When I hear folks say that maybe we should just admit the Christians, but not the Muslims, when I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which person who is fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted, when some of those folks themselves come from families who benefited from protection when they were fleeing political persecution, that’s shameful. That’s not American. That’s not who we are. we don’t have religious tests to our compassion.Obama added:The people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism, they are the most vulnerable. They are the most vulnerable as a consequence of civil war and strife. They are parents, they are children, they are orphans. Comments to taglines82@gmail.com
