Swamp beats Trump again.
“Muslim Ban? Tillerson’s State Department STILL Discriminates Against Syrian Christian Refugees,” by Patrick Poole, PJ Media, October 19, 2017:
Since President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the State Department under Rex Tillerson has admitted only 28 Syrian Christian refugees, representing only 1.4 percent of the total. About 10 percent of Syrians are Christian.
This continues a policy of open anti-Christian discrimination established by the Obama administration — which Trump had promised to end.
The State Department’s Refugee Processing Center shows that, of the Syrian refugees admitted during the Trump administration, 1,932 Muslims and only 37 non-Muslims have been admitted. I reported on severaloccasions here at PJ Media last year on the Obama administration’s anti-Christian policy in the midst of the presidential election, when Trump’s call for a moratorium on refugees from terrorist states was being hotly discussed.
Just days after his inauguration in an interview with David Brody of CBN News, President Trump decried the Obama administration’s treatment of Syrian Christians:
DAVID BRODY: Persecuted Christians, we’ve talked about this, the refugees overseas. The refugee program, or the refugee changes you’re looking to make. As it relates to persecuted Christians, do you see them as kind of a priority here?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Yes.
DAVID BRODY: You do?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: They’ve been horribly treated. Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very tough to get into the United States? If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible and the reason that was so unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of everybody but more so the Christians. And I thought it was very, very unfair. So we are going to help them….
Read the rest here.
Jean Terry says
Why aren’t persecuted Christians allowed into the country? They should have top priority. This is a Christian country regardless of what the left wants it to be.
LeftisruiningCanada says
+1 Should have same priority in Canada too. But Justins handlers prefer the others.

You no doubt mean the moslem brotherhood and Soros.

Is it conceivable that those males in positions of control over admissions of migrants into the U.S. would actually prefer an Islamic country with Sharia Law? Perhaps they like the idea of having several wives for sexual pleasure, women they can hire and fire at will — perhaps other aspects of that male-dominant religion also appeal to them? Yet, equally, and more bizarrely, a good proportion of women in the West are also well disposed to Islam. Perhaps they’re all, men and women, just ill-informed in their fool’s paradise. It is very difficult to understand what’s going on here — hatred of a Christianity which, perhaps, has let them down?
Sons of Liberty says
Jean Terry ,… because Barack Hussein Obama and his minions at the US State Department don’t want Christians being allowed into the Country . They only allow a miniscule amount to cover up their plan which is to flood our Country with Muslims. There is no way to defend the percentages under Obama or even today because that is what the ANTI- AMERICAN subversives long entrenched at the State Department want for our Country. First of all it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL in my opinion to ALLOW the United Nations TO DECIDE who can be SELECTED as a REFUGEE . The UN decides who comes to our Country from their refugee camps . We all know the true intentions of the UN and they are 180 degrees opposite of the United States and Patriotic Americans. Does ANYONE think George Washington , Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams or Benjamin Franklin would allow an INTERNATIONAL ENTITY to decide WHO IS SELECTED to come to our Country, ESPECIALLY MUSLIMS ! Read what some of the Founding Fathers had to say about the Muslims .
PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
What a travesty of justice! Syrian and other Middle Eastern Christians are refused entry to USA…while anti-Christian Muslims are admitted entry, in droves!!!
mortimer says
President Trump declared himself in favor of rescuing persecuted Christians. Tillerson works for the president and should do what his boss has instructed him to do.
Tillerson should implement the president’s expressed policy.
b.a. freeman says
they changed the guy at the top (and probably some at slightly lower levels, now that mr. tillerson has been in charge for a while), but mr. obama’s traitors have been burrowing in for 8 years, silencing opposition and firing those who won’t shut up about these pesky christians, so it’s going to take a *lot* longer before they can get rid of the correct people. were i mr. tillerson, i would ask for double my real budget needs, then start putting administrators who entered their positions during the obama years into rooms with nothing to do. they’re mostly civil service and cannot be fired, but they can be idled. every such person should be replaced, at least temporarily, by a civil service employee who will do as instructed; each of the obama administrators should be examined closely, and if found to be honest (as opposed to leftist and not loyal to the constitution), re-instated.
it is imperative that those who are doing all the foot-dragging be sidelined. in a war, cost considerations change drastically; e.g., a nuclear-powered carrier group is only expected to last for a month or so at most before it is destroyed by the enemy. the ships involved cost *billions* of dollars (not to mention the lives of our fellow citizens who are manning them!), but in a war, leaders must change how they view things. in this case, we cannot rid ourselves of our enemies because of civil service laws, so we need to have extra money available to spend to pay them to sit around so that loyal americans can get the job done.
of course, i don’t expect anything like this to happen. very few of mr. trump’s appointees – if any – appear to have any understanding of the danger in which the nation finds itself. they seem to think that this is just a matter of liberals vs. conservatives. unfortunately, the liberals, having been educated by leftists since early childhood, see nothing wrong with obstructing the law or its enforcement so long as the “correct” things happen. they have never been taught that equal enforcement of the law is imperative because we have a government of laws, not men. they do not understand that if laws are only enforced when those enforcing it feel like doing so, the nation is well on the way to dictatorship, since dictatorships of all kinds have no problems twisting the law to the advantage of the rulers.
thus, the trump administration will bumble along, well behind the malevolent left, and without a clue why nothing is changing. meanwhile, the left are closer every day to seizing control of the government. and nothing is going to change.
Sons of Liberty says
Bravo , b.a. freeman ! You have it exactly . My question is WHY can’t we CHANGE the Civil Service laws ? Why can’t we FORCE the Congress to put in place laws that will allow civil servants to be FIRED ?Who says these people ARE ABOVE THE LAW, or some Prima Dona that can do AS THEY PLEASE and to hell with the Country ! If we don’t force Congress to act ,…you are right , WE WILL LOSE OUR FREEDOM ! It has already started with the fact that the ruling class ARE NEVER PROSECUTED , especially if you are a DEMOCRAT ! Look at the REAL Russian collusion story , Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama , Robert Mueller and others allowing the sale of 20% of our Uranium resources to a company controlled by Putin and the Russians ! Do you think any of them WILL BE PROSECUTED ? No…. of course not , those are laws for the working class Americans !
katherine says
It should be obvious by now that Trump has degenerated into a Caretaker President for the Obama administration. Almost a year in power and no overhaul of the US government machinery evidently – the all-crucial State Department is still run by traitors planted by the Muslim ex-President.
Even the White House is controlled by an Obama-vetted general McMaster who is currently employing more Muslim personnel. Trump himself hadn’t the faintest idea who to appoint in the vast organization while his early appointees and dedicated advisors have been dismissed. He still depends on Obama’s men for advise while the lower courts with their Obama-appointed judges screw him at every turn.
Can Trump manage it at all Really ? Perhaps Ted Cruz should start preparing now to lay the groundwork for the next campaign.
Sons of Liberty says
katherine , President Trump is trying but the ESTABLISHMENT GOP people around him and Democrats are blocking him at every turn. McCain put forth McMaster and all the GOP insiders like Reince Priebus told him he would be great and it would build a bridge with McCain . How did that work out with McCain ? President Trump NEEDS to follow HIS INSTINCTS . He was right for our Country when he first announced he was a candidate and I believe he STILL IS . He loves our Country unlike OBAMA who HATED our Country. Ted Cruz does not meet the Constitutional requirement of a NATURAL BORN citizen ! I like him but he does not meet that requirement , which the Founders put in for a REASON ,…think about it…. Barack Hussein Obama would not have been President if that REQUIREMENT HAD BEEN FOLLOWED.
katherine says
OK, I can see that he’s having a great balancing act by trying to stay alive and relevant while needling the hostile establishment whenever a weak spot is exploitable – that’s a war of attrition and time isn’t on his side.
The foundation of the nation’s hostility towards Trump, conservatism and Christianity is meanwhile being gelled by an Absolutely Ridiculous education syllabus imported by Arabist educators . Most US states have not rejected this feudal-era indoctrination menu disguised as a school syllabus.
It was established through a federal agency with the help of ‘contractors’ so the Trump administration has every right to remove it because it weakens the cognitive skills of the coming generations by ignoring American culture and history by prioritizing an alien Islamic mentality. This is about targeting the seed of destruction – Americans are never going to wake up if every generation is being brainwashed from childhood to disrespect the concept of the US.
Simply passing education back to the States is not enough : these pseudo-Madrassas persist : there’s too much inertia . It must be Trumped.
Lydia says
Obvious bias there that is anti-Christian and pro-islam.
Scoreboard:
Swamp – 103
Trump – 0
Someday, some will realize that Trump was never to be trusted and all of this is not just some freak random mystery. Why, oh why…. is Trump not ‘able’ to keep those promises, such as draining the swamp? As one has said already, the swamp is draining Trump instead!
Sons of Liberty says
Lydia , …Do you actually think THAT HILLARY CLINTON would have PUT IN THE MUSLIM BAN on Somalia, Sudan , Libya, Yemen and other countries ? Seriously ? The BAN that Democrats are trying to block with every UNCONSTITUTIONAL Judge’s opinion ! He also is BUILDING THE WALL , prototypes are being constructed now. He has ICE DEPORTING ILLEGAL CRIMINALS EVERYDAY . Give him a chance . Yes he needs to make Tillerson fire the subversives at the State Department but give him a chance. Hillary was going to BRING IN MANY MORE MUSLIMS than EVEN OBAMA.

LeftisruiningCanada says
Yep, you guys, and we in Canada also (can you imagine the damage a Trudeau/Clinton ruled North America would have caused?), dodged the hillary bullet at last election for sure. Mr Trump may not get everything fixed, but it MUST be better than anything she and her team of wackos would have carried out.
Sons of Liberty says
Our PROBLEM lies with CONGRESS ! They are the ONES FUNDING THESE MUSLIM REFUGEES ! CUT OFF the funding ..and you have NO REFUGEES. Put pressure on CONGRESS ,..STOP THE FUNDING . They are debating the NEW BUDGET ,…CALL YOUR SENATORS , and US Representatives BLOCK THE FUNDING to the State Department. Don’t just blame Trump ,..get INVOLVED . I have contacted my Senators and Reps.
EYESOPEN says
The biggest problem by far is that the U.S. is — and HAS, ever since useless Jimmy Carter — allowing the UN to “pick” who gets to come to the U.S. Until that is stopped, we won’t be making ANY progress in getting persecuted Christians and/or white South African (Boer) farmers as refugees.
Susan Hill says
All Syrians are having trouble being admitted to the U.S. Because there are no records to check. Fighting in Syria has destroyed much of the infrastructure, including government building contains document.
Jayell says
Good point. If there are no reliable records how do you verify who is who? And we know that muslims will lie about their religious status to get what they want, just as they’re dishonest everywhere else. You have to sort out your priorities. If the main aim is public safety in the USA and individuals from a certain part of the world are likely to compromise that, then, in the absence of conclusive reliable proof to the contrary, ban the lot, otherwise you’re being downright irrespnsible. It’s the same principle as with all the current airline security; we all get treated like potential criminals because of the few (pretty well exclusively muslim!) psychopaths, and no-one seems to make a big noise about that! What a shame that islam has dragged us all down to this level.

Many Muslims are destroying their papers so that they won’t expose themselves as Jihadists.
Barb G says
Keep in mind too that Tillerson stopped Trump from having the Muslim Brotherhood declared a terrorist organization after Tillerson actually invited a group of them to the White House for a meeting. Obama did the very same thing several times. I think this Tillerson has done business with the Brotherhood in the past, no one knows how many of them he knows personally an considers them friends of his. This guy needs to go and soon. I think Trump knows how dangerous the Brotherhood is but is relying on people like Tillerson to tell him what to do about them. The Brotherhood and all of their front groups are in every state pretending to run charities when in reality they they send the most if not all of the cash donations to Hamas.
John Forbes says
ONLY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC CAN STOP THIS POPULATION & FAITH CHANGE OUT ! START BY BACKING TRUMP & TELLING HIM THAT YOU WANT CHRISTIANS AS WELL !
THEN GET RID OF THE OBAMA DREGS !
THEN SHUT DOWN THE C.A.I.R GROUP & TROT IBRAHIM HOOPER OUT ALONG WITH HIS FALSE PREMISES & then GO AFTER THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD & SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW GROUP !
THIS IS ACTUALLY QUITE A LIST BUT THE EDUCATION SYSTEM & UNIVERSITIES NEED A BIG CLEAN OUT AS WELL !

Muslim Ban? Tillerson’s State Department STILL discriminates against Syrian Christian refugees
…………….
Awful.
