(CNSNews.com) – President Obama said Monday that calls from some quarters for the U.S. to admit only Christian refugees from Syria were “shameful,†yet the reality is that today’s refugee system discriminates, not against Syrian Muslims, but against Christians and other non-Muslim minorities.
Critics say this is because the federal government relies on the United Nations in the refugee application process – and since Syrian Christians are often afraid to register with the U.N., they and other non-Muslims in invariably left out.
Fleeing persecution at the hands of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other jihadist groups, Syrian Christians generally avoid U.N. refugee camps because they are targeted there too.
Most refugees considered for resettlement in the U.S. are referred by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Applications are then handled by one of nine State Department-managed resettlement support centers around the world, a process that includes vetting and interviews by the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and takes an average of 18-24 months. There are occasions when a process can begin without UNHCR referral, but this usually applies in cases of close relatives of refugees already in the U.S.
Of 2,184 Syrian refugees admitted into the U.S. since the Syrian civil war erupted in 2011, only 53 (2.4 percent) have been Christians while 2098 (or 96 percent) have been Muslims, according to State Department statistics updated on Monday.

Almost enough Muslims to fully replace the victims they killed on 9-11
We’ll just inject a few cancer cells into your body, just a couple.
Obama continues with his efforts to salt the US with ISIS sleeper cells and spit on Christians.
Congress sleeps.
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
- Barack Hussein Obama
Any sane person should have expected Obama to side with Muslims and against Christians. He told us he would, and this is one of the rare times I expected him to keep his word.
So the UN decides who we get? How do we then get them?
Governors, lack authority to stop Syrian refugees
The law governing acceptance of refugees, the Refugee Act of 1980, puts authority for admission of refugees in the hands of the president:
Signed by President Jimmy Carter.

I don’t believe any of them are Christians.
Then this will be an interesting fight, because I don’t think these governors are going to give in that easily.
I know relatively little about the process except that it is not designed to serve American interests.
Was it 8 or 10 ISIS members who did the Paris horror? And we’ve already got over 2,000 unvetted Syrians in the country? What could possibly go wrong?

The states should revolt and FORCE Obama to stop them.
RE: So Far: Syrian Refugees in U.S. Include 2,098 Muslims, 53 Christians
How do they verify that the Christians are who they say they are?
The MoHamHead islam teachings will need to be outlawed in the near future...

My guess is those so called refugees already killed most of the Christians.
If just a mere 1% cause problems, that would mean 20 of that 2,000 Syrians could cause problems. That is twice the 8 to 10 killers in Paris.
