The United States has confirmed it will be going through with a migrant resettlement plan made with Australia. US President Donald Trump once called the deal, which was agreed under his predecessor, "dumb". The agreement allows for up to 1,250 asylum seekers to Australia to resettle in the US. In return, Mr Turnbull's administration has agreed to resettle people from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador who have sought asylum in the US. The deal would be honoured but not necessarily admired, visiting Vice-President Mike Pence said after talks with Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull. Australia has controversially refused to accept the asylum seekers, most of whom are men from Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq, and instead holds them in offshore detention centres on the Pacific nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

Why isn’t Australia taking them in?
Send them to Hawaii...
disgusting.
Can’t we put them all on Molokai with the lepers?
Great minds think alike. Check out 5.
Geffens yacht could hold them all
or Vermont near one of Bernie’s houses.
Bullshit. Why? No possible reason for us to honor this crap.
Guatemala, Honduras? This is insane. These are not war torn and their people are friggen morons for being in the shape they are in. Sure. Import more idiots. Send then to Claifornia and raise the IQ of both places.
Great, are they dreamers? Why are we taking out another country’s trash? Be sure to thank dt for more immigrants. If the Aussies don’t want them, why would we. Just love importing more Islam... making Islam great again.
This is nuts.
Great. Just great.

If you read into it “extreme vetting” will be applied. I see that as an out to shuffle these muzzie bastards back to the hell hole’s they emerged from , we still have an out clause as I see it.
That’s my read too. I wouldn’t be surprised if they never set foot here. Their one way ticket will be back to where they started. The ones that hold fake Syrian passports aren’t going to be thrilled.
Actually, it’s worse than you think. The deal is to take refugees from the ME.
But. Consider the source. Something’s no being reported. Further down the thread, one of our colleagues suggests “extreme vetting.”
The truth is probably closer to this: Honor the dumb deal with our ally, then use extreme vetting to determine those to be sent back to their home countries.
Bottom line: BBC is incapable of telling the whole truth. This is merely anti-Trump spin. Possibly fake news.
Not just dumb, this is stupid.
Why should we take the Islamists that Australia does not want?
They were headed for Australia, Australia intercepted them, Australia is holding them.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Agree
Send them to the Hawaiian leper colony then.
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve read about all week.
How in hell does this MAGA?
