Duterte: Philippines Willing to Accept Refugees Until 'Filled to the Brim'

I know - I was just reaching for a way to work in the Hank Johnson quote. :-)

[Califreak]

If they get out of hand, he can just fire up more hit squads.

You know, the Australians did try send them to New Guinea and Indonesia and the refugees refused to go. Philippines would be the same thing really. No takers I think.

They aren’t “political” refugees at all.

Now, in 1940-41 President Quezon opened the Philippines to Jews, and about 1500 or so Jewish refugees made it there before the Japs invaded. Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Anyway, those really were political refugees.

[heartwood]

He wants Syrians, Afghanis, Somalis, and assorted sub-Saharan Africans, young men who’ll abandon their families in war zones and poverty, for a chance at Philippine money and women?

Because the Philippines needs a little diversity in its Muslim terrorist forces.

[AmusedBystander]

Mr. Trump should take him up on his offer. We can start deporting ALL of our illegals there.

[El Cid]

Re: 17

Exactly.
That is the way I read his offer also. He is able to make some magnanimous comment, knowing that no one will take him up on it. There is not the social welfare, nor job opportunities, to make the Philippines an attractive destination for people leaving their own countries. Duterte scores some cheap Social Justice Warrior points, without any cost.

*wiping iced tea off my monitor.

[ari-freedom]

Trump doesn’t need ‘friends’ like this guy

[W.]

Bet he wants to bring those retarded ragheads to our CONUS.

A drink says that's the plan he's been fed by the 0bastard.

[Lisbon1940]

But Duterte said bad about Obama. Must be some good there.

[BuffaloJack]

Seems like the Philippines elected their own version of Obama.

[nickcarraway]

Most people compare him to Trump.

[itsahoot]

Wasn’t he saying last week he would kill all the Muslim jihadists and he didn’t want any guff from the rest of us about civil rights.

[dancusa]

Rodrigo Duterte is the Tony Montana of The Philippines.

[b4me]

who pays for them to get there? who pays for their care or needs if and until they find work?

[eastforker]

Fish, barrel, entertainment!! LOL

[JediJones]

Hurricanes tend to wipe out thousands of them every few years. Nature’s way of dealing with overpopulation.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Waiting for their military to take out this clown

[JediJones]

Best elected official since Rob Ford.

[JediJones]

Neither. This guy is the new Rob Ford.
