President Trump Reverses Barack Obama’s Discriminatory Anti-Christian Refugee Policy

No President in US history showed as much hatred and disdain for Christians and Jews as former President Barack Hussein Obama. 

There are multiple examples of this –

His signature bill Obamacare included various articles that were in opposition to the Catholic religion which is against abortion.  The Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic group of nuns whose mission is to provide services to the poor, were sued by Obama and forced to provide abortion drugs in spite of the nuns being against abortion.  Eventually the sisters took Obama to court and had to go all the way to the Supreme Court before they won their case against Obama.

Obama’s immigration policies showed a distinct bias against Christians.  Although 10% of Syrians were Christian and being murdered by ISIS daily, only 2.4% of immigrants into the US were Christian.  At one point in his Presidency he deported persecuted Chaldean Christians fleeing ISIS.

Today America has a new leader – a leader who cares for all people including Christians.

President Trump recently reversed Barack Obama’s discriminatory anti-Christian refugee policy.

By Joseph Klein at Frontpage Magazine:

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.

By contrast, Pew Research Center reported that in fiscal year 2016 – Barack Obama’s last full fiscal year as president – “the U.S. admitted the highest number of Muslim refugees of any year since data on self-reported religious affiliations first became publicly available in 2002.” Overall, the number of Muslims admitted as refugees exceeded the number of Christians who were admitted.
