Well when Trump invades Mexico like he is threating to do over drugs, then your really been in for a rough ride, from all sides.

I think his real big problem comes from North Korea, now that is one all country's should be worried about.

Australia's draconian immigration policies. Asylum seekers who reach the country by boat are never settled in Australia proper. Instead, they're sent to Nauru or Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island for "offshore processing."

Right now, there are about 2,000 people between the two islands, including children. The vast majority come from Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq. Many were transported to Australia by smugglers across a treacherous sea route hundreds of miles long. (At least 1,200 people have died trying to make the trip, one study found.

After arrival, the migrants are thoroughly vetted; about 80 percent of those people are legitimate refugees, according to the Australian government. And most have been at a camp for more than a year, living in an immigration limbo. They are unable to leave their camps but also forbidden from settling for good.

Ah the Blunder From Down Under?

They can resettle anywhere that will have them . In addition the aussie govt set up that they could be accepted into various countries (non first world) but the "refugees" mostly would not accept them ;wanting instead to go to a first world country . So in short your "facts" are plain wrong
Australia's policy is tough which is why no one is currently drowning trying to make it here . There is no incentive to try to come here. If you attempt it you can expect nothing but pain . Never mind, simple solution come here using the proper procedure,

Refugees have done nothing good for the people taking them in. Let them fix their own damn country, instead of coming into ours and ruining it like they did to their native country.

We should treat refugees like employees. I'm not hiring someone who won't work, will drain resources, and also may well attack my customers. Any business owner who does so is a fool. And any country taking refugees is equally foolish.

WTP been saying that for a long time, they should have been there protecting there country, and now its over go back and rebuild it, there must be jobs for all of them, perhaps Trump should back that, he's got a bit of money that he could fund it with, Germany has a million to go.

With a million it would soon be rebuilt.

Trump could hire them to build the Wall.

For those who, unlike theWhite House, understand international politics and know how to behave and what to say, the "apology" and faint praise the Press Secretary and the President's tweet, were also humiliating to our PM and to Australia.

The whole approach was patronising and the praise belated. They tried to say that the account of the phone conversation, which must have been leaked by the WH, was now "fake news". And the Press Secretary couldn't pronounce Turnbull's name correctly, saying, again and again, "Trumble". Australians can smell out bullshit a mile away.

The minority of US voters who put these clowns in the WH will live to rue the day. "Making America Great Again" will not work if no-one likes or trusts you. You don't just need to vanquish your enemies, but be trusted by your friends.

Do you believe that your politicians are primarily serving your best interests and the best interests of your fellow Australians?

Do you think us first worlders had anything to do with causing refugee running?

The first world seems to have a guilt habit and want to blame itself for all problems. There were wars in Africa before white men set foot there same with everywhere else.

Right now I think we are better served than the US . I hope things improve , learning curve and all that . It is early days and an issue over protocol is not the main game . We shall see what we see
