U.S. & Australia come to agreement on asylum seekers

CANBERRA, Australia - The United States and Australia are close to announcing a deal in which the U.S. would resettle hundreds of asylum seekers banished by Australia to Pacific island camps, a newspaper reported on Friday. (my note: they are stating the U.S. will be taking 1800 asylum seekers).

The U.S. had agreed to accept up to 1,800 refugees held for up to three years at Australia's expense in camps on the impoverished island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea, The Australian newspaper reported.

Such an agreement struck with the Obama administration could be opposed by President-elect Donald Trump, who has called for a moratorium or tight restrictions on Muslim immigration. Most of the asylum seekers are Muslims from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

The agreement could empty the camps that have been condemned by human rights groups as a cruel abrogation of Australia's responsibilities as a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention.

Refugee applications do not discriminate according to religion unless their religion is the main reason for needing asylum.

95% of the Syrians BO let in are Muslim. - NM

This means it will be easier for terrorists to get into the US through the guise of "seeking asylum." The president is attempting this unilaterally with his mighty pen.

His stand on the issues of illegal immigration and importing "refugees" (nearly anyone can get "refugee" status by this State Department's relaxed rules) would be a sufficient reason in my opinion to vote Trump for President. Others may play their PC games and ignore the stark realities of this issue, but I have grandchildren and will not do so. This is THE number one issue facing America during the coming President's term of office, with the economy second and radical Isla ...

country. Their leadership has been under intense pressure not to let refugees in, many from Muslim Indonesia and Central South America. So Obama had an agreement with Australia to sent them here. Even if asylum seekers are found to be actual refugees, they’re not allowed to be settled in Australia. They’re sent to an offshore processing center. Trump is objecting to this. The rest of the world cannot just dump their problems on us. As far as Mexico, the media just flat out lied. ...

Today the Obama Administration will sign the Paris climate agreement at a ceremony in New York, a move that is projected to severely impact the U.S. economy with ironically negligible impacts for the environment. The agreement will not only set the stage for increased regulation, but will crush U.S. economic output, reduce household income for millions, and likely lead to hundreds of thousands of lost jobs. The agreement is a product of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Con ...

Saw a video by the Iranian Foreign Minister debunking the framework that Obama states is the real deal.

reveal that Iran’s nuclear deal would not only lift constraints on Iran’s nuclear program after the nuclear deal, but it will also do so before the deal expires as it makes it easier for Iran to achieve its nuclear ambitions. According to the secret agreement, the deal would pave the way for Iranian leaders to advance their nuclear capabilities at a higher level and even be capable of reducing the break out capacity from one year to six months long before the nuclear agreement ends. ...
