Buzzfeed ^

Posted on 11/12/2016 4:25:44 PM PST by ameribbean expat

Speaking on Sunday morning with immigration minister Peter Dutton, Turnbull confirmed reports refugees on Nauru and Manus Island would be offered a one-off deal to live in the US. “The agreement is with the United States,” Turnbull said.

“It is a one-off agreement. It will not be repeated. It is only available to those currently in the regional processing centres. It will not be available to any persons who seek to reach Australia in the future.” The agreement will prioritise resettling women, children and families on Nauru. There are currently 1,313 people in offshore detention on Nauru and Manus Island.

They don’t want them. Why should we want them?

Australia, you are one of my favorite nations, but this is not something that is in BOTH of our best interests.

Send these people back to where they came from.

We DO NOT NEED OR WANT THEM.

It’s a stupid one way deal..to US. How about for every one of these Naurus, we send 3000 America-hating liberals?

Trump should reverse immediately on taking office. If Australia won’t take them back, they must go back to their countries of origin. If the countries of origin won’t take them, then the “refugees” should be given a nice long tropical vacation on Guantanamo.

WTF? Why doesn’t Australia take them? Are they “people of color” or what?

Go pound sand! The people allowed in the US should only be allowed in after they meet certain a criteria. Set forth from immigration standards that are per-determined by the people and its government, the people fore most.

Other wise, hope they like floating in the ocean.

No.

Send them back.

America needs a 20 year moratorium on all immigration.

I looked on the map. They are nearly all Muslim and complete 100 percent welfare trash.

We are already twenty trillion in debt. How much more of the worlds parasites can we continue to take in?

Send them ALL to the Vatican.

Wha? Hunh? I thought this was satire. I guess I wasn’t paying attention! This is the first I have heard of this. What detention centers?

I have advocated a five year stop, but twenty sounds even better.
