The Obama administration’s “surge” of Syrian refugee admissions approved for resettlement in the United States jumped by 37 percent in April – to 451 from 330 the previous month.
Of those 451, 426 were Sunni Muslims and one was a Christian, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data. The remaining 24 comprised nine Shi’a Muslims, five other Muslims and 10 Yazidis.
The first ten days of May have brought a further 99 admissions, all Sunnis.
President Obama last fall pledged to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in fiscal year 2016. After a slow start – four months into FY2016, only 841 had been admitted – the State Department set up a special refugee “resettlement surge center” in Amman, Jordan in February.
With processing times reduced from approximately 18-24 months to just three months, the pace duly picked up – with a total of 114 Syrian refugee admissions in February climbing to 330 in March and to 451 in April.
The proportion of Christians among the admissions has not increased, however. With the exception of October, when four were admitted, each month this fiscal year has seen just one Christian included among the Syrian refugees entering the U.S.
That makes 11 actual refugees.
And a bunch of terrorist incubators.
Sent them home.
The Orthodox church in my town is hoping to sponsor 15 Syrian Christian families. Looks like it will be a long wait.
Trump’s first major legislation signed into law: Repatriation of all those who came in under executive amnesty to their native countries.

Looks like we have a bad case of discrimination against Christians. I am sure that the ACLU is getting ready to file suit as soon as the Southern Poverty Law Center tells them to.
