Firstly, Australia is a big island surrounded by water.

The two ways to get here are by plane and boat.

We have a problem with refugees coming by boat to northern Australia.

In response to that problem the current Government implemented boat turnbacks and moved existing refugees to offshore detention.

Boats coming to Australia have slowed, but not stopped completely.

However the majority of Australia's illegal immigrant population came here through our borders at Airports. How did this happen? People come on a student or tourist visa and choose not to leave, some apply for refugee status, more of them just don't apply for anything and live here until caught.

The USA has a similar problem, however it has land based borders which are simpler for people to cross, that doesn't take away from the fact that between 40 and 65% of illegal immigrants in the USA are Visa overstays who came in legally through a border.

A wall will not fix that problem any more than being surrounded by water fixes that problem for Australia.

Paul, I hope you learned from this that you don't know everything and much of what you do type on this forum is so completely ill-informed that you might as well just make stuff up as it would probably be just as (in)accurate.
