Trump moves to accept hundreds of refugees from Iran under Obama deal(from Australia)
Washington Times ^ | June 12, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 06/12/2017 11:07:46 AM PDT by sickoflibs

President Trump is preparing to accept hundreds of refugees from Iran and other terrorist-connected countries, taking them from camps being maintained by Australia under a deal his predecessor struck, without putting them through the long vetting that usually takes place, according to a new report being released Monday. Some of the refugees have tried to cleanse their social media presence to try to delete red flags that could cost them their chance to come to the U.S., the Center for Immigration Studies report concludes.

A staggering 88 percent of the refugees have some level of mental illness or disorder, according to a U.N. health inspection last year. And the center’s report documents incidents of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by the refugees on locals.

Australia has been looking for a landing place for the refugees for years, and President Obama agreed to take them. Mr. Trump criticized the “dumb” deal in February, and shared a testy phone call with Australia’s prime minister, but has since relented and is moving quickly to welcome the refugees.

Take them in but keep them in a holding pen/interment camp until each is fully vetted. Those not passing the tests should be drop-shipped somewhere else.

President Trump can’t afford to go wobbly on this or DACA or he will not be re-elected.

Good idea. Put them in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

President Trump will always protect our nation and will not let refugees in, especially those who are not full vetted.

This story is nonsense, not true, just more fake news.

Send them to Chappaqua, New York.

The way Obama sent Somalis to Lewiston, ME, Springfield, MA and other towns.

RE:”President Trump will always protect our nation and will not let refugees in, especially those who are not full vetted.”

Yes, I can see that!
We are 100% safe.

Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly sounded a loud alarm Tuesday over an “unprecedented spike in terrorist travel” including to the U.S., moving to shore up the defense of the administration’s travel ban one day after President Trump’s tweets seemed to undercut his case before the Supreme Court.
The threat from terrorist “foot soldiers” is as great as ever, he said, and they are returning from training in Iraq and Syria home to Europe with orders to attack. Mr. Kelly said he expects some will try to reach the U.S. — but his hands have been tied by the federal courts

Homeland Security sounds alarm over ‘terrorist travel,’ backs up Trump’s case for temporary ban (- The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 6, 2017 )

President Obama screwed President Trump.

But President Trump has no realistic alternative choice in the matter.

A US president, speaking for the nation, made a promise.

Barring a breach of good faith or other mitigating factor by Australia, it falls on President Trumpto keep the promise.

And Manhattan. It’s not like they have the 16 dollars or a car to get to Staten Island :)

And people who get off the ferry and just drift by the ferry get sent away rather quickly.

Then he had better keep them in an internment type camp.....for a long time. Australia didn’t want them......I don’t see why Trump cannot negate Obama’s ‘promise’. I am reminded of when the Senate gave away the Internet because ‘we made a promise and we don’t want to lose our credibility with the other nations’. Yeah, right.

I’ve been on the Trump train from the beginning. I voted for him and I’m glad I did. But this disappoints me. It is just not right to bring these people in.

Is Trump bound by every agreement Obama made? If so, how come he pulled out of the Paris deal? I don’t buy it. I don’t understand it.

This isn’t good, as are some of the other things mentioned here.

I assume you wanted Hillary to win?

Or you though, who, Romney OR mcCain could have done better jobs?

You’re a little too eager and happy to post things that put Trump in a bad light.

That’s a shame.

But it’s a free country.

The rest of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Take a look at what he’s done that is GREAT and stop acting like 8 year olds who don’t get what they want right away.

RE:”The author is a Libtard. “

He doesn't sound open borders or pro-Islamic like some others do, sounds like he opposes that stuff.

We will know when they move next door .

I agree he’d never do this, and if he does he will never have done this.

Hawaii and Washington state have both said welcoming refugees is an obligation. We should put them in Hawaii

“I agree he’d never do this, and if he does he will never have done this.”

I think you are exactly right.
