Australia’s Illegal Migration Crisis: Selling Out Locals for a Borderless Utopia, By James Reed

Australia is drowning in a sea of illegal migrants, and the Labor government is handing them life rafts while Aussies sink. Over 51,000 failed asylum seekers, rejected by our courts, roam free, with 43,000 more jamming the system and 28,000 waiting for a rubber stamp. That's nearly 100,000 people who shouldn't be here, soaking up housing, welfare, and jobs that belong to Aussie citizens. Nation First exposes the rot: Labor's caving to open-border activists and ivory-tower academics who push amnesties while ignoring the homeless, the hungry, and the hardworking Aussies priced out of their own country. This isn't just Australia's mess, it's the West's, from France's no-go zones to America's border chaos. Comfortable Leftist lawyers, safe in their cushy offices, champion "refugees," but turn a blind eye to locals begging for legal aid. If this betrayal continues, Australia's headed for collapse. Let's rip the veil off and see where this disaster takes us in 10, 20, 50, and 100 years, thought experiments that Alor.org blog writers today are conducting.

The numbers are like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, an absurdist Monty Python line, I think. According to the Department of Home Affairs, 51,000 failed asylum seekers, people our courts said have no right to stay, are still here, living in the shadows, costing taxpayers millions. Add 43,000 clogging tribunals and 28,000 pending decisions, and you've got a backlog of 95,000, growing like blackberries in the Victorian hills after the machete ban, yesterday. Labor's response? Do nothing. Deportations? A pathetic five per month. That's not a policy, it's surrender. Meanwhile, Aussies can't find rentals, veterans sleep on streets, and pensioners scrape by, but the government's too busy rolling out the red carpet for illegals.

Who's pulling the strings? The asylum seeker lobby groups demands work rights, Medicare, and welfare for these "refugees," even those rejected. Labor for Refugees, a faction inside Albanese's party, pushes amnesties, whining about post-WWII guilt. Then there's Labor insiders, peddling a blueprint to gut border protections: scrap offshore processing, hand out permanent visas to rejects, let kids sponsor parents, and make detention optional. It is open borders wrapped in "compassion." These Leftist lawyers, sipping lattes and fine wines in Melbourne, Perth or Sydney, don't care about the Aussie battler needing pro bono help to fight eviction. They're too busy aiding the Great Replacement, one illegal at a time.

This mirrors the West's self-inflicted wound. As covered at the blog today, in France, 80% of women want the army to stop migrant crime waves, with 77% of Paris rapes allegedly tied to foreigners. Sweden's gang violence, fuelled by unintegrated migrants, has forced a policy U-turn. Australia's on the same path, with Labor's weak borders inviting chaos while locals pay the price.

The mainstream, the Leftist ABC, Guardian, and their academic cheerleaders, call this "humanitarian." They say we're "saving lives" by letting illegals stay. But it's a lie that does over Aussies. Housing affordability is a nightmare, rents up 14% in 2024, with 170,000 on public housing waitlists. Centrelink's stretched thin, yet the lobby wants illegals on the dole. Meanwhile, legal aid offices turn away locals because they're underfunded, but Leftist lawyers and their ilk have time to write "trauma-informed" refugee policies. Where's the trauma-informed help for the 116,000 homeless Aussies or the 1.2 million on welfare struggling to eat?

This isn't compassion; it's class warfare. Leftist elites, safe in their suburbs, preach open borders while locals dodge needles in city parks. The 2023 High Court ruling letting 150 detainees free, some with criminal records, shows how far the rot's spread. Labor's fast-tracking protection visas and loosening restrictions, egged on by activists, screams one thing: Australia's up for grabs. The West's no different, Europe's migrant ghettos and America's sanctuary cities prove open borders breed resentment, crime, and division. Australians deserve better than this globalist betrayal.

The Road to Ruin: 10, 20, 50, 100 Years

If Labor keeps pandering to the open-border mob, Australia's done for. Here's the grim future:

10 Years (2035): The illegal migrant count hits 150,000, with 20,000 new arrivals yearly as Labor caves to the lobby's amnesty demands. Housing prices soar, Sydney's median rent hits $1,200/week, pricing out young families. Crime spikes in migrant-heavy suburbs, with assaults up 15%, mirroring France's urban chaos. Public hospitals buckle under non-citizen demand, while veterans wait months for care. Nationalist parties like One Nation triple their seats, riding public fury, but Labor's majority stalls deportations. Activists push "emergency visas," flooding cities with unvetted arrivals. Australia's a powder keg, with riots looming.

20 Years (2045): Illegals and their families hit 20% plus of the population. Suburbs like Melbourne's Dandenong become no-go zones, with gang violence rivalling France and Sweden's. Welfare costs explode, $10 billion annually for non-citizens, while infrastructure crumbles. Leftist lawyers, now fully embedded in government because of the Leftist bias of all Australian law schools, dismantle offshore processing, letting boat arrivals surge to 200,000 a year. Locals flee cities, leaving them to decay like Detroit and Baltimore. Public trust in democracy tanks; 80% demand border crackdowns, per future polls. Military patrols, as in France, become a grim reality to quell unrest. Australia's sovereignty hangs by a thread.

50 Years (2075): The migrant population, legal and illegal, nears 60% plus, with parallel communities dominating urban centers. Sharia-like enclaves and gang-run slums spread, as seen in Europe. The economy stagnates; productivity plummets as low-skill illegals flood labour markets. Homeless Aussies hit 500,000 plus, but legal aid prioritises endless "refugee" cases. The government, crippled by debt, outsources security to militias, echoing France's collapse. A new ethnic-migration party then rules, and cultural cohesion is gone. Australia fractures into ethnic fiefdoms, a shadow of its former self.

100 Years (2125): Australia as we know it is dead. A 90% plus migrant population, swollen by decades of amnesties, creates a balkanised failed state, as in the horn of Africa. Former cities like Sydney and Brisbane resemble Third-World sprawls, with crime lords and radicals in control. Native Aussies, now a minority in urban areas, Long ago retreated to rural boltholes, as in Europe. The state collapses under welfare and security costs, with the army gone, replaced by African-style rule of warlords. The West, America, Europe, Australia, dissolves into chaos, proving open borders were a suicide pact. The "compassion" of Leftist lawyers leaves a legacy of ruin, with locals' pleas for help long forgotten. And, the Leftist lawyer are themselves long gone, as the children of the revolution, ate the parents.

The open-border crowd, Labor, the Greens, and their academic lapdogs, want you to believe this is "humanitarianism." It's not. It's a betrayal of every Aussie struggling to survive while illegals drain resources. Those 51,000 failed asylum seekers aren't victims; they're a symbolic threat to our sovereignty, our safety, our future. Leftist lawyers cosy in their ivory towers/offices, cry for migration reviews but won't lift a finger for the homeless vet or the single mum facing eviction. Their compassion is selective, their hypocrisy blatant. All for the cause of Leftism.

Australia's not alone, France's women beg for the army, America's border bleeds, Britain faces knife crime despite bans, Sweden's burning and being blown up by migrant gang bomb attacks. The West is at a crossroads, and we're speeding toward collapse. Deport the illegals now. Slash asylum numbers. Fund legal aid for Aussies, not illegals. Call your MP, back border hawks like George Christensen, and demand zero tolerance for this invasion. If we don't fight, we lose our country, which is already fast slip sliding away.

Over 51,000 failed asylum seekers remain in Australia unlawfully.

Labor is refusing to deport them, despite legal options being exhausted.

Activist groups are pushing for permanent protection and amnesties.

Labor-aligned academics want to scrap border protections completely.

True Australian values mean enforcing borders and protecting citizens.

According to new figures from the Australian Department of Home Affairs, over 51,000 failed asylum seekers are still in Australia after exhausting every legal avenue—including the courts. Another 43,000 are jamming up the tribunal system. Add the 28,000 still waiting for a decision, and the backlog balloons past 95,000.

But let's focus on the real outrage: over 50,000 people have no right to be here, and yet they're not being deported.

This isn't just a bureaucratic backlog. It's a crisis. A national security threat. A housing and welfare timebomb. And what's Labor doing? Letting it fester. Letting it grow.

You think this ends with illegal overstayers? No way.

So how did we get here?

Simple: the open-border lobby has captured Labor. And now, they're driving policy.

Let's look at who's really steering the ship.

The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC)—the activist machine—wants permanent protection handed to people already rejected. They want full access to work, Medicare, study, and welfare while people sit in the system for years. Deportations? Nope. Not part of their agenda. They're currently lobbying Labor for all of these measures to be implemented.

Labor for Refugees, a faction right inside the Australian Labor Party, is openly lobbying for sweeping amnesties. Their argument? That our post-WWII immigration legacy obligates us to let everyone stay. It's historical guilt turned into reckless policy.

And then there's Murdoch University's human rights law professor Mary Anne Kenny.

She's not just some academic. She's been part of Labor's own inner refugee advisory council, the Ministerial Council on Asylum Seekers and Detention. shes also an affiliate at UNSW's Kaldor Centre—the legal engine room of the asylum industry.

Kenny is pushing a refugee policy blueprint for Labor to implement that includes:

A scrapping of offshore processing.

Giving permanent visas to people already denied protection.

Letting children sponsor their parents.

Creating new "emergency visas."

Making detention optional.

Establish "trauma-informed" sympathetic reviews for those who've already failed.

Bottom of Form

Of course, all of this is all wrapped up in words like "human rights," "fairness," and "compassion." But don't be fooled—this is the administrative path to open borders.

And now? Labor has the numbers to make it all happen. Albanese's second-term majority means no brakes, no guardrails, no excuses.

Look at what's already happening. They're fast-tracking protection visas, expanding permanent refugee pathways, and being lobbied hard to lift restrictions on illegal arrivals. Every signal coming out of Canberra screams weakness. Every activist letter, every academic op-ed, every bureaucratic tweak is a neon sign: Australia is open for exploitation.

They say this is about "values." Let me tell you something: real Australian values mean putting our people first.

Not importing problems from the rest of the world.

Not dismantling the very borders that protect our sovereignty.

Let me ask you this: compassion for who?

Not for the hardworking Aussies priced out of homes because rental markets are bursting.

Not for the taxpayer footing the Centrelink bill while non-citizens game the system.

Not for our veterans, farmers or pensioners—no, they're told to tighten their belts while Canberra "humanely" refuses to deport fake refugees.

Even now, less than five failed asylum seekers are deported involuntarily each month. That's right—five. Out of tens of thousands.

Labor has completely lost control.

And the worst part? This is deliberate.

Do we really want to go the way of the United States, where millions of illegals live in the shadows, draining public services and fuelling political chaos?

Because that's where we're headed—unless we fight back now.

It's time to draw the line. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Now.

Call your MP. Tell them you won't tolerate tens of thousands of illegals walking free while Australians suffer.

Support our border protection advocates and demand zero tolerance for fake asylum games."
