FULL TITLE: Church leaders speak out against Donald Trump's decision to prioritize evangelical refugees as the President confirms his plan in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network Christian leaders have spoken out against Donald Trump's plan to prioritize Christian refugees, as the president confirmed his decision in an interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

The segment, which aired Sunday evening, was taped at the White House Friday, the same day Trump signed an executive order banning Syrian refugees indefinitely and closing US doors to visitors from seven predominantly Muslims countries.

During the interview, the president pledged to give priority to Christians applying for refugee status, saying it had been easier for Muslim people to get into the United States than for Christians. Available evidence, however, shows that the US admitted 37,521 Christian refugees and 38,901 Muslim refugees in 2016.

Trump's CBN interview came after the mogul denied that his executive actions represented a Muslim ban, and while protests took place across the nation against the immigration order.

“Evangelical refugees?”? Whoever used the term “evangelical” is pushing U.S. Christians’ buttons and is a political subversive. They are false men of the cloth, using their Christian position as a disguise for their real purpose: the turning of America into a Marxist state. Look who are opposed to Trump’s initiative:

Reverend Scott Arbeiter, the president of World Relief

Bishop Joe S Vásquez, Chair of the migration committee of the US Conference Of Catholic Bishops. He has common bond with the Catholic social justice lobby called Network.

Jen Smyers, associate director for immigration and refugee policy of Church World Service. Smyers: “This should be a key time for us to show our political power and advance social justice.”

Jenny Yang, World Relief’s senior vice president of advocacy and policy. Receives funds from The Evangelical Immigration Table, a George Soros-financed group. The World Relief Corporation, one of the five Christian non-profit “voluntary agencies” [VOLAGs] are receiving massive payments from the federal government to resettle refugees.
