*** If no country will accept them put them on a deserted island somewhere ***

Hey, we’re getting some more from “the prison islands”.

Nearly 200 refugees from Australia’s offshore detention islands of Nauru and Manus will be resettled in the United States in the new year.

The majority of refugees accepted for resettlement in the current group are from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and stateless Rohingyans from Myanmar and Bangladesh.

On Nauru, young men from Afghanistan and Pakistan, who arrived on the island as unaccompanied children but have since reached adulthood, have been accepted for resettlement.

Look on the bright side: if each group is from a different sect, maybe they'll kill each other off.

That’s part of the 1250 Obama agreed to. Remember the big blow up between PDJT and Australia right after he took office? That’s them. If it’s down to 200 from the 1250 that’s decent, maybe there is some hope
