Obama is trying to sneak in thousands more Muslims before the door closes. And he's trying to get them anywhere he can. If Australia won't take in Muslims, Obama will show up asking the Aussies to send them on over.
The U.S. government has agreed to accept refugees being held in Nauru and Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Sunday. Mr. Turnbull didn’t disclose how many were likely to resettled by the U.S. or on what terms, but he stressed the arrangement wouldn’t be repeated or be extended to asylum seekers not already in the camps.
The conservative government has maintained a tough line on asylum seekers who have sought to cross the dangerous waters between Asia and Australia but has moved to empty the offshore immigration detention centers that critics have called Australia’s “Guantanamo Bay.” Negotiations in recent months with various countries to resettle the refugees became more urgent in April when Papua New Guinea’s highest court ordered the closure of Manus, ruling that hundreds of asylum seekers were being held there illegally on Australia’s behalf.
We’re not even being told the total numbers who will shortly be making their way to our shores, but the Journal notes that two of the camps located on Naru and Manus Islands currently hold a combined total of more than 1,300 of them. And where do these migrants come from? The majority are from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Sri Lanka.
So we don't know how many Muslims Obama has decided to dump on us using this particular method. And it's no doubt only one of the Muslim smuggling measures that he has cooked up.
This is also a blatant effort to sabotage the stated policy of the incoming Trump administration. And Trump's people should make it clear that he will invalidate it on Day 1.
