum is denied, they dont leave the country and work illegally in the UK (which is a privilege granted by legal residency and they dont pay into the NIS). So they go from place to place working illegally and making sure they DO NOT carry their passport or have it readily accessible where they live. In the UK, immigration is required to have the passport of the person they are trying to deport, the failed asylum seekers, knowing this rule, purposefully hide their passport so that if caught, they will be released and not deported. It is things like this that creates a negative impression of asylum seekers.
