Our friendship with Australia will survive one heated phone call

Australia is one of America's closest allies, a partner in intelligence and anti-terrorism, a military ally, who has stood with us shoulder-to-shoulder in every war we've fought since World War I.

But people are panicking, and are suggesting that Australia is now going to throw themselves into the arms of Communist China because of one heated phone call with Donald Trump.

But we're taking the refugees...

Trump just had to let people know that he thought it was a pretty raw deal, and he was only going through with it because the United States honors its promises.

Our allies need to know that President Trump puts the U.S. before foreign interests.

No worries mate about them and China. ...

Several years ago Australia tried to align itself with the surrounding pacific countries in a business and trade block.

Australia was told quite bluntly, they weren't Asian, and to basically "F" off. ....

Which one was that?

And will sell them down the river without a moment's thought. I agree.

Trump should not let those jihadists into this country. Send them back where they came from.

Australia's immigration problems are worse than ours, because they are a tiny white country in an ocean literally surrounded by billions of non-white people. Therefore, they have very strict policies not to allow any refugees who come by sea, and they put them in detention camps on remote islands that are basically death camps in all but name. Obama did a big solid to Australia taking these refugees off the Prime Minister's hands, because politically, he could not survive if he started letting brown and yellow refugees in to the country.

So we have to take in 1250 slices of human garbage (terrorist embedded) so some Aussie POS can keep his cushy job. Got it. At $48K/refugee/yr cost for how long? Screw BO and his crap deals...

Even after reading the link you still don't get it. It's people arriving by boat that offends Australia's paranoia much more than their skin colour, even though Australia has a fair degree of racism both casual and intentional.

Australia's humanitarian intake has remained relatively steady over the last 20 years, with around 12,000 to 13,000 people typically accepted every year.

In 2015-16, Australia accepted 13,750 people through its humanitarian programme and has committed to accepting an additional 12,000 refugees fleeing Syria and Iraq.
