Australian Refugee "Deal"
Vanity | February 2, 2017 | Behind the Blue Wall

Posted on 02/02/2017 3:14:52 PM PST by Behind the Blue Wall

Excuse the vanity, but I've been reading about this "deal" entered into apparently by Obama whereby we agreed to accept up to 2000 Australian illegal immigrants/"refugees" into our country, and as far as I know, a deal is defined by a trade of value between two or more parties. So what were we to get in return for accepting these people?

A case of skunky Oyster Bay chardonnay.

More potential terrorists like the Boston Marathon attackers and the San Bernadino killers.

This was an obola deal. What makes you think we are to get anything good in return for taking 2000 more rapugees?

What did we get from Iran in exchange for billions in cash?

There wasn’t a “deal”. Obama just agreed to take Australia’s unwanted trash with no strings attached. Was a total screw-job for the United States.

In simple terms, you will get 1250 people who have already been extensively vetted (and who you may subject to further vetting) to fill part of the 50,000 quota for refugees that President Trump has chosen to have.

Honestly, you're not likely to get safer people than these.

Since they are already accustomed to living on an island
I recommend ALCATRAZ !
I understand there are rooms available, which are better than the tents they live in now
then they can be thoroughly "vetted".
Consider it 'ELLIS ISLAND of the WEST ' !

A significant number of them are Iranian or Syrian Christians who have fled Muslim persecution.

I’ve had similar questions about the ‘Iran deal’.

We sent pallets of money, and let them build a nuclear program...oh , and we are now committed to defend Iran’s nuclear facilities against destruction by Israel...neat huh?

Barry never said what the Iranians gave up...
