But a lot of these kids are also second generation.

They weren't born in Sudan or South Sudan.

For the most part, they grew up here.

If anything, they came here maybe as small kids, but they grew up in Australian society, going to our schools, growing up with our norms, our culture.

And I just said...

Why are we having this problem?

There might be an argument if a 16-year-old kid came from South Sudan when it was peak ISIS overtake there and he was radicalized and so forth, even then shouldn't be coming here and deport if no crime is committed.

But there is a assimilation and an integration issue that has been going on for, well, over a decade, well over a decade, a couple of decades now,

There shouldn't be kids growing up here being overrepresented in our youth justice system.
