Do what my nation does, with illegal arrivals. Tell them they can either head back to where they came from (and we’ll pay for it, just to be nice) or they can get parked in indefinite detention in Papua New Guinea or Nauru and they’ll be stuck there for however long it takes to weed through all their lies and deceit and track down who they really are back home.

And then we’ll decide if they’re a true refugee or not. If they are a true refugee – great. You get to claim asylum in Papua New Guinea or Nauru. They are both places that are safe and far removed from the troubles in your homeland. Or, if they are assessed as not being a refugee (the vast majority) then they are sent packing.

There’s a reason why the people smugglers don’t bother sending illegals our way anymore – everyone knows they’ll never, ever, ever get into Australia, no matter what their circumstances are. If you want to seek asylum with us – fine. Go to the nearest UN camp and register and prove to them first that you need asylum. Then wait for us to vet you ourselves – and then you get invited to come here.

These people are extremely self entitled. There is absolutely no justification for any of them to demand asylum in Austria. It is not the nearest safe nation for them, by any stretch of the imagination. Lock them up, prove who they really are and that they are not trouble in their home nations – and then if you can confidently say that they are in fact, refugees – offer them temporary protection visas. And send them packing as soon as its safe to do so.

Or you can accept the alternative. Your nation being overrun by foreigners with zero interest in integrating to your culture who have no desire (and rarely the skills or education) to work and pay tax and who will just drain your welfare dry and bring great risk in the form of their religion to your doors. Your choice. Your consequences.
