For starters: Australia requires all unauthorized asylum seekers, whether arriving by boat or overstaying visas, to be detained, often without a fixed time limit, in onshore or offshore facilities. Average detention has been over 500 days; some cases extend to years. Facilities on Nauru and Manus have drawn international condemnatio, including UN findings of "inhumane" conditions, rights violations, and long-term psychological harm, especially for children. Reports document abuse, selfharm, sexual violence, deaths, and restricted access to basic services and legal recourse.
The Australian system is problematic because of apathy, the American system is problematic because of straight malice. And in Australia the supreme court recently ruled that indefinite detention without the prospect of release is illegal, in America the supreme court ruled Trump can sell immigrants into slavery.
