I thought this deal was dead. 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. Refugee resettlement expert Ann Corcoran previously told Breitbart Texas that the move by Trump to follow through with the deal is one of the “worst” decisions he has made during the first six months of his presidency. “On the surface, this is a purely insane thing,” Corcoran said at the time. “We have never done anything like this.” “This is probably the worst deal I’ve seen within the last 10 years by the refugee resettlement program,” Corcoran continued. The so-called refugees are actually illegal aliens in Australia who traveled to the country under the previous government which enforced a strict immigration policy that made sure the refugees would never be released from detention. According to extensive research from migration expert Nayla Rush, 850 refugees on Manus Island are men, while more than half of the refugees on Nauru Island are men as well. Rush’s research concluded that the refugees are primarily from Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iran. Although some of these countries are included in Trump’s travel ban, the Australian government has confirmed that the refugee deal will be exempt from the travel ban guidelines. Corcoran has said the refugees the U.S. will have to resettle in American neighborhoods have a history of rioting and violence. In 2016, after Faysal Ishak Ahmed died of an illness at the Manus Island detention center, the refugees started a riot, Reuters reported at the time. Iranian refugee Behrouz Boochani posted a picture of what he and other refugees had done to the Manus Island facilities. This was not the first time the refugees rioted and became violent at the detention centers. Back in 2014, the Manus Island refugees led a riot that left one dead and another 60 injured, as ABC News reported at the time. An independent report that investigated the refugees’ riots found that the destruction occurred after the groups of mostly Middle Eastern men were angered over their detention, despite being warned not to enter Australia illegally: They began on Sunday, February 16 when asylum seekers were given answers to their questions about how soon their claims would be processed, and where they would be resettled if deemed refugees. “The transferees’ frustration and anger following that meeting resulted in disruption and violence in Oscar compound that evening and noisy protests,” the report said. That night, about 35 asylum seekers tried to escape from the Oscar compound when the gates were opened for dinner delivery, but were caught by guards. Corcoran has said that unlike what mainstream media reports claim, the refugees are not vulnerable foreign nationals fleeing destruction, but in fact, destructors themselves that could wreak havoc on the U.S. region where they are resettled. “Some unfortunate communities in America are going to get single men who have been in detention for years,” Corcoran said. “They will be literally free when they get here.” “An American community is going to get 20 of these young Muslim men who illegally crossed into another country and we get nothing from this,” Corcoran said. On the Nauru Island, about 125 refugees went as far as to burn down the majority of the detention center where they were being housed by the Australian government, as the Guardian reported at the time. In this incident, the refugees started a fire that took out $55 million worth of damage, destroying medical centers and accommodation blocks after attempting to break out of the detention center. The majority were from Iran, Palestine, Iraq, and Lebanon. Most recently, a Sri Lankan refugee on Manus Island was charged with raping a 19-year-old Australian native, taking her to a local hotel and raping a total of three times, according to ABC News. At the time of the incident, Manus Island Police spokesman David Yapu said “the victim suffered pain and was heavily bleeding.” After the refugees are resettled in the U.S. in the next fiscal year, the families of those refugees will get priority migration status to either come to America as refugees as well, or come as legal immigrants through the current immigration system which is based on family chain migration. http://www.breitbart.com/texas...o-us-from-australia/ | ||

Yeah, something like that. What a colossally bad deal for America. Fuck you, Obama. This is your handiwork. Is there some legal situation that literally prevents Trump from reversing this? Why, on earth, sincerely, would President Trump allow this if he could stop it? What possible upside is there for America, or what debt or favor is owed to Australia, to warrant this cluster fuck? What clever strategy, precedent, or law is behind this ridiculous burden? President Trump is not stupid, nor one who would generally support this, so there must be a reason... but what is it? | |||

You can see why it would be very difficult for Trump to refuse a good ally like Australia. This is on Obama start to finish. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

No, not really. I've had good friends over the years who have suffered problems, yet it never seemed appropriate or smart for me to take on their problems. We're (the US) assuming a huge amount of risk and costs associated with this filth transfer, for zero benefit, other than maybe stroking an ally. Absolutely it is, but President Trump could have killed this cluster of a deal with the stroke of his pen, or a simple Twitter post. I for one would love to know why he didn't. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Likely for the simple reason that America made a deal with an ally, and Trump feels obligated to honor it. I don't think it goes much deeper than that. Obama screwed all of us and dropped a turd sandwich in President Trump's lap, but like it or not, the US gave her word, so now we all get to eat it.

Thanks to Obama, the U.S. had already agreed to take on the problem to this extent. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
