They are a member of the Commonwealth.
They operate as a parliamentary democracy.
There's only 11,000 of them.
Their state church is Christian.
We will only be offering 280 each year. It would/will take 50 years to get them all here (if they all wanted to come).
We are also helping them bolster the land mass of their capital so that they can remain a nation for those that want to stay.
Are we giving each of the 280 per year $32,000 to get them on their feet? If so, that's less than $9 million.
We're getting an awful lot for $9 million. That's not even a carpark.
