Report: Middle East Refugees to Begin Arriving to U.S. from Australia
breitbart ^ | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 10/01/2017 10:58:55 AM PDT by davikkm

The first group of 1,250 mostly male Middle Eastern refugees is expected to soon arrive in the United States from Australia. The transfer of refugees comes after President Trump failed to shutter an Obama-era deal that could bring tens of thousands of the refugees’ family members to the U.S. in years to come. President Barack Obama signed the Australian-U.S. refugee deal during his last months in office — promising to take 1,250 Middle Eastern refugees off Australia’s hands.

The refugees are being held in detention centers on Manus Island and Nauru Island. Despite Trump’s original statement calling the deal “a dumb deal,” the president has now broken two long-promised campaign pledges: Throwing out deals that don’t benefit Americans and stopping the flow of foreign refugees.

According to NPR, roughly 50 foreign refugees are now on their way to the U.S. The other 1,200 are expected to follow soon after.

While the U.S. will have to resettle the 1,250 refugees across communities, Americans will see no benefits to the deal. In exchange for resettling the refugees, roughly 50-60 Central Americans who are currently residing in Costa Rica, will be resettled in Australia.

They may have lied to Obama, but Obama is the one to make the decision. He is the one that promised the U. S. would take them.

Trump honored the promise.

Still don’t want them here.

What is wrong with this picture? Why are first world countries making bad deals to exchange third world miscreants from far away with each other? Send them all home! It’s insane.

What's to study?

Fly them back to the countries they came from. And if they won't say which exactly these countries are, tell them they're going to Afghanistan.

Jeezus. Just do it!

Like most of you I read headlines on various sites like Drudge and others that cover international news. ISIS attacks in Europe have become almost a standing headline there, and today another attack but this time in Canada.

I don’t want that to happen here, but that is what flashes across my mind when I read about “refugees” coming here. The more of these people we allow in, the greater at risk we are for this stuff.

The last I heard, there is plenty of room for these “refugees” in Alaska.

we voted to send the ones we have here HOME, ... NOT to bring more and more and more and more of them IN!

this is the opposite of Winning...

DJT needs to DRAIN THE DAMNED SWAMP, starting with all the Snake Department Nazis/IslamoNazi alligators....and including those that Obama especially snuck or stacked into defense, intelligence, and security agencies

We know why Obama would make the deal — the US is evil and must atone, one world, dilute the traditional American population, etc.

But Trump? I think he’s getting bad advice. Jared and Ivanka?

“For heavens sakes. Puerto Rico owes us 80 billion dollars.

True that.

I also note:

“For heavens sakes. US Gov’t owes 20 TRILLION dollars!

Why? I thought we the people made our views about this quite clear last November.

Correct. But I don’t think he had to honor it.

Reuse, the land North of Tucson, halfway to Phoenix, that was used to Build Japanese Internment Camp in WWII (long gone), under St FDR's orders, to build a new camp to hold all of these “Refugees”.
