Australia's migrant policy offers lessons for EU and US

Australia relies on offshore processing centers to deter asylum seekers, a strategy spanning more than two decades that now offers lessons for the European Union and the United States as they pursue similar third-country arrangements. Meanwhile, domestic political debates intensify as the Australian opposition coalition pledges deep cuts to immigration numbers and a 100,000 target, entering a three-way migration battle with Labor and One Nation. Experts argue that long-term visa policies fuel temporary migration, prompting questions over whether slashing migration would tank the economy or reset living standards.
