"It is well‐documented that refugees to the United States are not
representative of that war‐torn area of the world. Perhaps 10 percent of the
population of Syria is Christian, and yet less than one‐half of 1 percent of
Syrian refugees admitted to the United States this year are Christian ...There
has not been a good explanation for this perplexing discrepancy." -Judge Daniel
Manion

"It is well‐documented that refugees to the United States are not
representative of that war‐torn area of the world. Perhaps 10 percent of the
population of Syria is Christian, and yet less than one‐half of 1 percent of
Syrian refugees admitted to the United States this year are Christian," Judge
Daniel Manion wrote.
Manion took aim at Obama's policy in a 7th U.S. Court of Appeals opinion on a
lawsuit filed by the Heartland Alliance's National Immigrant Justice Center. The
group advocates for immigrants and those fleeing violence from their home
countries.

In 2016 alone, some 11,000
Syrian refugees have entered the United States, only 56 were Christians,
according to data produced by the Refugee Processing Center.
The number of Syrian Christian refugees being allowed into the country are
vastly disproportionate to Syria's Christian population. So far, between 500,000
and 1 million Christians have fled the violence or were murdered.
Manion said the statistics "suggest that any refugee group is more or less
welcome" but there is an obvious problem with the number of Christians being let
in.
