With Immigrate Power Comes Immigrate Responsibility (from Tony Perkins Washington Update - Family Research Council) With terrorists sweeping through the Middle East (and now Europe), youd think the Obama administration would be a little more cautious in its immigration strategy. Think again. The gates have been wide open to the U.S., where more than 300,000 people from predominately Muslim countries have streamed in at record rates. And now, as the Financial Times notes, under the Presidents amnesty order, the welcome mat is bigger than ever. In our government, which cant even design a functional health care website, the prospect of adequately vetting these newcomers isnt exactly comforting. It took less than 20 radical Muslims to carry out 9/11. Just think of the consequences if our government was successful 999 times out of 1,000. If just a handful of radicals slipped through and organized terrorist activities here on U.S. soil, the consequences would be devastating. Under the student visa deal, if some never show up on college campuses or they overstay their visas, it doesnt matter. Obama is no longer enforcing deportations... Over the 2010-2013 period (when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State), the administration let in an additional 41,094 from war-torn Iraq and 38,644 from Egypt. Meanwhile, hes cut Israeli immigration by 817. The President needs only to look to Paris to see how this open-door policy is working out. And although the White House is rolling out the red carpet for others, wed like to ask the Obama administration this: how many Christians are you letting in? With a new report calling the worlds Christians among the most persecuted of all religious groups, does this same hospitality apply to them too? Anecdotal reports suggest not. In Jordan alone, 20 Christian Iraqi refugees said that they had experienced problems dealing with Muslim intake officers at the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). When a Christian refugee named Jihan Abdulahad went to UNHCR, the Muslim intake officers first question was What is your religion? When Abdulahad said she was a Christian, the officer named Hannan Hamdan refused to look at her documents and said that she would call the woman later to set up on appointment. After waiting five months, Abdulahad went back to UNHCR. According to Bill Murray at the Iraqi Christian Refugee Report, Hannan Hamdan refused to see her. And Abdulahad isnt alone. Men and women of faith may have different backgrounds, but they all share the same story: religious discrimination.
