The administration admitted a total of 12,587 Syrian refugees during the just-ended fiscal year, exceeding the target President Obama declared last fall by 2,587 (20.5 percent).
Of the 12,587, the vast majority are Sunni Muslims – 12,363 (98.2 percent) – while another 103 are identified in State Department Refugee Processing Center data simply as Muslims and a further 20 as Shi’a Muslims.
Sixty-eight of the 12,587 Syrian refugees (0.5 percent) are Christians. They comprise 16 Catholics, eight Orthodox, five Protestants, four Jehovah’s Witnesses, one Greek Orthodox, and 34 refugees self-identified simply as Christians.
...
When the conflict began in 2011, an estimated 10 percent of the Syrian population (1.5-1.7 million) was Christian and 74 percent was Sunni Muslim.
In contrast, Christians accounted for just half of one percent of the refugees resettled in the United States in FY 2016, while Sunnis accounted for 98.2 percent.
Obama, the "Christian", has focused heavily on bringing Muslims here. Does anyone believe he is really a Christian?
He exceeded the original plan of 10,000 by over 20%. I guess he has been doing more than playing golf.

The refugees are referred to US by United Nations High Commissioner, and so far nearly 70% have been kids.

What percentage of the applicants where Christians and how many were rejected by US? That is really the only thing that matters.
PS. The applicants are referred to US by United Nations High Commissioner and nearly 70% have been kids. I am not sure that a religious test would be a good idea.
Is Obama setting the stage to ensure an epic FAIL of the next President be it Trump or Hillary?
The next President is going to face a myriad of problems.
The news hasn't talked about this in months but we still have an unsecure Southern border that has been seeing an uptick in illegals swarming through since the word got out that Trump actually has a chance to win.
More and more barely vetted muslims from dangerous areas of the world where many chant death to America in their prayers.
A race war in our cities where riots ensue if a cop shoots a black guy whether he deserved it or not.
Obama signed away control of the internet to a foreign group which took affect Saturday night. Why?
I'm sure I missed some major things that Obama has done to fundamentally change America and knock it off its perch of exceptionalism.
Bringing in thousands of people who are so opposed to our way of life is not going to end well.

Why are we taking so many children from their homelands? Why are we responsible for the worlds lost children? Now they're saying the border is being flooded with children from Central America......we can't even take care of our own US children and now we have many, many more thanks to the churches ushering them in, also!
