ABOUT 50 refugees in Australia’s offshore detention centres have passed the United States’ “extreme vetting” and will be resettled in America in coming weeks.

It comes just six weeks before the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea is due to close.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull this morning said it was “good news” that about 25 refugees from both Manus Island and Nauru would be resettled.

Mr Turnbull thanked US President Donald Trump for honouring his deal with the Obama Administration despite his obvious reservations.

The deal had been the subject of their testy phone call in January, just days after the President’s inauguration.

“This is good news,” Mr Turnbull told Channel Seven’s Sunrise program.

“The United States will accept them....

Settle them in East Saint Louis, IL and Camden, NJ. If they don’t like the digs, send them back to Oz.

My definition of those who pass ‘extreme vetting’ are Christians.

50 is nothing compared to 800,000 DACA’s.
Plus it said the 50 were extremely vetted.
Plus permission was asked to accept them,
unlike those who flood our borders without permission
to enter.

Still don’t like this. Remember these people will never be allowed into Australia even if they were refused entry into the US.

Manus is Australian Gitmo!

“The White House has previously confirmed the deal was to resettle 1250 refugees, if they passed the nation’s vetting processes.”

All 1250 of these human refuse are Mooslimb. They are all adult males 20-30 years old. One hundred percent unemployable, to be on welfare all their lives.

Me and you will be stuck with the bill.

These are people who were intercepted trying to reach Australia. They are Australia’s problem, unless they want an equivalent number of illegal aliens.

Should be, but Obama jumped right out and said, “Send them here, I’ve never met a terrorist I didn’t like” or something to that effect.

Trump was screwed over and the AU PM got put into a hard place as he announced the deal during O’s term.
