CIS: More on the Australian “dumb deal;” ‘refugee’
deal gets dumber by the day! by

Nayla Rush at the Center for Immigration
Studies has done us all a great service by pulling all the threads
together on the “dumb deal” that could see the US taking over 1,000 ‘refugees’
that Australia does not want to take to its mainland.
Leo Hohmann at World Net Daily summarizes the key points and adds some comments by me
and others: According
to a new report, President Trump is moving forward with a deal made by the Obama
administration to resettle illegal-immigrant boat people whom Australia will
not accept as “refugees” even though they have been classified as such by the
United Nations.
The Trump administration is
reportedly preparing to implement the deal with Australia. Under the terms, the
U.S. will accept hundreds of unwanted Muslims rejected for asylum by the
Aussies in return for several thousand Central American refugees awaiting
resettlement at a U.N. camp in Costa Rica.
The deal was negotiated last summer
by Obama’s Secretary of State, John Kerry. And Trump famously tweeted that he
was going to study the “dumb deal” before accepting it. Now, Trump is reported to be moving
forward with the deal.
There’s only one problem, say
refugee watchdogs. These really aren’t refugees at all.
They are illegal aliens who tried to sneak into Australia, were interdicted at
sea and taken to an off-shore detention center in Papua New Guinea. They
migrated from some of the world’s worst jihadist strongholds – in Afghanistan, Sudan,
Somalia, Iran and Iraq.
The process of resettling these
refugees, mostly men, is “well underway,” immigration analyst Nayla Rush
reports for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies.
“The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) referred for resettlement in the United
States over 850 detainees who were granted refugee status,” Rush writes. “Those
could be admitted by the end of October, after undergoing ‘extreme vetting.’
But, no matter how ‘extreme’ or dependable the vetting (and the data U.S.
officials use to screen these refugees is transmitted from a private
refugee-resettlement contractor), the question remains: Why resettle
Australia’s unwanted refugees in the United States?”
Rush highlights that these
“refugees” are, for the most part, from countries which the Trump
administration is trying to ban travel. “Most also suffer from serious mental
health issues, are not keen on coming to the United States to begin with
(Australia was and still is their preferred destination), and are likely to
have nothing but disdain for President Trump,” she reports.
Continue here, and read Rush’s full report here it is loaded with more details on the “deal.” She has a follow-up here. See the role one of the nine federal refugee
contractors is playing.
The CIS report is so loaded with
nuggets of information, don’t be surprised to see me write about it again in
coming days.
