Yes, you are. Obviously there's a problem. This is a problem decades in the making. I actually worked for the Department of Citizenship and Immigration a number of decades ago. The problem existed then and it still exists now. An awful lot of money can be spent moving people around, providing for them and taking care of them.
My solution, instead of accommodating the problem...and I'm not saying people are the problem. We have a systems problem with Citizenship and Immigration. I don't think moving that problem around is necessarily the best solution.
My recommendation would be to actually use those resources to fix the problem. Process these people's applications more quickly, so that those who are legitimate refugee claimants know their future more quickly. With those who aren't—who have not gone through the proper refugee screening process but have shown up here—removing them more quickly would save resources years into the future.
If we use those resources to actually process these claimants more effectively, I think we'd be better off, and we wouldn't have to sort out where we're going to put all these people for a lengthy period of time.
