Malaysia turns away 500 migrants

In Malaysia this past week the government turned away more than 500 illegal immigrants who were Muslims and Bangladeshis wanting to come over into their country. The Home Minister stated that they can not have immigrants flooding the shore, since they have been humane to them in the past but its time to not let them know their not welcomed anymore. But now theres talk that since these countries are turning away immigrants they are getting stranded in very dangerous oceans with no where to go. Some leaders believe that it is their job to help these immigrants find a new place and lead them in the right direction. Which i agree with you can not just send these people with no where to go. In the last 3 years 100,000 muslims have boarded ships and fled avoiding persecution. No countries want these immigrants because if you accept one of them their will be an overflow of them coming in and wanting citizenship. Since not a lot of countries are taking these migrants captains of ship are starting to leave them to fend for themselves.
