President Donald Trump’s executive action that was intended to get a handle on immigration has not started off too swimmingly, as the rash implementation of the new policy quickly sparked a wealth of confusion and outrage. While the Trump administration has taken great pains to point out that the policy is not a Muslim ban, that hasn’t stopped a great deal of people from interpreting it as such.
As CBN News reports, we now know that at least one religion will be given priority status among refugees. Trump sat down for a lengthy interview with the network, and he expressed concerns about persecuted Christians that are attempting to flee countries that are on the executive order list.
“They’ve been horribly treated. Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very tough to get into the United States? “ he said.

He went onto explain that there has been almost a double-standard at play in terms of refugees, and he’s aiming to change that as well.

“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.” Trump continued.
