'Go Back to Where You Came From'

I see what Raquel meant when she said "its not my problem" about the refugees and asylum seekers, but I also think its unfair that they cant have a better life if we don't let them into our country. I mean, i know everyone doesn't want to deal with the boats full of people coming into our country, but if you were in their place what would you do?

If i were in a country that wasn't safe for me and my family, i would definitely take what ever chance I could to get to a better country. I think it would be scary walking in the street facing constant abuse or threats and family or friends disappearing, also not being able to have a good education as a girl as Najeeba from the case study said she lived with. I would get on a boat and try get to a better place and i think a lot of people would do the same. I think everyone would do what ever they could to do what is best for their family, so why do we blame them. They cant help being born and living where they were, we are just lucky enough to live in a country as good as Australia.

In my opinion, and many others', if we have heaps of asylum seekers coming into Australia, that would limit our chances for our future. More jobs will be going to the asylum seekers or refugees which would mean less jobs for us that have been in Australia our whole lives. Then what does that mean for us, they came here trying to get a better life but at the same time they are making ours worse.

In my belief there are pros and cons with asylum seekers and i think something has to be done, something has to be sorted out so we don't have to worry about it and neither do they.
