'Gross injustice': Of 10,000 Syrian refugees to the US, 56 are Christian

Fox News Channel Sep 2, 2016 - The Obama administration hit its goal this week of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees -- yet only a fraction of a percent are Christians, stoking criticism that officials are not doing enough to address their plight in the Middle East.

Of the 10,801 refugees accepted in fiscal 2016 from the war-torn country, 56 are the TRULY PERSECUTED Syrian Christians, or 0.5 percent.

Of course. This way they can continue to be persecuted in America as in Syria. Some traditions are worth preserving. 56 Christians require 10,000 Syrians to persecute them./sarc

Just like her husband and Somalia, Clinton screws the pooch with Obama’s `Arab spring’ and the American people pay the price?
Not gonna happen. Go Trump, win win win.

Just from a purely political standpoint WHY ON EARTH say you’re going to flood the country with more Middle Easterners. I can understand making nice with Muslims to get their vote, but I have to suspect that even most Muslim Americans are not all that crazy about this bunch planting roots here.

About the only thing that comes to mind is that she figured the campaign phase was over and it was time to govern...in other words, even if Americans didn’t like the idea of flooding the country with these people, there was nothing they could do because she was going to win anyway.

The Dems picked a REAL WINNER to run, at least this year.
