Is not equality so far, Christians refugees has been left out.
This month only 9 refugees, or 0.38 percent, were not Muslim. That brings the fiscal year's total to 32 non-Muslim Syrian refugees, or 0.62 percent, 17 of whom are Christians.
The State Department is now 4,814 refugees shy of its goal, which it could accomplish in mid-August if it continues at the current rate.
So far the majority has been Muslim refugees getting the asylum and growing.

Yes we should because we already have enough Muslim refugees lets give a break to the none Muslim and Christians now.
Don't you agree, we are after all a nation of equal opportunity for all.

I feel that when it comes to the realities of what is really happening in the US for the last 7 years of Muslim immigrations in the form of refugees, it seems that I am beating the drum and nobody seems to listen, actually talking about the discrepancies of such migration is deem to be taboo.
But the numbers are a big example of how for the last 7 years the priorities are toward one sector rather than all sectors.
If you want to change the make over of a nation and can not do it alone with the established population you just bring and influx of immigrants refugees and within a short amount of time the host nation will never be the same again.
I call that an agenda.

We already have millions of Muslim refugees in the US, we don't need anymore, or you just want to push the rhetoric, I already posted in the discrepancy on the religious side of it.
The tax payers have been paying for the refugees needs for years.
According to U.S. Census Data, the United States admits roughly 100,000 Muslim immigrants legally each year, representing the fastest growing block of immigration into the United States. Tennessee, in fact, is home to one of the fastest growing immigrant populations in the country, causing the President to give a recent speech there in favor of expansive immigration. The Mayor of Nashville has launched a New American Advisory Council to help facilitate the legally-sanctioned transition from the previous inhabitants of Nashville to the new ones.
Pew Research has estimated that immigration will cause the population of U.S. Muslims to more than double over the next two decades—from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030. This demographic change is entirely the product of legal admissions–that is, it is a formal policy of the federal government adopted by Congress.
Another major source of Middle Eastern immigration into the United States is done through our nation’s refugee program. Every year the United Stated admits 70,000 asylees and refugees. Arabic is the most common language spoken by refugees, and 91.4 percent of refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps.
we are taking then as refugees since 1965,

Refugee crisis: Why aren't Gulf states taking them in?
They've risked their lives to escape war in Syria. Most of Europe has struggled to deal with their masses, and has at least tried to answer a humanitarian call of a magnitude not seen since World War II.
But no Syrian refugees have been resettled in Persian Gulf nations like Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, countries with significant financial and political interest in Syria.
"Other countries need to do more," tweeted Nadim Houry, Human Rights Watch deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa. He called those wealthy countries' inaction on the Syrian refugee crisis "shameful."
The U.N. has been direct. It wants all nations which are developed to open their borders.
It's more than a matter of generosity; it's also practical, some argue. Gulf citizens have much in common with Syrians. They speak Arabic, like most Syrians. And those states are wealthier than many countries, such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, that have accepted refugees.
Some say Saudi Arabia and Qatar have an obligation to help victims of a war in which those nations have been involved through their financial support of rebel groups that have fought Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Gulf states are hesitant to welcome refugees because they are concerned about what it would mean for their nations' security, said Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, a retired professor from United Arab Emirates University.
He told CNN that there's a belief that accepting Syrians who are fleeing ISIS only appeases the terror group. It would feed "into the violence in the region, which is already the most violent region on Earth," he said.
The Gulf states are the most stable nations in the region, he explained, and getting too involved could risk that.
