IIRC Australia pays one or more countries to take in people who've requested asylum in Australia.Sounds good to me.Australia doesn't have to take in uneducated people totally unfamiliar with Western ways,the country receiving these refugees get the much needed cash and the refugees no longer have anything to fear (assuming their fears were legitimate to begin with).

I wonder how much it would cost to convince some country to take in the 30 million Spanish speakers who are in the US illegally.

That is the general idea with those who arrive here illegally (ie, by boat) and who are processed in the off-shore camps. If they do prove to be a genuine refugee who cannot be safely returned to where they came from, Australia will help them get to a place of safety. It just won't be Australia. And that can mean paying other countries to take them.

People who follow the rules and go through processing overseas may well be resettled in Australia. Like most wealthy nations, we do take in some refugees - but it's on our terms and they have to follow the rules.
