Thread Name: BS: Refugee Clampdown
Subject: RE: BS: Refugee Clampdown
"So far your only input om refugees on this thread is to imply their dishonesty in pretending to be what they are not"

As ever you demonstrate your own stupidity. Demonstrate where I have accused immigrants of dishonesty. Even the UNHCR recognizes it is no easy task to differentiate between asylum seekers and economic migrants.
If you had the slightest grasp of the subject you would have labelled the thread asylum seeker clampdown.

The status of asylum seekers is clearly outlined in international agreements. namely The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, also known as the 1951 Refugee Convention, is a United Nations multilateral treaty that defines who is a refugee, and sets out the rights of individuals who are granted asylum and the responsibilities of nations that grant asylum.

Having worked in the south china sea at the tail end of the Vietnam war, I saw Vietnamese boat people firsthand. This does lead to a slight understanding and appreciation of the issues.
