Actually, immigration has a simple solution.

As the Australians have shown: if you have the testicular fortitude to house illegal immigrants on desolate islands where they are safe from the oppression and starvation they claim to be fleeing, then very, very soon the flow dindles to a trickle.

Since most of the country-shoppers aren't real refugees - they just wanted to live in Sydney with an Australian passport and a hard currency.

The same applies in Europe.

Ah yes, I want to live and love in a world without starvation and violence, so of course I should happy to be on a desolate island with no hope for growth, love or life. That’s a paradise!

While we are at work on these kinds of solutions, I propose we just put immigrants in cryogenic sleep. It’s probably better than I definitely holding people on desolate islands.

Also the irony is rich, given than Australia was the desolate place to dump criminals.

Actually, the question to ask is - why did the immigrants risk their lives in dangerous boats whilst passing the sanctuary of Indonesia?

But we know why. Which is why mass immigration turned out to be so easy for the Australians to solve.

If your idea of 'solving problems' gets any more wide adoption, then I fear for the world.

Out of sight, out of mind. Put them on paradise islands, in shithole camps, violate some basic human rights. The islanders can be capo's. A true win-win.. except for the refugees, then.

testicular thinking, indeed
