Illegals are illegals are illegals whether they flew here or floated here. Most of the ones coming by boat, don't come from a Visa free country and they wouldn't have received a Visa for any other reason.
While the detention centres in WA and NT are full of boat people, many of the ones in Villawood are the illegal overstayers and boat people who failed to gain asylum.
I don't know why we cant do exactly the same as the Yanks do and bus them back immediately, although then they wouldn't get off the plane, like they didn't get off the Oceanic Viking or what ever was the Customs ship that took them to Indonesia.
As for Australian Citizenship for new immigrants, it should be the one strike and your out rule. Go to prison for a crime and you lose you're adult acquired citizenship and when parole or release comes around, it's off in a big plane to from whence you came, no questions, no appeal even if you've got family here.
I think that all the treaties that were signed at the end of WWII with devastation in Europe are the cause of a lot of todays problems.
