Welcome To Australia Children Please Proceed To Jail

Australia seems to have something in common with Japan.  They like the Japanese have a poor human rights record when it comes to those seeking asylum or refugee status.  They just don't want you.  It doesn't matter if there is a legitimate case for asylum or being granted refugee status both governments will send you back to your country of origin no matter that you could
face retribution from that government.   Your human rights aren't important.  Keeping these countries homogenous is.  Its not only adults who are held in these so called detention centers (jail) but children as well.


Australia's immigration minister has strongly defended his government's policy of detaining asylum-seeker children in camps, saying it is "effective" in deterring others from boarding boats destined for its shores.
Scott Morrison, who was fronting an Australian Human Rights Commission inquiry into children in detention, said on Friday his country's tough immigration policies were helping prevent asylum-seekers from dying during the perilous boat journey from Asia.
 Offshore centres 
But children held on offshore facilities on Christmas Island and Nauru who arrived after July 19, 2013 are excluded under Australia's tough immigration policy.
Under the policy, the asylum-seekers are prevented from being resettled in Australia regardless of whether they are judged to be genuine refugees.
They are instead kept at the offshore centres for processing or resettlement.
Australia previously had a whites only immigration policy.  Does that remind you of another country?
