Where on earth is Sri Lanka?? (formerly Ceylon)
Ezra Levant
Here’s a warning for bogus Tamil “refugees” made by the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, just before she called an election last month:
“Do not pay a people smuggler, do not risk your life, only to arrive in Australian waters and find that you are far, far more likely than anything else to be quickly sent home by plane.”
Gillard does more than just talk tough to Tamil gatecrashers.
Australia is now in negotiations with East Timor, New Zealand and the United Nations about setting up a “regional processing centre” where intercepted ships will be taken.
“Arriving by boat would just be a ticket back to the regional processing centre,” warned Gillard.
Right now, refugee applicants are processed on a remote Australian island called Christmas Island, where they’re held until their cases are heard.
Gillard wants to go one better — outsource the job to other countries. Why not?
Her plan is pretty simple. If someone’s refugee claim was rejected, they’d be sent home. And if a refugee claim were found legitimate, that refugee would be resettled — but in a safe third country, NOT necessarily in Australia.
There are plenty of friendly countries in (THEIR OWN) neighbourhood where Tamils don’t have to worry about being “picked on”… as they “claim” they are in Sri Lanka.
Australia would pay those countries to resettle Tamils — a lot cheaper than giving them five-star treatment in Australia. They’ll take some, sure. But they’ll choose which ones.
Australia is serious about stopping bogus immigrants. Which makes sense for a big island just a short boat trip from China, India and Indonesia.
Warning videos
Australia has produced videos in languages such as Tamil and Arabic, warning fake refugees from around the world not to risk their lives — and waste their money — paying criminals to smuggle them ashore.
Oh, by the way: (Prime Minister) Gillard is with the Labour Party — they’re the “soft-on-immigration party”.
Other than immigration lawyers, WHO could complain about Australia’s approach? Surely not true refugees. They will be resettled somewhere they won’t be hurt — just not necessarily in Australia.
And that’s what these Tamils claim they want — just to get away from Sri Lanka. Beggars can’t be choosers.
Bogus refugees — that is the LIARS — will be sent back to where they came from. News reports from British Columbia put the cost, so far, of handling Canada’s 492 Tamil gate-crashers at $22 million — covering everything from FREE telephone calls back to Sri Lanka to FREE lawyers to FREE dental care.
Taxpaying, law-abiding Canadian citizens don’t even get free dental care…. in case you’d forgotten.
These Tamils have been ashore for TWO WEEKS, and they’ve already cost us $22 million. That’s $45,000 each — and that’s BEFORE they sign up for (free) welfare, (free) child benefits and all other (free) social services they’re legally entitled to… for the years it takes UNTIL they’re processed.
Who among us wouldn’t rather give a country like India or Thailand $20,000 a head to resettle genuine Tamil refugees there? And as to the fake refugees, even a $1,000 plane ticket to ship them straight home is a bargain.
Right now, they’re EACH costing us more than $1,000 a day in Canada.
The fact is, if we followed the Australian plan, once word got out that Canada wasn’t the world’s sucker anymore, there wouldn’t be that many gate-crashing boats to deal with. There would be no point in paying a smuggler to make the long journey to Canada if you knew you’d never get to set foot in Canada — you’d be taken to an offshore processing centre, and, at best, wind up in a third country.
Like Canada, … Australia is a friendly, generous country BUILT BY SETTLERS (not immigrants!). They love their neighbours and are quick to help, much like they did after the 2004 tsunami.

BUT (Australia and Canada) know the difference between giving something and having something stolen. Even Australia’s left-wing party knows it… which tells you how bad things are. -Source and here. (For emphasis, capitalized words, bold print and parenthesis by ELN editor)
