Trump criticized the Obama administration for its anti-Christian immigration policies. He exposed Obama for allowing Muslims who live in Syria to come to the United States while blocking the Christians in Syria.
I’ve read this before. Is this true?

Yes, its true. The State Department defines as refugees people who are in danger from a legally constituted government. So Christians, being slaughtered by ISIS, are not in danger from Assad or the Iraqi government, thus are not "refugees" as defined by State. ISIS supporters, though, who are being attacked by Assad and the Iraqi government, would be "refugees" and would be allowed entrance to the US.

So, yes, he is precisely correct. Muslims are allowed, Christians are not.

I am not doubting you and this is obscene. I wonder how so many Haitians being allowed refugee status?
