Spero: Two dozen refugees held by Australia are on their way to the United States under a deal worked out by the Obama administration. The first of as many as 1,250 asylum-seekers the Obama administration agreed to accept boarded a flight on Thursday and were head to Los Angeles. The Obama administration concluded what President Donald Trump later called a “dumb deal” to take the mostly-Muslim refugees in exchange for Australia accepting refugees from Central America.
Obama’s ‘dumb deal’
In January, following his inauguration, the contents of a private conversation between Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was revealed by The Washington Post. Trump told Turnbull, “I think it is a horrible deal, a disgusting deal that I would have never made,” adding, “As far as I am concerned, that is enough Malcolm. I have had it.”
The Trump administration announced on Wednesday its plans to reduce the total number of refugees that the U.S. will accept next year to 45,000. Last week, Turnbull said in a video address, “I thank the president and the United States for honoring the deal.” Turnbull added, “Around 50 refugees from [Papua New Guinea] and Nauru will be accepted in this first group.” MORE
I thought Trump put a stop to that. I guess not.
Obama, the gift that keeps giving.
National security leaks, deceit, divisiveness, anarchy and destruction.
No more melting pot. We are now being sectioned up.
Next generation, the melting pot returns as Americans will be accustomed to the guys from Papau New Guinea, that country will start showing up on American family trees.
That’s the Obama legacy.
Not Good.

This makes me furious! A current Preident should be able to undo any stupid or detrimental “agreement” made by a former President. Obozo will curse he USA forever.
There is no reason for us to accept them, deal or no deal. They can be sent back to their original countries just as easily.
obozo lacked the Constitutional qualifications to be president we don’t need any more of Barry’s Bastards.
Vet them and send them to their point of origin.
From what are they “fleeing”? Nordstrom?
What is it about America that every crap country in the world dares to take a crap on us? Bad enough that we have mucho homegrown scumcrappers like the Democraps/Marxists and the NFL/NBA/MLB, etc., that are continually taking a crap on us and on the flag!
Trump did not have to honor this, but since he did he can still vet them before scattering them across the country and send them back to their homelands.
I’ll always support him when he’s right, but will voice my opinion when he’s wrong. If it was a dumb deal when Obama made it, it’s still a dumb deal when Trump does it.
Most imported aliens are capable men, not families of men, women, and children. None of them intend to assimilate, so become enemies within ready and willing to either fight against legitimate Americans, or to be recruited into the military to go to war anywhere the US sends them. These are not peaceful immigrants, but are potentially violent. No-go zones are being established anywhere these men are placed in an American community. Unwanted parasites scheming to take control either politically, or by violence. All this done intentionally by a non-representative US government for years, both party politicians.
This is total BS.
Not allowed to vote for 50 years
Wait.
Was there a time limit on the deal?
We can live up to the deal on favorable terms.
Maybe we can take one a year for 1,250 years.
The Art of the Deal, and all that.
Settle them o one of the Aleutian Islands. After a couple of months they will beg to go home.

If Columbia doesn’t help Australia out of it’s self-created popular propaganda jam, Australia can decide to stop handing over as much of their spying on Americans to Columbian apparatchiks that have been told by the princes of the Columbian courts that they are not allowed to have those toys.
