(CNSNews.com) – The first six months-plus of the Trump administration have brought a discernible shift in the religious affiliation breakdown of refugees admitted into the United States, with a larger proportion of Christians to Muslims among those resettled.

Most of those who have arrived since President Trump’s inauguration would have begun the application process long before – it can take 18-24 months – but the change is nonetheless striking: More than half of those admitted under Trump (51.2 percent) are Christians, compared to 43.3 percent of those who arrived during the same period one year earlier under President Obama.

At the same time, the proportion of Muslims among the refugees admitted during those two time periods dropped, from 46.7 percent under Obama to 37.6 percent under Trump.

I love the direction this is headed, but how do they know they are Christians? If it's just because they say so (figuring it will help them get in) then it may not be close to the % stated. Most people don't realize that in islam muslims can lie about anything if it advances their faith.

I'd like to see fewer immigrants of all kinds, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
