The U.S. has received 28,957 Muslim refugees so far in fiscal year 2016, or nearly half (46%) of the more than 63,000 refugees who have entered the country since the fiscal year began Oct. 1, 2015, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center. That means that already this year the U.S. has admitted the highest number of Muslim refugees of any year since 2002.
Christians are the second-largest group of refugees to the U.S. so far this fiscal year; 27,556 Christian refugees have entered the country, nearly as many as the number of Muslim refugees. A slightly lower share of 2016’s refugees were Christian (44%) than Muslim, the first time that has happened since fiscal 2006, when a large number of Somali refugees entered the U.S.

I open my arms to any who are in need because God preaches love not hate.
ReplyDeleteWe are allowing these termites into America who will chew on our Constitution and freedoms. So sad. This just shows how the Democrats will sacrifice America just so they can remain in office.

God preaches a lot of different things. There is also a time to fight. A time to make war and a time to make peace. And there are some instances of God hating some things. Like a liar, etc.
There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 ha heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 ja false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who asows discord among brothers.
