Any refugee that arrives by sea are sent to the prison island, which doesnt make them criminals Only refugees who have undergone a rigorous vetting process — including two interviews with US officials — would be allowed to enter the US under the terms of the agreement, according to Britain’s Guardian newspaper.

But Chump is all knowing and doesn't need our allies help and the intel their network of informants and spies can give us. Instead he'll ask his magic 8 ball
