They call them refugees but a big point of contention is often they migrate half way across the world and pay for a people smuggler, when 25000 genuine refugees were accepted that didn't try to push their way in. This leaves a black mark against your name and takes away the chance from a genuine refugee that couldn't afford to migrate and pay a smuggler to get asylum.

Can we take more? probably.

Should we let people that can afford to migrate to Indonesia and pay a people smugger to jump the queue get preference? Hell no.
