Sweet heavens. Telling trump would have been nice but telling the American people would have been even better.

CANBERRA, Australia — The Australian prime minister on Monday confirmed that he did not tell President-elect Donald Trump that the United States had agreed to resettle an unspecified number of refugees languishing at Australia’s expense in Pacific island camps.

In announcing the deal on Sunday, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull would not say whether he had discussed it with Trump during their telephone conversation on Thursday.

“We deal with one administration at a time and you don’t discuss confidential matters with one administration with a future administration,” Turnbull told Nine Network television.

Turnbull could not say whether the refugees would be resettled before the Trump administration takes over on Jan. 20. The numbers and timing would be decided by the United States.

The Obama administration had agreed to resettle refugees among almost 1,300 asylum seekers held at Australia’s expense on the island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea. Another 370 who came to Australia for medical treatment and then refused to return to the islands would also be eligible.

...Most of the asylum seekers are Muslims from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

I can see why the Obama administration suppressed this latest little deal of theirs, but why are we solving Australia's immigrant problems?
