  1. I wonder what happens to the food that is not eaten ... one has to assume (HIC) that it is not wasted ... but seriously what choice do they have, we send you back or you stay in detention until we check you out, if it takes two years by the legal way, of course they are going to hold you back for two years at least, but one has to wonder what happens when the numbers really increase and the number of boats goes thru the roof, how will we address this issue then
