The topic of this post is the refugee problem in Australia and around the world. One possible solution to the refugee problem is to set a cap on the number of refugees that each country can accept. This will have a two-fold effect. One, this will send a message to the people smugglers that a limit on the number of people that can enter a country will be enforced and secondly, I think, it is a more humane and efficient way of helping the refugees settle in a country. This has the effect of placing less pressure on the processing of asylum seekers and on the resources of the accepting country.
Just a thought.
p.s.
Ideally, the refugees will be processed onshore. So a cap on the numbers will cause less social disruption to the rest of the community.
