Donald Trump, please try to stop this now! We are
about to take 1,800 failed asylum seekers that Australia has rejected, by Ann Corcoran 11/12/16
When I
wrote about this the other day, I didn’t really think our Department of State could be
serious, but obviously the Obama Administration is going to shove it down our
throats! How many more outrages will we see regarding refugees before January
20th when Donald Trump will be setting US immigration policy?
Watch the 2013
news about the asylum seekers, angry with Australia and the slow processing of
their claims, burn down the asylum center. Link here if this doesn’t

German press (Deutsche Welle)
is reporting that we are going to transform Australia’s failed asylum seekers,
mostly Muslims, into legitimate refugees bound for Anytown, USA.
I would like to
know, from the ‘brains’ at the US State Department, how these 1,800 boat people
were vetted. And, most of all, why Australia turned them down!
Deutsche
Welle: The US has agreed
to accept 1,800 refugees held at Australian-funded camps in Nauru and Papua New
Guinea, according to media reports. Human rights groups have criticized
the conditions in the camps. [What?
And, that means because conditions are supposedly bad in an Australian camp,
its inhabitants become our problem!—ed]
The Australian
newspaper reported on Friday that the US and Australia were close to announcing
an agreement for up to 1,800 mainly Muslim refugees from the Middle East,
Africa and Asia on the island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
Prime Minster
Malcolm Turnbull declined to comment on negotiations with the US. “There’s
always speculation about these things” Turnbull said on Melbourne Radio. “And
we never comment on them.”
An agreement
struck with the administration of President Barack Obama could be opposed by
his successor, Donald Trump who has called for tight restrictions on Muslim
immigration into the US.
Human rights
groups have condemned the conditions in the camps which they have condemned as
an abrogation of Australia’s responsibilities as a signatory to the United
Nations Refugee Convention. There have been street protests over the treatment
of the refugees (photo).
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said this
week he was looking for countries that would accept all asylum seekers bound
for Australia, including those who have had their refugee claims rejected, but
who refuse to go home.
Donald Trump
really can’t do anything yet, but your Washington reps can!
Call your US Senators
and member of Congress!
I’ve been
preaching for weeks/months that there is only one place right now (before
January 20th) where you can have an impact if you choose to do the work!
That is Congress.
Call your representatives in Washington on
Monday (they should be back to work on Tuesday, but their staffs should be
working) and complain about this outrage. Use it as an example of how out
of control the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program is.
Tell your
representatives to call the US State Department (the Asst. Secretary of State
for Population, Refugees and Migration) to put a halt to this sheer insanity!
And, while you
are at it, tell your members of Congress to DEFUND
the RAP in the FY2017
budget that will be before them beginning on Tuesday.

These Muslim
refugees have torn up every camp they’ve been in. They need to be returned to
their home countries.
