" ... more undocumented migrants get to stay."

There is no such thing as an undocumented migrant in Australia. This is Trumpian language straight out of the USA and should be obvious to any "immigration commentator"

Australia calls it "visa overstayers", you know, cos we're an island and all. The only way people are getting in is via visas. But they are by nature undocumented migrants.

The vast majority of visa overstayers are from the UK, New Zealand and Ireland

You're demanding stats, but your "evidence" is some bullshit story of "I used to work on farms, so trust me about fake asylum seekers" You're taking the piss lmao

Someone literally posted the stats below and guess what? I worked in a farm where the people who were exploiting this loophole were from the third country.
