Trump agrees to take Muslim refugees....

[Meclazine for Israel]

........from Australia.

All of 1,800 Iranian and middle eastern muslim refugees are heading your way (plus our dual citizens from the 7 countries are exempt from the order - see bottom link).

Amazingly, Trump has agreed to take them. These refugees did not pass our vetting process with regards to entry into Australia. That is, they are not genuine refugees seeking asylum because of religious persecution.

As such, due to their illegal arrival by boat, they are not entitled to resettlement in this country.

We have a zero tolerance policy on illegal arrivals.

As for the anti-Islamic (but not really anti-Islamic) ban, Priminister Malcolm Turnbull refused to comment on the issue:

Australia has swung drastically to the right following a range of domestic issues with young islamic men from mainly Lebanon.

Our main terrorist attack was from an Iranian nutcase who executed a gay man by shooting him in the back of the head in Martin Place whilst he was on his knees begging for his life.

That could have been any gay man in Sydney. A lot of anti-Islamic feeling came from this incident.

A female lawyer also died in the attack.

And Australians with dual citizenship in these countries are exempt from the ban:

How about... we elected a racist, misogynist, pathologically narcissistic man as president... and we're still not as great as Australia?

FIFY.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Wow.

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!

[Meclazine for Israel]

The whole international community should be shaming Australia, but instead most people have never heard of the issue.

No one wants child refugees drowning at sea. 1,200 people thereabouts drowned at sea in the last left wing phase of government and all of the children in detention are from that era. So you are talking about a policy change that puts 300 children at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

No one is going to reverse the policy and let them in through boat arrival.

The issue has been well sought through.

If illegal boat arrivals know that they will be resettled in Malaysia or Indonesia, Nauru or Manus.

It's also an incredibly popular move once you secure your border.

Labor (left wing) never raise the issue anymore publicly because they know they will get hammered.

So shaming Australia and reversing that policy sends refugee children to their death (by drowning) and puts lives at risk.

Do you think the Indonesian boat captains care about small children from Iran and Iraq when they collect $20,000 each for the illegal boat ride?

[Meclazine for Israel]

So I guess you're keeping these 1,800 people while the president makes Trumbull look weak and an idiot.

Still think Trump is right on this particular issue?

It does not matter what I think of Trump.

But it is now super big news over here:

http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/us-says-trump-will-honour-refugee-deal-as-shorten-demands-answers-20170202-gu3x7e.html

Top story on radio, TV and internet. I think Australian's would be delighted to get some airtime on the world's top Twitter account.

Honestly, we are nowhere near as politically invested as you guys.

That is why we have to come to your political forum to have any chance of a remotely interesting discussion on these issues.

US politics is just Comedy Central at the moment. It writes itself.

[Meclazine for Israel]

We have had no illegal boat arrivals under the Abbot/Turnbull setup.

No children drowning in the Indian Ocean watching their parents drown.

No children in offshore detention since the date of the policy introduction.

No illegal boat arrivals since the policy changed.

It works.

Even Labor are simply debating now which countries should help provide relief with offshore detention.

I agree the conditions are crap, but I am not a fan of children in detention or children drowning at sea.

It needed to change, it did, and it works. It was and still is the most effective immigration policy, and you don't even need a wall.

Once you remove the chance of re-settlement, they dont even try. They queue up with all the legitimate refugees and come in legally.

And no noise from Labor about the issue. So the chances or reversing this policy are long past.

[Meclazine for Israel]

There are still children in offshore detention in awful conditions

Every single child in detention was put there by Labor.

Conditions could be better, no question.

The pre-existing policy resulted in their current situation.

Pushing boats from foreign countries like Indonesia back to Indonesia is a policy that may upset you, but it saves lives. They don't even try to get here now.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Nah, you act pretty pro-

Western Australia is similar to Texas.

We have the largest state. We deal with the illegal immigrant arrivals. We have all the oil. We have cowboys.

So yes, there would be that crossover with someone like JJC.

I would be lying if thought Trump was going about things in the correct manner sometimes, but i give him points for trying.

Anyone who owns a business understands the money driven nature of self-promotion

Give Trumpy 3-6 months and he will be right as rain.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Give Trumpy 3-6 months and he will be right as rain.

regarding what?

The general Trumpiness wont go away, but he will loae that salesman sheen and become more Presidential.

And he does really cool stuff.


President Trump‏ @POTUS
Great meeting with @harleydavidson executives from Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the @WhiteHouse.

[Meclazine for Israel]

They probably will if One Nation gives them preferences.

BUt back to the world of interesting politics. The USA situation needs an intermediary, a diplomat if you will.

May I introduce to you, the Australian Ambassador to the USA, Joe Hockey.

From Malcolm Turnbull....

"We secured the commitment from the US President that we wanted and that we sought, and we thank him for making that commitment," he told Sydney radio station 2SM.

"He's been very critical of the deal but we have persuaded him of sticking to it nonetheless."

[Meclazine for Israel]

THe muslim refugees trapped on Manus and Nauru are headed for USA!

 
Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  14h hours ago
Thank you to Prime Minister of Australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation that FAKE NEWS media lied about. Very nice!

Looks like they kissed and made up, and news this morning is that the immigration deal to export our remaining refugees to the USA is still on.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Trump sent Pence to Australia and it looks like the refugee deal is back on.

Now the refugees on Manus Island are causing issues with the Australian Immigration Minister Peter Dutton suggesting that the Iranian and Afghani refugees have been raping young boys.

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-20/concern-for-5yo-may-have-led-to-manus-shooting-dutton-says/8457962

Raping young boys is common place in Afghanistan, but it looks as though the Papuan Police and Army have been less welcoming of the sexual preferences of some of the older islamic men.

Either way, Australia needs to send these people off our shores. They have not passed our tests for immigration, so now we will send them to the USA.

See if you guys can deal with them. Good luck.

[Meclazine for Israel]

That was pretty funny Badge.

But Australians dont hate Americans. Most Australians love the US, but they always complain about Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

I personally like Ohio and New York up-State.

We are like an extra 6 states to the 50 existing ones.

And it looks like we value that friendship enough to take a nuclear weapon or two for the team.

And what love do we get in return?
