there are armies of ngos and immigration lawyers in every country whose life work is to make sure that people don't get deported throw in something like the Flores agreement and you can see why the focus is there

what should be done with people like this

People like whom?

asylees? well frankly starting the question there is to obfuscate the structural factors that predicate their arrival, but at a MINIMUM they should be processed (efficiently) onshore, subject to Australian judicial process and not tortured in indefinite detention. basic shit.

effectively "stateless people" should be accepted into the country by default To become a stateless person you would have to: Make an asylum claim that is rejected. Have your home country say no thanks to your return. am I missing something here?
