You don't like the taste of that medicine...do you?
grow up. We will fight this traitors to the brink, after all we have done for them. trillions of tax payer dollars, we deserve more than this insulting policy that puts the lives of American children at risk. Australia should be shamed and so should you.

Did you just call Australians traitors?? They've been fighting by your side in nearly every boondoggle of a war you guys have dreamt up since the end of the second world war. Get your head out of your ass. They owe you nothing.

What trillions of dollars? The relationship is mutually beneficial.

Both countries were settling refugees the other were not able to settle. Australia will no longer take in asylum seekers by boat, so they needed a solution for these people in limbo and they reached an agreement with the US.

It is not a policy. That was it. No more were planning to be swapped.

Australia and the Obama administration are reportedly nearing a deal to help clear each country's extraterritorial refugee centers.
Speculation has been growing about a deal since Sept., when Australia announced at President Barack Obama's global migration summit that it would resettle migrants from U.S.-backed detention camps in Costa Rica in exchange for the U.S. taking in refugees living on Australia's Pacific Islands, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Yes, I believe the poster just did.

I can't believe the idiocy Trump has wrought in a matter of days.

Must be why we hear so many whiny righties whining about his drone use.

I have no respect for this administration. I'm ashamed to be American now. BUT, I know and believe that we are better than this and we will endure. This country will be a shining beacon once again! Unfortunately, the mess this makes will take years to repair. My god, it's amazing how one nasty SOB can F up the reputation of the country so quickly. No, I'm not surprised and that is why I knew this moronic fascist should never of been elected.

PS. I don't care that Clinton lost. I am talking about the present. I understand many of you think I am simply a sore loser. I assure you that I am not. I accept she lost and have moved on.

What's the point of that question?

You haven't, so the "encounters" for everyone else are also few and far between?

Where do you live?

Please, come to the east coast, specifically NY/NJ area.

you also thought Kenya was a top ally because Obama "has family there"

sorry, if I don't take your posts seriously... but don't let that stop you, from making yourself look like a goose.

Nobody wants to take these refugees, I think they should be sent to Canada. Australian people are starting to revolt just the same as USA. Australia is our friend.
