0.47% of Syrian refugees coming into the U.S. were Christians in 2016. Trump says that’s about to changeā€¦

Though they are officially ā€œnon-profitā€ organizations, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services, and several other Christian organizations are profiting from lucrative contracts with the federal government to resettle refugees in the United States.

The number of Christian refugees coming to the US from Syria compared to the number of Muslim refugees is astounding: Ā 

As of August 29, 2016, 224 new Syrian refugee arrivals have been reported. That lifts the total this fiscal year to 10,126, of whom 52 or 0.51 percent are Christians; and 9,945 or 98.2 percent, are Sunni Muslims.

The Obama administration’s goal was to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in the fiscal year.

The number of Christians among the 10,000 was less than half of one percent.

Of the 9,902 before Mondayā€™s arrivals, just 47 (0.47 percent) are Christians, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data.

The vast majority of the Syrian refugees permitted to resettle in the United States are Sunni Muslims ā€“ 9,726 of the 9,902, or 98.2 percent. Another 20 are Shiā€™a Muslims, and a further 85 are identified in the data simply as Muslims. –CNS News

Americans can expect to see a dramatic change in those statisticsā€¦

In an exclusive interview President Donald Trump was asked by David Brody of Christian Broadcasting News if he considers it a priority to bring persecuted Christians over to the US from Syria.

Trump responded, “You know, if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very, very tough to get in to. 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.”
