469. Nauru Asylum Detention Camp

The problem is that Australia doesn’t have the resources to house all the immigrants who want to come to Australia. The hard learned history shows how the original population suffered when immigration took place the last 300 years in Australia, so of course they have to do something so the history doesn’t repeat itself.

The government of Australia has created camps outside Australia and in TV commercials which many countries have copied they boast that none of the immigrants will ever have a chance to settle in Australia.

The immigrants are put in camps but then what? What is the life they will have in these camps. A number of articles speak of unbearable situations.

It cannot be fun to be there as a teenager.
