Republicans in the House and Senate sent a letter to Obama administration officials this week, demanding more details about nearly 2,500 refugees the U.S. is taking from Australian. The refugees, who originate from some of the world’s most dangerous countries, have apparently been rejected by the Australian government. Now, lawmakers want to know why these refugees – too dangerous for Papua New Guinea and Nauru – are perfectly welcome inside the United States.
From Fox News:
In a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry, key lawmakers Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., complained about the lack of transparency.
“This situation is concerning for many reasons,” read the letter, charging that “your departments negotiated an international agreement regarding refugees without consulting or notifying Congress.”
The State Department has classified details on the deal, but defended the move in a statement. The United States is proud of its long history as the largest refugee resettlement country in the world,” the department said. “As the President has announced, our refugee resettlement program has grown substantially in the last year.
“The United States has agreed to consider referrals from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) of refugees now residing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea. These refugees are of special interest to UNHCR and we are engaged on a humanitarian basis, as we are in other parts of the world.”
There’s no concrete reason to believe the refugees have any relationship to terrorism, but they are mostly from countries known for Islamic extremism. According to Fox News, U.S. officials confirmed that the refugees were from Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, and Sri Lanka. Others are considered “stateless.”
Just who you want moving in next door, eh?
But hey, most of them are probably just fine. Hell, maybe all of them except one or two. Why not roll the dice…
President Trump should make certain that all refugees are settled in California, probably in the Palo Alto or San Francisco areas. Housing should be purchased in and around Beverly Hills and Santa Monica to accommodate the newest, preferred immigrants.
just a very talented community organizer, organizing more community hate
Jeh Johnson.... I can’t wait for that man to be gone..!
“These refugees are of special interest to UNHCR”
highly trained assassins?
In January you can calls him a has-been (Or, like the current occupant of the disgraced White Hut,) call him a never was.
All these Bozo-appointed nobodies will depart rather quickly in January. If President Trump does the right thing he'll fire all of the U. S. Attorneys!
If Australia rejects them, so should the US. There is a good reason they were rejected. Send them back home...or to North Korea.
“The 8 year nightmare is over.”
Nearly - the first stage of the nightmare. But it’s going to take a long time to clean up the mess, and a lot of damage will be done while we try to clean it up - wiht people blaiming Trump every time something new happens (remember Bush being blamed for 9/11).
You are 100 percent right.
But there’s be nothing left with one more dem term.
We may have JUST made it.
Unemployment is going to shoot up to 8 or even 10 before it goes down again, as jobs appear and people start actively looking and being counted as unemployed.
Lots of murders and rapes and DWIs by illegals before the last one is gone.
And probably a few more terror attacks before that’s under control.
I do not say these things nonchalantly, they are just true.
What a POS this president was.
Muslims, on the other hand, are STILL doing it.
So Australia rejected them because what, Aussies are mean? Australia has their head on their shoulders. No one gets to step on Aussie soil. They get processed outside Australia.
