Australia to resettle refugees in US under 'one-off' deal

(CNN)Australia will transfer hundreds of refugees currently held in offshore detention centers to the United States in a landmark deal announced Sunday. The plan is a "one-off agreement. It will not be repeated," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said at a press conference.

Turnbull added that the deal would only be available "to those currently in the regional processing centers" and will prioritize "women, children and families." Around 1,300 people are currently being held in offshore detention on the Pacific Island nation of Nauru, and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island. The majority of the detainees come from the Middle East and South Asia, with Iran and Afghanistan providing the bulk of the refugees.

Read about the riots on Manus Island. These aren’t people they are animals. High percentage from Iran. The one good thing to happen in the Manus riots was the death of Rena Barati (may have his name slightly off), he was absolutely an animal.

The creatures know that they will never set foot in AU, but would be delighted to do their killing in the USA.

I’m happy for AU taking out the trash, but the US shouldn’t be collecting it.

President Trump should use eminent domain (lawful by the Kelo decision to resettle ALL of them on Mark Zuckerberg's estate, and in Chappaqua New York, and in Pelosi's district, and in John Kerry's neighborhood; and in Obama's Hawaiian estate.

Make the vermin at the top subject to the squalor they impose on the rest of us.

Trump should demand a stop to this. Enough of Obama’s last minute stupidity.

No. DC is gentrifying. Send 'em to California, which wants to join the third world.

Australian needs to take them or send them home. They are NOT the US’s problem and Commie Barry is a lame duck limp prick president who is getting thrown out on his arse come January.

Is that the guy who called me to tell me that my computer needs remote servicing and that my taxes are in disorder and that I need to wire some Target gift cards to him to get everything straightened out?

Keep them in our own detention centers until extreme vetting takes place. Then send back the ones that cannot be vetted or have flags.

I hope President Trump will resettle those “refugees” back in their home countries two months from now.

Apparently there aren’t enough refugee terrorists here yet!
Here in AZ there are at least 2ooo recent ones according to recent news! Probably more by now! I will tell them where all of their fans live in Hollywood and then let Gov Brown find a new home for them all!
