Unequal migrants: Cambodian boat people claim discrimination

Article Abstract:

A court case by three Cambodian women alleges a national bias in Australia against Cambodian refugees. The case disputes an earlier court decision that the women are economic refugees and should be deported. In 1990, Australian policy became strict about accepting refugees on the grounds that the Cambodian regime was no longer terrorist. The Cambodians charge bias because 20,000 Chinese admitted after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre have received better treatment. The costs of camps to detain the Cambodians as well as the cost of this case and other cases has become a public issue in Australia.

Unwelcome visitors

Article Abstract:

The discovery of boat people from China in Australia's northwest region has caused some Australians to be concerned about their border security and immigration policy. The government is sympathetic to the refugees, but the costs of policing illegal refugees and immigrants will likely lead to more stringent immigration policies. Border surveillance is important in preventing entry of illegal drugs, to prevent infestation of the animal industry and for defense.

Pros and cons of new settlers

Article Abstract:

A growing number of Australians are clamoring for a reduction in the number of immigrants allowed into the country. At present, immigrants enter the country at a rate of 110,000 to 120,000 annually. Critics of the current immigration policy want that number reduced to around 50,000 to 60,000. They argue that unemployed migrants continue to strain the country's overburdened welfare and social security systems.
