At the same time, Barack Hussein Obama is trying to bring in up to 200,000 Syrian Muslim so-called 'refugees,' but apparently has decided there is no room in America for 12 Chaldean Christians who are being persecuted and slaughtered in Iraq by ISIS. What's more, Chaldean leaders in the US were advised by the attorneys representing the Christian 'detainees' NOT TO COMMENT on their deportation. Or what? Nearly half of the 27 Iraqi Christians the Obama administration has been holding for the past six months at an ICE detention center in Otay Mesa, California, are set to be deported in coming weeks, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday.

‘Well, would you like to speak to a Spanish language lawyer?’
‘I don't speak Spanish.’
‘Right, umm, go ahead and get on that bus, they'll figure something out.’
So, out of the 25, 12 are being deported. The ones with no documentation. The ones who couldn't prove who they are. I don't have any problem with this.

Lord, Praise You. Thank You for all Your blessings. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. please help those faithful Your Body. please continue to thwart and crush those in power who conspire to harm them and us. In Jesus Holy Name i humbly ask for Your aide for these persecuted iraqi people. Amen.
Of course our Dear Leader would deport Christians. They’re not criminals, and they are trying to come legally. That does not support his plan to destroy America.
I second that!
