That's essentially my way as well.
No aid for any country that would not cooperate with stopping this illegal traffic.
Further if that fails stop our citizens from visiting that country on pains of withdrawing citizenship rights and make them stateless, similar to what we did to those that visited North Vietnam during the Vietnamese war.
For those that are already here only give them temporary protection visas, no rights to citizenship, no family reunions and if they leave no return visas. Also ban the right to repatriate money to their home countries.
Only rescue those within our recognised sphere of rescue and not enter Indonesian's sphere.
That may be drastic but will be effective. Remember the Indonesian people smugglers, with the tacit approval of that country's corrupt officials, are at war with us and we should do all that we can to retain sovereignty.

About 6000.
It's been about 4-6000 for a decade.
And about 2-4000 the decade before that.
It isn't a problem. It's a few percent of our immigrants.
Only politicians standing on their soapboxes scaring the cr@p out of people who don't know any better make it a problem. And the pollies only do that to keep people from asking how we could _actually_ make this a better country.
For everyone.
Including the _pathetically small_ numbers of reffos we get here.
I, like others here, despair of the leaders of both main parties. They _know_ this is a bull$..t issue, but are in there trying to outdo each other because it's easier to demonise a few voiceless unfortunates than do something substantive on any other issue.
SWK
PS, they aren't "illegals". That's another bull...t word thought up by the spin doctors to pull people's strings. Just like the concept of "queue jumpers" (there is no queue, never was).
And it works.

Meanwhile, in my blankie fort, we are watching reruns of "The Empire Strikes Back" and will reemerge in late September. Better lay in some more beer and chips.
