I am wondering who is paying for all the food for all the refugees they have living in the airport:
Some 150 foreigners live in a 30-person deportation room of Incheon International Airport. They spend their days in the windowless room watching TV channels broadcast in Korean, or sleeping on benches or floors. [JOONGANG ILBO]Some 150 foreigners are trapped in a single room in Incheon International Airport after their attempts to enter Korea were blocked. They have access to toilets and showers, and are given one blanket each. They eat fast food sandwiches and Coca-Cola – three times a day.
They may be here for a while.
“There is no way we are going to return to our country, which is still at war,” said 28 Syrians caught at the airport in a lawsuit filed in the Incheon District Court last month. It called for a revocation of the immigration office’s rejection of their refugee-status applications.
The 28 Syrians are sharing the 470-square-meter (5,060-square-foot) deportation room with people from nine other countries who have been refused entry, including Thailand, China, Egypt, Kazakhstan and Pakistan. The room is designed for 30 people.
Omar Muhammad (a pseudonym) is one of the Syrians trapped in the terminal. Since leaving the Aleppo region last December, Omar transited through Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates and then flew on to Korea. All of what he has seen of Korea is the eastern end of Incheon airport.
The immigration office at the airport decided not to submit his refugee-status application to the Ministry of Justice for “lack of clear reason for entry” into South Korea.
“Often, we cannot determine the exact reason for the applicants leaving their home country, and the airport needs to filter these applicants out,” a Justice Ministry official said. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
What makes these people think they have a right to enter another country? Yes, I understand the place they’re coming from is a mess. How were they allowed to board the fight? The Airline that flew them in should pick up the tab, and then fly them someplace that will accept them.

“There is no way we are going to return to our country”
Ho ho ho… I bet I can find a way.
A runny honey enema followed by sodomy with an open-ended tube full of fire ants… just off the top of my head.
One can feel sorry for refugees… but just because they fukked up their country with apathy, Islam, and self-destructive thinking doesn’t give them any special right to go fukk up somewhere else as they cling to the religion and culture which brought their problems about in the first place.

They should never have been allowed on the plane without the right paperwork.

Hey all, my home is smelly, and I haven’t taken care of the trash in ages. Hope you don’t mind that I plop my fat arse in your home. Don’t be worried, if there is a burglar or any type of significant work to be done, I will be sure to move on to the next home.
Yours truly,

Seeing this picture, the first thing that came to mind was the time I helped out a co-worker by going down to the Mok-dong Immigration Office and translating for him. His son had gotten into a lot of trouble and after spending several months in the pokey – they transferred him to the jail section of the Immigration Office to be deported. We went up to the floor where they keep the immigration holdovers and as soon as the elevator doors opened – you were hit with a wall of stench that damn near had you choking and gasping for air. They said as soon as dad brings a plane ticket to the jail, they’d transport the boy out to Incheon Int’l and ship him out. He had two weeks to bring the ticket. The boy had been there since the night before. We had a chance to talk to him through the cell bars. The cell was packed wall-to-wall with what looked like Middle-Eastern men (there may have been a few non-Arabs – I only know they were all brown). Hollywood’s finest actors could not imitate the look of desperation on that boy’s face and the desperation in his voice. He begged his dad to get him out of there as soon as possible. He said it smelled so bad that he hadn’t been able to sleep the night before (under the circumstances … I thought that might not have been such a bad thing). His dad got him a ticket that same day for a next day departure. I’m pretty sure those two nights in the immigration jail were worse than all the months he spent in the SOFA section of the detention facility in Ui-wang City.

Why was there so much smell? Body odour? No bathroom? What was it?

Tyson, there are “people-groups” for whom such evil things as perfumed soap, deodorant, and toilet paper are verboten (sand and the left hand are all they use)… And they are often the groups that demand the rest of the world sacrifice their children’s future to support their “lifestyle”.

I guess it would best be described as body odor.
