The Australian Refugees
A friend of mine in Australia helped to clarify the issue between President Trump and PM Turnbull over refugees which President Obama decided to take in. It appears our President is not inclined to accept these people without good reason. It appears they will have some trouble coming up with reasons we can understand. Appearently, Australia has a good idea about how to handle some incoming immigrants. They stash them on an island in Papua New Guinea where they can be looked over and vetted until their hearts content. For a country which was founded by prisoners from England, this certainly makes sense. This article explains a little more than I wanted to know: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manus_Regional_Processing_Centre but enough to figure out why a President might think twice about taking these people in.
