GOPDD: President Donald Trump Announces Syrian Christian Refugees Will be Given Priority for Entering U.S.

Jan 27, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

0.47% of Syrian refugees coming into the U.S. were Christians in 2016. Trump says that’s about to change…
The number of Christian refugees coming to the US from Syria compared to the number of Muslim refugees is astounding:
As of August 29, 2016, 224 new Syrian refugee arrivals have been reported. That lifts the total this fiscal year to 10,126, of whom 52 or 0.51 percent are Christians; and 9,945 or 98.2 percent, are Sunni Muslims.
The Obama administration’s goal was to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in the fiscal year.
