The Obama Administration has agreed to admit nearly 2500 refugees that the Australian government has refused to allow into their country for "security reasons." The refugees are from terrorism "hot spots" and have been excluded for failing to clear the country's vetting process.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) have complained about the lack of transparency in the President's actions. "In a matter having obvious security implications the President is obliged to consult Congress before agreeing to bring potentially dangerous individuals into the United States," Grassley contended. "The fact that these men were not deemed a good risk by Australia raises a red flag we ought to heed."
"What Senator Grassley and Congressman Goodlatte are overlooking is that, almost to a man, these refugees are Muslim," President Obama observed. "For us not to admit them would essentially be a decision wrought with implications of religious discrimination. Their rejection by Australia makes it even more imperative that we offer them the refuge promised on our Statue of Liberty. The chance that a few of these men may go on to wage jihad against our citizens is the price we have to pay as a free nation."
President-Elect Donald Trump challenged Obama's contention and insisted "these are the type of people who must not be allowed into our country. The pledge on the Statue of Liberty is meant to allow people who believe in freedom to come to America. Islamic terrorists are enemies of freedom who kill and destroy for the purpose of replacing freedom with religious tyranny."
Obama brushed aside the President-Elect's objections, saying that "by the time he is in a position to influence immigration policy these men will be secretly distributed to undisclosed locations inside the country. He won't be able to find them, much less have any hope of getting them out of America."
In related news, the government was forced to suspend citizenship naturalization ceremonies after it became public that the FBI background check system hasn't been working for an undisclosed period of time. Governor Jerry Brown (D-Calif) invited those seeking naturalization to "come to California. We will give you documents that will enable you to exercise all of the privileges of citizenship, including voting, in our state."

I’m hoping this is all satire and not merely semi-satire.
John may list it as semi-satire but the truth is he psychic and can predict the future...: )

This is Top Secret don’t you know
It is not satire. I have read about this off loading of illegal Muzzie immigrants presently impounded on an island off Australia. Australia NEVER permits anyone trying to enter their country illegally, to ever gain entry. The U.S. (under Obummer) has said they will accept them. If Australia is shipping them to the U.S., why can’t they ship them back to the middle east or their specific country of origin. If their country won’t accept them, moor the ship a mile out and let them swim for it.
