Nine hundred and thirteen refugees were admitted to the United States during August, the first time the monthly intake has dropped below one thousand in 15 years, and the smallest number of monthly admissions since October 2002.
August’s arrivals followed a pattern evident since the start of the Trump administration – a declining proportion of Muslims in comparison to Christians and adherents of other faiths.
Of the 913 refugees admitted during the month, 551 (60.3 percent) were Christians, with the biggest groups including 185 Pentecostalists from Ukraine and 53 Baptists, also from Ukraine.
A significantly smaller group, 220 (24.1 percent) were Muslims, including 48 Sunnis from Iraq and 47 from Syria.
The remaining 142 (15.5 percent) were unaffiliated or from other religions, and included 43 Buddhists and 36 Hindus, mostly from Bhutan.
In comparison, last January 49 percent of admitted refugees were Muslims and 40 percent were Christians. Over the months since, the proportion of Muslims has generally diminished while the proportion of Christians has grown, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data. …

Winning!
Excellent news.
IMHO 24 percent Muslim is still way too high.
Not only do I neither like nor trust them, I think it’s time for a little reverse discrimination to make up for the deliberate deficit in non-Muslim refugees under Obama. Call it justified affirmative action, if you must.
Good.
Thank you Dear Lord.
So. Much. Winning!
Now, work on lowering that percentage of undesirables to a NEGATIVE, and things will improve even more.
MAGA!
In a Democratic Republic the People
got what they voted for.
IMAGINE THAT!!!!
The best solution to muslim refugees is to stop causing them. Kill ISIS. Stop trying to overthrow people using people worse than them.
Overthrowing Assad might have been a worthy goal, but not if you replace him with Al Qaeda and kill half a million Syrians and wipe out the entire indigenous Christian population to do it.
As it is, ISIS is almost defeated, and people can start going home.
Outstanding! Kick them all out and build the Wall!
It still is a worthy goal. It’s a false dilemma to say that the choice is between Nazi Ba’ath Assad (the Ba’ath Party are national socialist; read their charter) and ISIS/IL/DAESH/whatever. Keeping Assad in there gives Iran an open road to the Mediterranean, too, especially after the Obama-legacy virtual handover of Iraq to Iran.
Not necessarily winning. Smells like they’re all over here.
YAY!!! GO TRUMP!!! MAGA!!!
1 Muslim is too many.
HUGE victory here...pretty much near-zero terrorists coming in, and not many others. I suspect that most of the legitimate Christian refugees would prefer to go back to homes in Syria, particularly with Assad winning there.
So, very quietly, we’ve essentially put an end to that sneaky little opening used by the Left. Next step is to CLEAN UP THE LAWS to get rid of this open-ended crap that we have...so a future Democrat president cannot do what Obama did without legislation first.
Excellent!
Thanks for the ping! We needed some winning today.
Whew. The US DOES stand a chance then against becoming a caliphate. Also notice the US doesn’t copy the insanity of Canada, where we admit over 100,000 refugees each year.
