Trump moves to accept hundreds of refugees from Iran under Obama deal(from Australia)

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.

We’re trading Costa Rican’s for Iranians? Obama and the Leftist Democrats are determined to turn America into a sh#thole.

President Trump will always protect our nation and will not let refugees in, especially those who are not full vetted.

This story is nonsense, not true, just more fake news.


I don’t know if this thread’s article is fake news, but here are 2 more that indicate that there are still refugees being admitted and the catch and release program is continuing...

I don’t usually consider Breitbart or CNS to be fake news.

Unfortunately, the State Department is still letting people in and President Trump has not put a stop to it...yet?! Hope he will.

Catch and Release is still continuing as well.

I hope we don’t have to take these refugees from Australia...however, I don’t dismiss articles that are not pro-Trump as “fake news” just because I don’t like the news.

In the area of border, refugees and DACA, I am not sure I can say we are winning (yet?!).
