Cruz OK’s Syrian Refugees, But Only If They’re Christian

“There is no meaningful risk of Christians committing acts of terror”, Cruz said Sunday according to the Washington Post, apparently ignorant to the many documented instances of violent terrorism recently committed by Christians, or at least by non-Muslims.

“But it is precisely the Obama administration’s unwillingness to recognize that or ask those questions that makes them so unable to fight this enemy”. At his news conference in Turkey on Monday after the G-20 conference, Obama became defensive.

“But I don’t think we should eliminate our support for refugees”. He said he would not resettle Syrian refugees in America, as they could be a “Trojan horse” for Islamic terrorists, according to The NY Times. “If Ryan will not lead and reject the importation of those fleeing the Middle East without assurances that we can separate refugees from terrorists, then Speaker Ryan needs to step down today and let someone else lead”, he said, according to Politico. That’s been the history of the United States. “We should continue to do so”, he said. “We have to continue to be vigilant to make sure those coming are not affiliated with the terrorists, but we can do that”.

“We’ve seen a number of things change”.

Obama says the people fleeing Syria are the ones that are more harmed by terrorism.

France, with a population about one-fifth that of the United States, despite the worst attack on its soil since World War II, will accept 30,000 refugees. “So what does President Obama and Hillary Clinton want to do? Bring tens of thousands of them to America and put them here”.

Florida senator and presidential hopeful Marco Rubio, whose parents emigrated from Cuba, also departed from George W Bush’s framework in a video released by his campaign after the Paris attacks. “Call up the Syrian government and say, ‘Hey, by the way, is this guy a terrorist?'” The problem is we don’t know if they’re Christian or not and I would certainly say that would be superior, but we don’t know if they’re Christian or not.

Cruz was asked by a woman here if Congress could halt immigration for two years.

Aside from the obvious-or to use Obama’s own word, “shameful”-pro-Muslim, anti-Christian bias evident in these statistics, there are a number of other troubling factors as well”. “That’s not American. That’s not who we are”.

All the other Republican presidential candidates have either stated refugees from Syria should not be admitted into the U.S.at all, or that the process should be suspended until proper vetting and security safeguards can be implemented. The governors’ opinion, fueled by politics not compassion, really doesn’t matter; the acceptance and relocation of refugees fleeing oppression is a federal not a state issue. “We’re saddened and shocked about what happened in Paris”, said Matthew Soerens, spokesman for World Relief, the association’s humanitarian arm.

When persecuted Coptic Christians planned on joining Egypt’s anti-Muslim Brotherhood revolution of 2013, the US said no. However, after the Paris terrorist attacks on November 13, considerable backlash to allowing refugees in has mounted and faces fierce public and political opposition. He would create a database of Muslims in the USA, perhaps close Mosques and possibly have Muslim wear special I.Ds. “What I’d like is build a safe zone, it’s here, build a big attractive safe zone and you have whatever it is so people can live, and they’ll be happier”.

Paulette Heckman of Florence said she believes the situation in Syria is creating a humanitarian crisis and feels sympathy for those fleeing. She pointed out that since the refugee program for Central American minors was established a year ago, the United States has yet to admit one child. We should have a religious test and that only Christians, proven Christians should be admitted.
