The AAP via the Herald Sun (News Corp) reports on a deal between the Australian government and the former U.S. administration. Under the arrangement, people seeking asylum in Australia—who have, controversially, been detained in centres on Nauru and on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea—would have been resettled in the United States. However, according to the story, the plan is now in question due to the change in leadership there.
According to The Guardian , "the U.S. could resettle zero refugees from Manus Island and Nauru and still be 'honouring' the deal."

"reason for voting against Clinton was that she was borderline criminal"
There is no borderline there. She is as criminal as they come. More importantly, she wanted to invade Syria. Just what we needed, yet another military morass, but this one we would have been nose-to-nose with the Russians. Uhhhh, no thanks, let's not do that if we can avoid it.
