Frank Chung at News.com.au has published a startling report on the huge increase in migrants attempting to claim asylum.
“As of July 31, there were 98,979 people whose protection visa application had been denied but were yet to be deported while 27,100 were awaiting a decision, according to the Department of Home Affairs”, Chung reported.
Former senior immigration bureacrat Abul Rizvi told Chung that “there’s an increasing number of student visa holders applying for asylum”, and that “we want to at least stabilise it, otherwise you end up with a massive underclass and it impacts social cohesion, and eventually you get some strongman leader like Trump saying, ‘I’m going to fix it’”,
