MrSmith Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Often not an option for asylum seekers or refugees. Many people come here looking for work and a better future and do so with little by way of savings. So if they get here and the work and better future isn't available wouldn't it make sense to try somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No they should be sent back to their place of origin after being given some food and water. its a very selfish attitude to take, why bother giving em food and water too while were at it, or just dump em in the sea have done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
