In a recent Immigration amendment, Australia has stop taking in the applications from Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum seekers in an attempt to cut down the excessive inflow of boat people coming into the premises. According to Immigration minister Chris Evans, the Aussie authorities would adjourn all the boats carrying asylum seekers from the concerned countries.

The minister said that the announced changes would send a strong message to all the illegal immigrants as well as people who bootleg people from one country to another.

No further statement has been confirmed with regard to boat people who come from other Asian countries as the minister refused to say anything whether the amendments would affect the flow of desperate asylum seekers or not.

An official from UN refugee agency UNHCR called the trafficking of people as an aspect which is out of control. He went on to say that the asylum seekers would rather opt for the short cut ways rather than waiting for their case to be dealt by the Immigration officials, adding that the problem is growing!

Evans said that the country is expecting more boats to come but hoped that the recent changes would play a critical role in “people smuggling” over time. He also said that the message which he wants to spread is that the Australian circumstances are changing.

Also, the country is finding it hard to accommodate plenty of illegal immigrants who arrive in the country every year. Even the detention center in the Christmas Island is getting out of control, with huge number of detainees flocking in every year.
