Australian economy heading for 'scarily fast' fall: analysts

To Australia's advantage, they do not have an open ended immigration policy allowing anyone to come in as they please.

If the US was surrounded by water, we wouldn't either.

I wasn't talking about the ease of being an illegal immigrant, I was referring to government policy and the publics attitude towards illegal immigrants. Once someone is discovered to be there illegally, they are rounded up and shipped back to Shitkickerstan or wherever else they are from. Even if a kid is born in Australia, unless one of the parents is a citizen they too are shipped back. Nothing to do with water. lol

That's because you don't have to deal with millions of illegals. It's very easy to round up and deport

a few thousand here and there.

I think the Austrailian PM also made a statement a few months ago in regards to legal immigrants there too.

To the tune of "If you don't like it here, if you don't like our ways, get out"

Caused quite a bit of controversy

Agreed.

The UK is just as strict on illegal immigrants. It is very hard for anyone to come to Australia, setup shop and function there for years and years without being detected and deported. Once deported the chance of coming back without a visa is almost zero. Thanks to the surrounding water

The UK's (perceived) immigration problem from what I remember was not about people who were actually there illegally - it was about manipulation of the asylum system. Specifically - the huge migration of people that took place during and after the Balkans and Iraq wars.
