The profit selling to Russia wouldn't be a tiny fraction of 1% of the money made selling to the west. To risk that is insane.

The open border fans like you never provide a number of how many refugees should australia take in a year. 100k, 200k, million?

>You do realise that the vast majority of refugees
Maybe a 1/4 of the worlds population could pass the refugee test. If numbers of refugees had stayed low then they would have been let in.
Problem was that the refugee industry industrialised shipping refugees to Australia, there was vast profits to be made. Back in 2007 there was 25 boat refugees, this jumped to 4940 in 2010 and just two more years to 25173.
It was more than doubling each year. At what point does a country say enough is enough?
Year Boat Refugees
2007–08 25
2010–11 4940
2011–12 7983
2012–13 25 173

You mean the ones that dont come via international recognised channels, the ones that pay thousands to people smugglers?

The Germans put 80% of their artillery as AA guns. For every 88mm gun shooting at a tank there were 4 pointing up at the sky.

A refugee is someone who feels their life is in danger, when you travel across several countries, anyone of which you could claim to be a refugee to get to another country you aren't a refugee anymore
