What happens when refugees when they come to Australia?

This is a very brief reply due to the many issues involved. Each person is assessed individually for genuineness before being granted or refused refugee status. Lengthy delays may occur due to the often missing information that needs verification, or, the originating country is in a recuperative or transitional state where people are no longer seen as needing refugee status. There are many more factors involved, and requirements and situations may change frequently. Those that are denied refugee status are usually repatriated to their country of origin or from where they last came from. Many are held in detention centres, and many are allowed to be free during the their assessments, depending on how they arrived, applied, and other reasons. Many people who claim refugee status that arrive or overstay illegally within Another Country are economic refugees. They are people with no other reason to leave their country other than for lifestyle or monetary reasons. If this were not strictly controlled, USA, Europe, Australia and many other countries would soon become overwhelmed simply by sheer numbers, and those with criminal and terrorist intentions would not be screened out.
