Trump Boosts Christian Share of Refugees Up To 71 Percent

28

President Donald Trump boosted the number of Christian refugees to this country from the 50 percent figure in 2016 to 71 percent in 2018.

That demographic shift comes as this same White House has cut the number of resettlements of Muslims by 92 percent.

Obama’s White House was criticized for outright ignoring the atrocities committed on Christians in select spots of the world — particularly in North Korea and in countries with mostly Muslim governments and populations.

Trump, realizing a vow made to voters on the campaign trail, has in a short span of time, rectified that problem and given an open door welcome to Christians seeking refugee status.

More from Breitbart:

President Donald Trump’s administration raised the Christian share of the refugee inflow from under 50 percent in 2016 up to 71 percent in 2018, according to a chart posted by Axios.

The Christian share rose as Muslim refugee resettlement was cut by more than 92 percent compared to former President Obama’s 2016 resettlement total. The Muslim share dropped from 50 percent to 15 percent.

Since the beginning of 2018, Trump’s Department of State has admitted 2,341 Muslim refugees to the United States. In 2016, Obama admitted 30,201 Muslim refugees for settlement across the U.S.

A chart designed by Axios’ Andrew Witherspoon, shows the rising Christian share, as total refugee inflow dropped from 85,994 in 2016 to a little over 21,058 in fiscal year 2018, ending Sept. 30:

Refugee resettlement to the U.S. from countries with known Islamic terrorist problems has greatly dropped, according to Reuters. For example, about 250 Somali refugees have been resettled. At this same time during 2016, under Obama, about 8,300 Somali refugees had been allowed to resettle across the country. This represents a 97 percent decrease in refugee resettlement from Somalia.

As Breitbart News reported, for fiscal year 2019, starting October 1, the Trump administration will not resettle more than 30,000 foreign refugees, the lowest refugee cap in nearly four decades. This is merely a cap for refugee resettlements and does not represent the number of refugees that the administration will resettle.

Officials say refugee settlement in the United States is very expensive. “We can house, feed, and provide medical care for hundreds of thousands more refugees closer to their homes and do so more rapidly than we could possibly do here in the United States,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sept. 17. “The ultimate goal is the best possible care and safety of these people in need, and our approach is designed to achieve this noble objective.”

Since 2000, more than 1.5 million foreign refugees have been resettled across the U.S. since — outpacing the population of Philadelphia.

Additionally, there have been more than 4.1 million legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. from refugee-producing countries since 2000.

Trump is doing the Correct thing.

And the first Muslim democrat president imported 200,000 yearly legal and illegal muslims and
deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to make it to America http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch

And those who dared to help were threatened to shut up and MSM would not cover it !

Thank God!
It’s about time Christians are rescued from MUSLIMS!
Trump gets it! I am sure the Polish President Andrzej Duda, behind closed doors, makes no bones of the danger of Islam. Hopefully FORT TRUMP will happen in Poland! Ideally he should pull OUR troops out of Germany and put them in Poland. Let Merkel get her MUSLIMS EU army together for the final take over. If the German people don’t rise up WHY should our men and women die for them. A war is coming there…. for the few or hopefully the majority that do rise up against the Muslim invasion.

I admit, I have been somewhat disappointed by the president. However, that’s more than likely due to me expecting drastic change(s) overnight. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most patient of lads. However, what he IS accomplishing … against such odds …. is laudable. I continue to ask myself:
What do Left Wingnut Regressives have against the man? Which of his policies are not to be cheered? I simply cannot understand the mindset (if there is a mind) of the Regressives.

Had it out with a friend recently who was constantly badmouthing Trump ; asked him what he had against him. His reply was nothing but opinion and adjectives – ” deranged, insane, psychotic, only a fool would support him “. I countered with my definition of all those things by listing what Obama did while in office – Iran deal, Benghazi cover-up and lies, dividing people along racial lines, discrediting the civil forces ( all good examples of every descriptor he used defining Trump ), and then listed all that Trump said he would do and has followed through on – cancelling the terrible Iran deal, recognizing Jerusalem as capital, bringing back jobs that Obama said couldn’t be done, and bringing North Korea to a meaningful discussion of disarming its WMD’s.
I then challenged him to support his position. He said nothing of substance, reiterated his criticism, and added that he truly believed Trump was the Anti-Christ and would nuke us all. I previously thought this friend had some depth to him. He said he just wanted to drop it and that for the sake of friendship, we should talk no more about it. I find it hard to be laid-back about the times we are facing and to be tolerant towards willful blindness. This friend is far from stupid, yet seemingly questions nothing from the MSM.

The liberals just hate Trump. Some liberal friends even told me: “We hate Trump, but we are right to hate him.” They fall for every single lie from CNN that turns out to be fake news after a couple of days. They wish so much that those lies to be true, that they desperately believe each one of them. They have been doing it for 2 years, every day. Sometimes I point that to them, but they continue the same way.

I have a feeling that MSM puts a lot of otherwise reasonable people in that kind of mood.

I believe both sides are guilty of believing what they want and seek support for their position even to the point of exclusion of opposing opinions. However, the extreme levels of division we see today, that shuts down any debate and resorts to verbal and/or physical violence, while not unprecedented on the world stage, is a new breed on North American soil.
For a couple of decades at least, the political leadership was little more than a change of colors. It was Bush Sr who first openly spoke of a NWO. It was Bush Jr that declared Islam a religion of peace right after 9/11. Obama was their latest puppet incarnate, and had the bitch won ( or really anyone other than Trump ), America would have been stolen from under the feet of every patriot, just as it has been overseas, and as currently is in Canada and Australia.
The insidious nature of this enemy and the demise of western standards, coupled with propaganda and a population turned against itself ( Obama ), has kept most from seeing what is right before their noses. When Trump is out of office, the process will start up again in earnest. There will be no victory for America after that. She will be irrevocably changed, one way or another. I don’t say this lightly nor does it please me to say it. America had one of the most beautiful beginnings a country could have and has stood as a beacon to the world for decades. To see what has happened and to contemplate what will happen to her should bring tears to every patriot’s eye

My best friends are like that, it simply does not matter what lefty politicians do as they blindly support them as they did in the last Ontario provincial election where a great conservative Doug Ford now is bringing our province back from the abyss of the left. Trump is attacked constantly as Joan Baez did at her concert here in Toronto on Tuesday. Good for you for defending Trump as I do.

Remember on the right wing we have Winston Churchill, John A. Macdonald and the American Founding Fathers, on the left we have 261,000,000 dead people.

It’s a phenomenon I observed decades ago. During Watergate I was in High School – my father’s career had taken us literally from the trailer parks to one of the wealthiest zip codes in the nation (just a mile or so from where Dr. Christine Ford lives). Many of my father’s colleagues – all engineers – were flaming Liberal Loonies, which made no sense so I gave the issue a lot of thought. They were using their intelligence to filter out all of the information that would challenge their fantasy world. At the time I did not understand, but thirty years later I was working with government engineers as a regulator and I realized…

they had to defend their fantasy world because it was their fantasies that allowed them to interface with all of their connections and power brokers. If their fantasy was not maintained, their ‘mask’ might slip, and their Leftist masters would destroy them.

I call these folks ‘Pod People’ after Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and their disease is ‘Super Stupidity’ – which is this phenomenon of using one’s intelligence to deny reality and defend their fantasy.

I well recall the Watergate Hearings. The Student Union at the University of Iowa … all kinds of Left Wingnut Regressives watching the hearings, while shouting at the televisions that were blaring. I had little time for watching anything … too dayummed busy … but, when you would ask one of the wingnuts about it … all that they could say was “Nixon’s a crook” … and “Tricky Dicky”.
When queried about why Nixon was a crook, what did he steal(?), there would be this wild glassy eyed stare, followed by squealing “Watergate. Watergate”. When I would respond, OK … Watergate is an apartment/office complex …. what about it?
The response was … “Well, Nixon’s a crook. Watergate. Watergate.”
You cannot make up that kind of stupidity.

When talking with my son about it, he reminded me of the error of equating a learned mind and an intelligent mind. This guy is certainly learned and able to recall information very well, yet his unsubstantiated opinions are just fine with him.
It seems a bit different from what you are describing, but it is the same fantasy realm with the same denial of reality. I honestly thought that a civil challenge of his position would generate a discussion – a ” show me and I’ll show you what we are each missing ” type thing that would have hopefully led to an honest, higher ground.
Good description ” Pod People “. Rebel Media out of Canada, recently had a segment on a university professor’s article in support of ” Antifa “, if you can find it, take a look, it’s about 5min., Pod People exemplar.

Your son made a good point, and he’s right. But it also introduces the tricky definition of ‘learned.’ I assume he meant someone such as your friend – who knows so much that is not true – to borrow a riff from the Gipper. But I’m old enough to see it in reverse. My father and his friends were not ‘learned’ at all in the modern definition. They had all been taught in the hard sciences with very tough old school methods. Therefore, they had to engage in psychological neurotic tricks to stop their brains from going back to the tools and methods they had learned. They had to unlearn the hard-won Western science shoved into their heads at great cost … to believe the lies and nonsense spewing from the font of Liberalism in which they stewed 24/7.

What your son is seeing are folks much like my younger, former colleagues. People a good 20 yrs younger than I, and 40 yrs young than my dad’s generation. …

I was State environmental regulator (where else is a chemical engineer going to get a job?). The Leftists were replacing the Engineering and Scientific staff with ‘Environmental Scientists’ and ‘Health Specialists.’ Translation: Folks who were ‘learned’ in all the Left-wing talking points, but who could not calculate their way out of a paper bag.

People so thick they literally thought dihydrogen monoxide was dangerous, and could not tell the difference between isopropyl alcohol and ethanol, much less the feasibility of 2.5 micron particulate monitoring, or blending contaminated stormwater with municipal sewage treatment … and ‘whiteys’ like me were only kept on board b/c the Quota Quacks literally could not understand the supporting docs written by the consultants.

I cannot count the number of times my colleagues were appalled that I did not know anything about the latest ‘eco’ scams. I was not ‘learned’ from their viewpoint. Between Bush and Gore, I pretty much lost every Liberal friend I had between ’00 and ’08 – and all of them were more ‘learned’ than I am, or could be. I fought too hard for my engineering degrees to start believing arithmetic is a fascist plot, on any of the Left’s other nonsense.

It would seem that you faced the same circumstances your father and his peers faced ; the same purposeful dumbing down passing itself off as equal to or better than the stodginess of hard science, but in your career life you did not bend to the ” new age of enlightenment ” as they unfortunately did.
Even in your time, you had the same solid foundations, the same dedication to the physics and math, yet you chose to remain grounded. That perhaps is a working difference between ” learned ” and ” intelligence “. When the two work together, we have progress, even greatness, but when they don’t, we are all in peril.
Many everyday people have limited themselves when it comes to knowledge ( it would obviously go from one end of the scale to the other ), but in too many instances the biases prevent them from seeing outside of their framework. It’s partly a personality/social thing but it is also more than that ; perhaps we are not so removed from the cave as we would like to think.
In Acts 17:11, the believers at Berea were considered more noble because they desired the truth and would diligently search the scriptures to verify it. They were Jews, and had been raised in the synagogue, yet they set beliefs and bias aside in order to receive the word and to know. Their example should be the template, yet they are considered remarkable because man generally has arrogant tendencies that often blinds him.
