Refugee ‘Religious Test’ ... Federal Law Requires It

National Review ^ | 11.18.15 | by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Obama read the law there is a Religious Test

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Come on. Zero doesn’t obey the laws whether he reads them or not.

[Politicalkiddo]

“...whether he reads them or not.”

He can read?

[Ann Archy]

Good article, Andrew, but I wish this information was written a couple of days ago to BLUNT Obama before he could say anything! As usual, the good guys are a day late and a dollar short.

[V_TWIN]

I got the perfect test.........ham sammich. :)

[BenLurkin]

How about this:

No More “Refugees”

Period

[Read Write Repeat]

No Syrians. I don’t care what religion they are.

There should be a moratorium on legal immigration for at least five years so we can sort out who is here.

We cannot afford to assign a FBI agent to every single immigrant when we take in over one million legal immigrants every year.

It’s like conservatives want to lose elections and grow government every time I read one of these “oh the poor christians!” articles.

If you take out all the Christians from an Arab country, then you get Lebanon all over again.

[plain talk]

it is abject idiocy to suggest that Muslims are facing the same ubiquity and intensity of persecution as Christians.

Well I have yet to see Obama demonstrate that he is very smart.

Rush lead off his show with this article

[Trumpinator]

Someone ask NATO ally, what happened to all the Christians in Anatolia, Turkey? The birthplace of the word that defines the religion of "Christian".

Turkey, where did all your native born Christian populations go?

I like your poster ...but even a simple question ...

why aren’t other Islamic countries accepting the all the Islamic refugees?...

[snarkpup]

Persecution based on religion is merely one factor that can be taken into account.

E.g., the author says:

Under the provision governing asylum (section 1158 of Title 8, U.S. Code), an alien applying for admission must establish that ... religion... was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant.

The actual, unedited text is:

To establish that the applicant is a refugee within the meaning of such section, the applicant must establish that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant.

The full text can be read here:

8 USC 1158: Asylum

Do we have no one, no one at all, watching over these things in government, to protect our nation and 'folks', to know and follow our laws?

It is excruciatingly obvious that Hussein learned COTUS only and primarily to skirt and trash it.

[Ann Archy]

Not until after the fact.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“””Do we have no one, no one at all, watching over these things in government, to protect our nation and ‘folks’, to know and follow our laws?”””

Nope. The Congress Critters and their staff are far too busy campaigning for the next election than to be bothered with holding the Executive Branch accountable.

Besides, it is no fun to be the police.

This religious test has been made very difficult to pass. We take in very few religious refugees, whether they’re Christians fleeing the Middle East, Jews fleeing persecution wherever they are coming from, or religious minorities escaping persecution in the subcontinent.

[Georgia Girl 2]

That kind of kills it for Ofail.
