Steve, so what you're really saying is that Australia rolls out a red carpet for Americans with money and severely limit poors from entering. Why are you touting their fear mongering and xenophobic policies?

By the way those refugees on the island aren't allowed on to Australia proper because they didn't pass the vetting process. Wow, these Australians sure are racist for putting their own interests first. Racists!

No they don't. They don't give permanent residence to American retirees. They give temp retirement visas. If you want to move there permanently to retire you need to have some hefty assets you have to prove basically decent wealth.

There never was a surplus. The national debt increased each year. Look it up.

It appears that someone working there screwed the pooch. They made the mistake of thinking they were an actual NEWS source for a minute, rather than a propaganda machine.

Trump could have used Obama’s SOTU speeches word for word and the liberal moonbats would still have screamed that it was racist.

That's because Trump is all talk and no action.
