“Of those accepted in June, more than 99 percent are Sunni Muslims. Just eight identified themselves as Christian, eight identified as a non-Sunni form of Islam, and one reported having no religious affiliation. Those numbers have drawn criticism because the percentage of Sunni Muslims is far greater than that of the Syrian population as a whole, which is about 75 percent Sunni.”
This is social engineering, not humanitarian relief. Syria was 10% Christian before the war. The Christians have been targeted and persecuted by several jihad groups. The refugees, then, should be at least 10% Christian and probably more than that.
Also, there is simply no way to vet these refugees and screen out jihad terrorists. The Islamic State has instructed its operatives on how to blend in and evade detection. Also, since the Obama administration doesn’t even acknowledge that there is Islamic jihad terrorism, how can it vet refugees and find Islamic jihad terrorists? San Bernardino jihad mass murderer Tashfeen Malik passed five separate background checks from five different government agencies.

June’s numbers set a monthly record for the Homeland Security and State departments, which committed resources received earlier this year to streamline the process — in what critics say amounted to corner-cutting — to get back on track toward Mr. Obama’s political goal.
“I believe we will make the 10,000,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified to Congress on Thursday, assuaging fears of some Democrats that the administration was going to fall short.
