Thread: White House says US will take up to 1,250 refugees under Australian deal

The U.S. accepts a limited number of refugees each year. The President in consultation with Congress determines the authorized target for refugee admissions through a Presidential Determination. The U.S. has pledged to resettle 110,000 refugees in 2017.

Trump accuses Australia's prime minister of trying to send US the 'next Boston bombers' in 'worst deal ever'

Trump has scaled that back to 50,000 and Obama had already sent in 25,000 before Trump took office so there's just 25,000 more to go for the year worldwide. This was in President Trump's Executive Orders on Immigration announced last week.

I hope Trump REFUSES them. Start ramping up deportations of the 30 million illegals and Visa overstays.

We want people deported OUT...not bring more IN.

President Trump said today that it could be 1,200, 2,000, or more refugees.

I have my doubts that he will take them. Now every Country in the World will call us up to take THEIR refugees?

Ridiculous...Trump needs to tell them NO, we will not honor this and set the record straight right from the get go.

I read where these "refugees" refused to go to Papua New Guinea or Cambodia...they are ECONOMIC MIGRANTS wanting to go to Australia for the freebies...Australia does NOT want them...so they want to dump them on the USA.

They made this "last minute" deal with Obama as they KNEW he was on the way out the door and this was their last chance to get rid of these people and took advantage of that.

Australia can send them right back to their Country of Origin...and it is NOT the USA.

We are learning more and more every day how many people are being forced into our nation. President Trump is informing us, too.

We must start saying that countries we give funds need to straighten up their messes. Build safe housing and keep people in their own area of the world. This is way beyond "dumb", the word the President has been using.

In order to get assistance from other countries in military efforts, etc., it seems we have been forced to or submitted to their demands for taking huge numbers of people who will unlikely assimilate. They are taking our tax dollars in the billions and pose potential terrorist threats. Language, culture, education level, adherence to laws are often apart from western values and American liberty.

Australia really looks stupid in this. They aren't big and bad enough to figure out what to do with boat people? It's simple, send them back where they came from.

This whole situation makes them look a lot smarter than Obama.
