Australia Dumb Deal News: Over 600 of Australia’s Rejected Asylum Seekers are Now in the US
02/25/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran
I haven’t seen much news lately about the “dumb deal†that Obama made to admit over a thousand asylum seekers that Australia had been holding for years in offshore detention camps, until this story from Saturday.
Of course, even as President Trump described the deal as a “dumb†one, he went along with it supposedly with extreme vetting determining who we would admit and who we would reject.
This story from the Brisbane Times is mostly about how one Rohingya escaped the detention camp and ultimately made it to Canada where he was granted asylum.
