What’s the Difference between Deportation and Removal?
A person living in Australia can be removed in two ways: through deportation or removal.
You may ask: What’s the difference between the two? How each of these processes is carried out?
That’s a good question.
The most fundamental difference between the two is this: Deportation requires a specific order, while removal does not. In the case of the former, the deportation order is done under section 206 of the Migration Act 1958.
What is Removal?
Let’s discuss first the process of removal and the individuals who may be affected by it.
If you happen to be a foreign national, who is not a citizen of Australia and who is living here without official authorization, your stay is deemed illegal. Therefore, to be able to stay here lawfully, you have to

You simply entered the country without a visa.
2. You chose to remain in Australia even after your temporary visa has expired
3. You failed to renew your visa or overstayed it, which may relate to the preceding item.
4. You had your visa cancelled for whatever reason.
5. You entered the country under false travel documents.
The manner, however, in which you are dealt with by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) -- including whether the DIBP authorities will detain you or not -- will depend on the circumstances surrounding your case and whether your continued presence in the country poses serious threat to the lives and wellbeing of the individual Australians and the community where you are in as a whole.
Removal is involuntary. Hence you should avoid it at all costs. If you can find a way to obtain a temporary visa before your departure from the country, that’s laudable.
There is also a less disgraceful way of handling this embarrassing situation: You fly out of the country yourself before the authorities forcibly detain you and eventually remove you.

The Indian Removal Act drove thousands of natives off their tribal lands and forced them west to new reservations. Then again, there are those who defend Jackson's decision stating that Indian removal was necessary for the advancement of the United States. However, the cost and way of removing the natives was brutal and cruel. The opposition fails to recognize the fact that Jackson’s removal act had promised the natives payment, food, and protection for their cooperation, but Jackson fails to deliver any of these promises. Furthermore, in “Indian removal,” an article from the Public Broadcasting Service, a description of the removal of the Cherokee nation is given.

One of Australia’s biggest moral wrongdoings that has been continued to be overlooked is the providing of safety for refugees. Under the article 14, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it states that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. It is not in anyway, shape or form illegal to seek asylum from maltreatment. Australia is obliged under international law to: offer protection, give support, ensure that any individual is not sent back unwillingly to the country of their origin. A report made by
The conditions of Australia’s immigration detention policies have also been cause for concern for probable contraventions of Articles 7 and 10 of the ICCPR. Whilst in Sweden, asylum seekers are afforded free housing whilst their applications are being processed, Australia’s methods are much more callous. Under the Pacific Solution, maritime asylum seekers are sent to impoverished tropical islands with no monitoring by human rights organisations allowed (Hyndman and Mountz, 2008). The UNHCR criticised Australia’s offshore processing centres stating that “significant overcrowding, cramped living quarters, unhygienic conditions, little privacy and harsh tropical climate contribute to the poor conditions of… Nauru and Papua New Guinea” (Morales
Illegals, Aliens, Undocumented (however you wish to call them) are often viewed as a burden to America. But are they really? Are American conscious of the contributions that “Illegal Aliens” bring to this country? “Illegal Aliens” have stimulated enormous economic wealth to this country. It is now the time to recognize those hard working underpaid immigrants and grant them the reform they deserved after so many years of being a shadow. I call to action an immediate immigration reform NOW!
Since the time of federation the Aboriginal people have been fighting for their rights through protests, strikes and the notorious ‘day of mourning’. However, over the last century the Australian federal government has generated policies which manage and restrained that of the Aboriginal people’s rights, citizenships and general protection. The Australian government policy that has had the most significant impact on indigenous Australians is the assimilation policy. The reasons behind this include the influences that the stolen generation has had on the indigenous Australians, their relegated rights and their entitlement to vote and the impact that the policy has had on the indigenous people of Australia.
As a signatory to the UN 1951 refugee convention, we have already agreed, not to return asylum seekers or to detain them indefinitely. In 2001, the Tampa incident brought disrepute to us as we failed to take the right action. Another wave of backlash irrupted when Indonesian fishing vessel codenamed SEIV X sank in northern waters. The UN is highly critical on the practice of mandatory detention over long periods. As a law abiding nation, we need to keep our citizens well informed of our obligations under UN convention so that we can collectively meet our obligations in true spirit. Once Australians realise that we are providing over 200,000 migrant visas annually and the asylum seekers would occupy less than 2% of it and irrespective of the fears mongered by politicians, almost 93% of asylum seekers who arrived by boat in the have been recognized as “genuine” refugees by Australian authorities and the popular “country shoppers” or “economic migrant” stories do not represent the reality, it is not difficult to develop a national consensus on this ongoing, unavoidable issue in an overpopulated world with a massive imbalance in resource
... the Australian public toward asylum seekers. The division of the “us” and “them” groups driven by the power of the Australian government through group think has led to that Australian public being persuaded that the best way to deal with the group is to exclude them from our community through detention. The division of the two groups is evidenced further through the media’s use of negative language and labelling of the asylum seekers to a point that creates hostility and prejudice against the group. Examples of how the government has used labelling and hegemony to influence the public opinion, has resulted in justification of the policy’s adopted to deal with the irregular maritime arrivals has been presented. It has been argued that through the rule of law this has created further separation of the groups, thus promoting resentment toward the asylum seekers.
‘Displaced person in your own country, lonely in teeming city crowds, last of your tribe’. Has anyone here ever been forcibly abducted from your home? Or have had your children literally pried out of your arms and stolen from you? Or have you had your parents murdered right in front of you? Australia’s indigenous people and rightful owners of the land have been permanently segregated from the Australian society having been faced with extreme adversity, torture and catastrophe. Consequently, Indigenous Australians were made outsiders in their own home. Yet, The Australian Government and communities have accepted all of you here today with open arms and officially entitled you as Australian citizens. As can be expected, this is even stated in the Australian National Anthem, ‘For those who’ve come across the seas we’ve boundless plains to share’. With no reference to the Aboriginals and Australia’s true history as well as disreguarding them in the verse ‘For we are young and free’. Good morning, I, a fellow immigrant and Australian am here today to oppose Australia’s values of acceptance and freedom. How can we be truly accepted

Immigration is an important feature of Australian society. Since 1945, over six million people from 200 countries have come to Australia as new settlers. Migrants have made a major contribution to shaping modern Australia. People born overseas make up almost one quarter of the total population. About its ethics distribution, aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people totaled 410 003 at the last census, nearly 2.2 per cent of the population. Two thirds of the indigenous people live in towns and cities. Many others live in rural and remote areas, and some still have a broadly traditional way of life.(Ning)
Australia's current refugee policy dictates that australia has accepted more than 700,000 refugees and people that are in need of a new beginning in a new country. The largest group that came to australia was in 1947 and 1954 when 170,000 refugees came from camps in Europe and majority from poland to the big smoke of Australia. Australia established its first Department of immigration in 1945 when arthur caldwell was minister.It was not until 1977 that a comprohensive policy on refugees was adopted by setting out the objectivies and mechanisms for a long program,The program was developed by Coalition government led by Malcolm Fraser and Michael Mackellar as Minister for Immigration.
