Title: President Trump Reverses Obama’s Anti-Christian Refugee Policy
Post by: Millee on July 19, 2017, 02:30:46 pm
 After declaring that Christians have “been horribly treated” by the refugee program under former President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump has reversed the Obama administration’s disgraceful discrimination against Christian refugees.

According to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. State Department refugee data, during the period from January 21, 2017 - President Trump’s first full day in office - through June 30, “9,598 Christian refugees arrived in the U.S., compared with 7,250 Muslim refugees. Christians made up 50% of all refugee arrivals in this period, compared with 38% who are Muslim.”

From April through June 2017, Iraq was “the only Muslim-majority nation among the top six origin countries.” The number of Syrian refugees admitted to the U.S. from January 21, 2017 through June 30, 2017 was 1779. Comparing the number of refugee admissions from Syria for the entire month of January with the entire month of February 2017, the number dropped by nearly half. By June 2017, the number of refugees admitted from Syria was about 26 percent of the already low number of 673 admitted in February.

I give him credit for this, as it appears to be the prudent course for the nation.

I guess those from Guatemala aren't Christian, then?

Reminds me of something my third-grade teacher said to us. She said, “You show me a tropical fruit and I’ll show you a bleep from Guatemala.”
