This.

On the boats, we get about 5% of the refugees that the Serapu admit to 
getting each year.

There is also a language promble, in that a lot of the ones we get don't 
speak Serapu, so would have trouble doing anything in Senapr. They do, 
though, speak English as well as some of those born here.
