Their human ffs ,both sides need to stop trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and actually y ' know have a proper policy and not some catch cry of stop the boats or its the previous governments fault . What magical solution do you propose? Either you can open the borders and enable the people smugglers to transport people on un-seaworthy vessels many that will inevitably sink and kill the people on board, which is cruel and inhumane, or you can close the borders and deny asylum seekers their wish to seek asylum in their country of choice, which some might argue is also cruel and humane. So you have to decide what is more moral, obeying outdated international policy or saving lives? I don't think denying people the right to come here illegally and dangerously is particularly cruel, there are many other destinations where they can resettle which offers a much safer passage of travel. Some of those countries don't offer the high standard of living that we offer, so they take the risk to come here, but we shouldn't facilitate people smuggling , deaths at sea and queue jumping just so people can gain a higher standard of living.
