Why Australia does not accept immigrants and refugees coming to the island by boat.

It is the policy of the Australian government to not accept immigrants and refugees coming to the continent by boat. But those who do are sent to an island off the coast, Nauru, where they face nightmarish conditions, untreated disease and what Anna Neistat of Amnesty International calls “deliberate, systematic abuse.” Neistat joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss their plight.
