Center for Security Policy | The Refugee Resettlement Process is Already Discriminatory<\/a>.<\/p>\nHere are some highlights of his report:<\/p>\n
Christians fleeing religious persecution make up 16-23% of the refugees, but only 2.5% of those being allowed to come into the United States.<\/p>\n
Part of the problem is that a United Nations agency\u2013not American officials\u2013determines who gets to go to America, and Islamic pressure groups have a big influence at the UN.\u00a0 In any event, Christian refugees avoid the UN camps because of many cases of violence against them from the Muslims.<\/p>\n
And the State Department itself is resistant to any efforts to specifically help Christians.\u00a0 A private agency offered to completely fund a program to resettle Assyrian Christians at no cost to taxpayers.\u00a0 That offer was rebuffed by the State Department.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Obama administration has indignantly rejected suggestions that the United States favor Christians and other persecuted religious minorities among the Syrian refugees.\u00a0 But think tanker Kyle Shideler gives evidence that there is already a religious test, one that is stacked against Christians.\u00a0 He documents\u00a0 systematic discrimination against Christian refugees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1281,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,23,24],"tags":[4148,447,4147,2584,4145],"class_list":["post-22637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-government","category-international","category-islam","tag-christian-discrimination","tag-christian-persecution","tag-christian-refugees","tag-state-department","tag-syrian-refugees"],"yoast_head":"\n
