Immigration

1. Australia and Malaysia have signed a deal in which 800 asylum seekers in Australia will be sent to Malaysia in return for 4000 UN approved refugees
2. They will have access to education, work and will not be caned
3. Illegal immigrants in Malaysia are normally not allowed to work and can be jailed
4. They may not be sent but it is still possible and the government aren't giving any promises
5. The Asylum seekers who have arrived after 7th May 2011 are to be processed in Australia
6. Refugees advocates are afraid the asylum seekers may not be given full human rights in Malaysia as they have not signed the UN resolutions and may be caned
7. It is designed to slow down the amount of boats arriving in Australia as they may be sent to Malaysia instead
8. The deal may not work if people decide that they may as well go for it and see what they get or they might see the 500+ asylum seekers who are staying and think they can make it
