= ﻿ MICHAEL'S PAGE **__ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS __** = .An illegal immigrant is someone who has arrived on a __legal visa__ but overstays. .Most illegal immigrants in Australia are from western countries such as the USA and the UK. .They are __not__ seeking asylum in Australia. .Asylum seekers only become illegal immigrants if their claim to refugee status fails (ie:is rejected by the Australian government). .More than 80% of asylum who have arrived in Australia by boat have been assessed as refugees according to the United Nations Convention Relating to the status of Refugees (1951). The others (those who claim is rejected) are deported either to their home country or another country.

__ **MIGRA﻿NTS** __
.A migrant is a person who left his or her country to make a new life in as new land. .In Australia people who are accepted as migrants are granted permanent residence have similar right as Australian citizens. .Migrants make a conseious choice to leave their own countries and unlike refugees and asylum seekers they can still count on protection of their own government. .Their journey abroad is planned in advance & they have the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones. .They have time to choose what clothes and possessions to pack. .They can choose to return home at any time, and can contact family & friends while they are abroad.

My understanding of a refugee and asylum seeker is that asylum seekers come to a country such as Australia, UK and USA as asylum seekers then need to get a refugee status but refugees already have that so they can go to one of those countries but not all of them get in.
