re: Is it possible to ban all refugees?

If that does not work then we should setup a secure place in the middle of nowhere for them. Like in the middle of Arizona or some other place with nothing for miles. We probably have a few abandoned military bases that would work.

Or how about use the prisons that Australia uses.

Four years ago, the government of Australia set out to stop migrants and refugees from reaching its shores by boat. It came up with a ruthlessly efficient policy under which people found at sea were sent to Manus Island in Papua New Guinea or to the nation of Nauru, each a tiny island in the Pacific, ostensibly the first step to being resettled.


While that arrangement largely stopped the flow of boats packed with people that set off from Indonesia weekly, it has landed these refugees — many from Iran, Myanmar, Iraq and Afghanistan — in what amounts to cruel and indefinite detention. A new Amnesty International report tells of the desperation of the roughly 1,160 people stuck in Nauru, which has a population of about 10,000. More than 170 of the refugees are children.
