Hey LIBERAL....LOBBY YOUR Govt. tyo TAKE them into AUSTRALIA and not KEEP THEM ON AN ISLAND!!! GO AWAY....LOBBY YOUR OWN GOVT!!!
The US isn't named in this article but it is likely one of the three unnamed countries mentioned.
Grow up. You’re making conservatives look like idiots.
THEN KEEP THEM if they are so great!!! KEEP THEM!!
LOBBY your govt to CHANGE then if these are so good!!!
Go AWAY!!! Your country doesn’t even take in these MUSLIMS!!
Ok so I see Estrada has a law that if you try and enter the country illegally by boat will not be allowed in. I respect that and I respect they have a zero-tolerance policy for that
What’s truly intriguing is the United States is damned for even trying to block illegal entry and we’re being overrun
I respect the astralian policy can I respect the reason and I hope the Australians can understand that America is trying to come up with a similar policy for similar reasons.
The so-called tough phone call Trump had with the Australian well they should understand the exasperation Trump is experiencing with the previous administration...
Maybe we could pawn them off on the Canadians they seem to have a rube prime minister right now
It’s a bad deal, but one already publicly announced (maybe not details, but the deal itself). Having been announced in both nations, it is difficult to backtrack on it.
What we know or can reasonably assume:
Obama cut this deal with Tony Abbot or maybe even Julia Gillard, so it isn’t new.
It is for roughly 1200 people from Manus and Nauru.
Australia will take roughly the same number of South and/or Central Americans from the US claiming to be refugees.
Anyone arriving by boat without a visa will be permanently denied entry to Australia - doesn’t matter who they are or where they are from.
Common Belief:
AU gets 1200 Christians that are lazy and likely go on the dole
US gets 1200 Muslims that are lazy and likely go on the dole, but may also try to kill us
Likely result with Trump being tough:
Muslims will be replaced by Christians
Trump will honor the deal
US gets 1200 illegal alien Christians from the Middle East
AU gets 1200 illegal alien Christians from Central America
Trump has let in real refugees
Turnbull did not break promise about letting in boat people
AU hosts a Trump visit late 2017 or early 2018 to show all hard feelings are over
Everyone acknowledges obama is an idiot
Oyster bay is new Zealand wine
Let Canada have them. I like that idea.
Thanks to be honest In the articles I looked at I didn’t even see the trade aspect of it.
Even with the trade, it was still a bad deal for the US. Trump should make it reasonable. It will never be a good deal, but it can be acceptable.
Living in AU, I thought it was nice of Obama to take out our trash.
Who initiated talks about the swap? If it was Australia, then they are not the friends of us they make out to be. If it was obama, then it is par for the course.
From what I understand AU was looking for any countries that would take them.
AU issued a worldwide blanket request and Obama jumped in saying, “We’d love to take them”
It started with talks between the UN Refugee Agency and Australia.
Please explain to Ann Archy that “screaming” at people who are trying to reasonably answer others’ questions does not make one a liberal. Not once has Naturalman1975 stated that the US must honor this deal. On the contrary, he has been politely giving us the facts as he knows them. Perhaps Ann Archy could use a timeout.
Australia has very strict rules about who it lets in - it wanted to be part of the “refuge love boat” so it decided to be a gathering point/distribution center. It gets to say it helped the poor refugees w/o having to allow them in.
It’s a big seller in Brisbane.
Big seller in Australia.
Ok, thanks. It figures obama would pull a Horshack, raise his hand and yell “OOOOOOHHHHH! OOOOOOHHHHH! OOOOOOHHHHH!”
