The United States has confirmed it will be going through with a migrant resettlement plan made with Australia. US President Donald Trump once called the deal, which was agreed under his predecessor, "dumb". The agreement allows for up to 1,250 asylum seekers to Australia to resettle in the US. In return, Mr Turnbull's administration has agreed to resettle people from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador who have sought asylum in the US. The deal would be honoured but not necessarily admired, visiting Vice-President Mike Pence said after talks with Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull. Australia has controversially refused to accept the asylum seekers, most of whom are men from Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq, and instead holds them in offshore detention centres on the Pacific nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

Good idea !
Thing aren’t bad enough now that we have to take more MS-13
jamoaks.
Exactly. Which means they won’t be accepted but returned.
IIRC Australia doesn’t accept boat people from outlying countries, which is to discourage illegal immigration. What a concept, eh?
The US apparently doesn't have the authority to send Guatemalan asylum seekers back to Guatemala. But they DO have the authority to trade them to Australia for some Iranians.
So what's the going rate for Iranians now, anyway? More, or less than Guatemalans? If we're gonna trade people like cattle, wanna make sure we get a good deal.
What about transportation? Will they be traveling by ship?
I want to scream.
Transport them using 747 cargo planes (no windows) land them in a sandy new housing area in Syria put up a walmart and 7-11 and call it Hawaii. Put them all to work building new housing for future transfers.
So we get ISIS and they get MS-13. How about we agree to SEND THEM ALL BACK?
