Aussie Libs want US to take families, by

Not one word in The Guardian story about whether the US has any say in this!
Not one word in The Guardian story about whether the US has any say in this!
Let
me say at the outset that the Australia deal struck by the Obama Administration
in its waning months is dumber than dumb and Donald Trump should have followed
his first instincts and cancelled the whole thing (as even the Australians
suspected he would) and been done with it in February of 2017.
Here
we see that Australian immigration official Peter Dutton is being blamed for not allowing an Afghan family (who
attempted to break in to Australia illegally) that have been split between the
mainland and offshore detention to apply to come to the US. Dutton’s call to rethink the 1951 UN
Refugee Convention has to make the No Borders agitators crazy! Out to get
him now for sure!
I
believe the US State Department has already said that we aren’t taking extended
families of the detainees (so far 220 of Australia’s rejects, mostly Muslim
men, have been airlifted to Your Town, USA!).
For new readers, Australia had such an awful problem with boat people attempting to
break in to their country that they made a new policy. Anyone breaking in
would be detained in offshore detention facilities and would never be admitted
to the mainland. That was about 5 years ago and they are sticking to the
policy. However! Lefties in Australia have been beating up the government
ever since, so they found a way to wiggle out—thanks to Obama—by sending those
they won’t grant refugee status to America!
The Guardian: Dutton urged to allow refugee families
in Australia to apply for US resettlement. Split up refugee families stuck in limbo because
of Australian government policy could be reunited if Peter Dutton let them
apply for US resettlement from Australia, the opposition has said.
The
comment follows revelations by Guardian Australia that a family of four had
been split between Nauru and Australia since 2014.
Australian
Border Force has told the 27-year-old daughter on Nauru that they could be
reunited but only if her mother and sister returned to the island. The mother
is in Australia confined to a wheelchair and awaiting surgery, and doctors have
said she cannot go back.
While
the mother and one daughter are in Australia they cannot apply for resettlement
in the US, offered under a deal struck between the Australian government and
the Obama administration. More
than 220 have been resettled, out of a promise of “up to 1,200”.
By
the way, something must have slowed the flow to the US. Last report was over a month ago. Wonder what that
is all about!
“Labor strongly supports the US refugee resettlement agreement and wants
all eligible refugees – including those in Australia for medical treatment – to
have the opportunity to apply for resettlement in the US,” the shadow minister
for immigration, Shayne Neumann, said.
“The long-term issue of asylum seekers from Manus Island and Nauru in
Australia could have been avoided entirely if Peter Dutton simply allowed
eligible refugees in Australia the opportunity to apply to resettle in the
United States.” Nuts!
No offense to Dutton, but the US gets some say in this! More here.
Asylum shopping!
Follow links back and see that this family with its health issues (including
mental health issues) would be a huge burden on US taxpayers! Legitimate
refugees are to ask for asylum in the first safe country they enter, however,
the whole system has been perverted and that is why the 1951 UN Refugee
Convention should be trashed.
I
have dozens of posts on the Australia “dumb” deal, click here to learn more. Don’t miss Dutton calls
for reconsideration of outdated 1951 UN Refugee Convention, here. Contact the White House! Tell the President to cut it off now. 220 is too many
already!
