US halts vetting of Australia’s rejected
asylum seekers, by Ann Corcoran 2/11/17
This is a good sign and perhaps the
way Trump might begin to make progress against the Open Borders Leftwing—just
do what you need to do within the Administration.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm
Turnbull is between a rock and a hard place. But, why should American towns
have to absorb Australia’s rejects?
If you are a new reader and don’t
know about the “dumb deal” Barack Obama made literally within days of Trump’s
unexpected election, the gist of it is that Obama said that the US would
resettle in America over 1,000 migrants who tried to get to Australia by boat
and have since been housed offshore.
Australia doesn’t want to
take them to their mainland, so why should we take them to the US to be placed
without your knowledge in your home towns! (See our previous

From Bloomberg (AP
story): Canberra,
Australia (AP) — U.S. officials stopped screening refugees held on Nauru for
potential resettlement in the United States this week but will return to the
Pacific atoll to continue working toward a deal that President Donald Trump has
condemned as “dumb,” an Australian minister said Thursday.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton
would not say when U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials would return
to Nauru to conduct what Trump describes as “extreme vetting.”
Trump made enhanced screening a condition for agreeing to honor an
Obama administration deal to accept up to 1,250 refugees refused entry into Australia.
Australia pays Nauru and Papua New Guinea to keep more than 2,000 asylum
seekers — mostly from Iran, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in conditions condemned
by rights groups.
U.S. officials were sent to Nauru within days of the deal’s
announcement in November after the U.S. presidential election. But they left
this week with arrangements under a cloud.
