Trump moves to accept hundreds of refugees from Iran under Obama deal(from Australia)
Washington Times ^ | June 12, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

President Trump is preparing to accept hundreds of refugees from Iran and other terrorist-connected countries, taking them from camps being maintained by Australia under a deal his predecessor struck, without putting them through the long vetting that usually takes place, according to a new report being released Monday. Some of the refugees have tried to cleanse their social media presence to try to delete red flags that could cost them their chance to come to the U.S., the Center for Immigration Studies report concludes.

A staggering 88 percent of the refugees have some level of mental illness or disorder, according to a U.N. health inspection last year. And the center’s report documents incidents of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by the refugees on locals.

Australia has been looking for a landing place for the refugees for years, and President Obama agreed to take them. Mr. Trump criticized the “dumb” deal in February, and shared a testy phone call with Australia’s prime minister, but has since relented and is moving quickly to welcome the refugees.

Here's the actual report, including footnotes, from the Center for Immigration Studies.

U.S.-Australia Refugee Resettlement Deal Is Underway: Did Trump conclude it wasn't such a "dumb deal" after all?

Why would President Trump do that? He’s been burning the midnight oil trying to UN-do everything Obammy did. Doesn’t make any sense to me.

While I am of in favor of invoices immigration, Iranians are generally productive and law-abiding people. I would much rather have them as neighbors than people from most other Middle East and South Asian locales.

How about Jackson, WY, where they took down Trump’s picture in city hall?
They’ll love the WY winter I bet!
Or send them all to Guantanamo and vet them for 20-30 more years. Can’t be too careful.

Maybe he can place all of them within a half mile of the homes of the judges who won’t allow us to vet immigrants?

So you are overlooking Hillary's defacto "pardon"?

No, 99% is for liberals. Muslim hardliners are only 88%.
