Perhaps an equally-worthy conversation to have is why Australia is so reticent to accept these refugees, and why they get a pass to from the social justice left.
I think those on the right forget about things like the Battle of Gallipoli back in WWI where the Australian military suffered heavy casualties helping us on the Ottoman front
Oh give me a break. That was the British empire helping itself to the resources of the colonies. The US was not "helped" by WWI.
well you are asking these questions nobody can really answer. I can't blame Australia to be fair and honest.
Obama should never have made such an agreement, but he DID, what should we do now?
Like I said, president Trump will review the agreement and hopefully a deal will be made in the future.
Fact is, most of these refugees are economic migrants. CNN said that many of them are from countries on the travel ban list. To get from the Middle East to Australia they would have crossed Iran, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh at the very least. I cannot believe they could not have found a safe place in any of those countries.
They wanted to go to Australia for economic reasons and they want to come to the USA for the same reasons.

The PM of Australia thought if Hil got in he could screw the US by dumping potential terrorists in America. He had already said it was a done deal in 2016 and is now embarrassed that Trump stood up for America by keeping us safe. Australia learned the hard way...don't confuse Trump with a chump.
Or confuse him with an actual Statesman, or Rational Human Being. Yes, there are lots of things the trump should be no confused with. Amazing that the Idiot cannot get along with our best friends around the world, should be interesting to see how he fairs with our enemies.

Which means there should be no danger waiting for them back home. So why not deport them back to whereever they came from?
Here's one thing I don't understand, these are 'refugees' whose asylum applications have been DENIED by Australia. Why of why would Obama agree to take them in?
I honestly don't think Trump could get out of this.

What the whole world learned was the US will not honor their word, or alliances any longer.
The sooner that idiot leave the WH the sooner US can restore her image.

It looks like the deal is that, The US takes 1,250 refugees that are Australia’s responsibility but are not allowed to come to Australia. In tern Australia takes approximately the same number of refugees/migrants that came through a facility in Costa Rica, migrants the US apparently does not want, for reasons unsaid.
I agree with the bold.
I have no clue why these two countries are "responsible" for refugees.
