And often, the simple reason is that the originating country will not accept them back. So what does one do with them? Set them out on some uninhabited island in the Pacific? [quote]His application for political asylum had been denied, but he had a work visa, eventually when he was to to attend an immigration court the appointment was sent to the wrong address! It was an admin error on the immigration departments behalf that meant this man ended up in jail, not his abuse of the system, he was trying to go through the system. Besides I think you're skirting around the issue, it matters not how he ended up there, it's the treatment that's the issue.[/quote] A work visa is nice, yes, but it certainly is not a granted right to stay over the time of the granted time in a country. And one will often find that errors in the system cause quite a few problems (like sending a legal writ to the wrong address). I am curious as to what you suggest should be implimented in its place. AFAIK, there is no perfect system, and as finances get shuffled in the great financial budget, those without skills and connections will find their department lacking in funds, and therefore, often a source of many mistakes. The dept. of Immigration is no exception to this. I have dealt with the US Dept. of Immigration before, and believe me, it is not a friendly, nor easy institution to deal with. However, there are more effective ways to deal with them - I went through a 3rd party non-profit organization that knew people on the inside, and was able to move things smoother, more effectively, and quicker. I can only say that things like this are present everywhere, that having the right connections will often get you what you wish. And Blaise, I am not "skirting around the issue". I am telling you how it is. You may wish to turn a blind eye to the personal responsibility that Mr. Ng had and his decisions that lead to the circumstances surrounding his death, but that does not mean that I will not point them out. As a guest in a country, he should have made every effort to inform himself about what was required to secure that which he wanted, and made sure that he fully understood them. This means staying in regular contact with the Dept. of Immigration, making sure that his address information is correct and up-to-date, and also meeting and fulfilling any and all requirements of him from that office. That said, and as I also pointed out, it is not a reason to treat him as he was treated. I think it is safe to say that we are all in agreement on that. Now, you cannot seriously be comparing his situation and treatment to that which is practiced on a routine basis in China, Russia, and especially North Korea!
