Warning on wave of boat people

June 30, 2009INDONESIAN authorities are bracing for a huge influx of boat people, anticipating as many as 10,000 asylum-seekers are waiting in Malaysia to transit through the archipelago and on to Australia.
This estimate was backed by a Malaysian group that deals with unauthorised immigrants. An Australian Government source warned of the potential for a similar influx to the thousands who began arriving in Australia from the late 1990s.
About 1500 asylum-seekers have arrived in Indonesia this year and registered for refugee status, almost all travelling by boat from Malaysia. Another 1500 are believed to have arrived and have not registered.
Indonesian police intelligence suggests between 7000 and 10,000 more people are waiting in Malaysia to make the journey once their passage is organised by people-smugglers.
"It could be 10,000," said senior commissioner Eko Danianto, head of the people smuggling unit at the Indonesian National Police.

I bet these asylum seekers are sponsored by by rich organizations. If those people are so poor, where do they get the money to pay their way on to a boat destined for Australia. The riches Muslims are from the Oil rich Arab countries and one of their leaders did make a statement that they will take over without shooting one bullet. Do yourself a favour and watch this You-tube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kKkY5EpVpY
Wake up Australia, you are allowing other nations, that don't domesticate in Australia to rob this land from our children. Let those people apply through proper channels. The boats will not stop if you sent all of them back. Give them a migration pack, and wave the migration fees, but let them apply through the proper channels from their own countries...
