Indonesian Immigrants Flood Australia

Not welcome, mate!

"4 dead, 130 rescued from capsizing off Aussie isle" by ROD McGUIRK  |  Associated Press, June 28, 2012

CANBERRA, Australia — Four people are believed to have died and 130 others were rescued after a crowded boat carrying asylum seekers to Australia capsized and sank Wednesday, less than a week after more than 90 people drowned on a similar journey.

The incident, which occurred midway between Australia’s Christmas Island and the main Indonesian island of Java, has renewed Australian government efforts to deter a growing stream of boat arrivals by legislating to deport them to other Southeast Asian or Pacific countries....

The survivors’ refugee applications were being assessed at Christmas Island, where Australia runs an immigration detention center.  

You gotta love the "free" West, 'eh?
