I was talking about legal immigrants. If you're caught illegally in Australia you're basically immediately deported even if you've managed to stay in the country illegally for many years. There were some notorious cases of people being deported after 20 years in the country (not sure if the outcry from their supporters actually stopped any deportation)... Sweden is almost as dacronian. It is known to deport parents of children born in Sweden (who are legally Swedish citizens) because they were illegally in the country.

Children born in Sweden are not Swedish citizens unless at least one of the parents are Swedish citizens.
But they can become Swedish citizens easily: https://www.migrationsverket.se/English/Private-individuals/...
