I'm just simply glad to see the amount of Christians increasing as much as it did.

Refugee Admissions Under Trump: More Christians, Fewer Muslims
(CNSNews.com) – The first six months-plus of the Trump administration have brought a discernible shift in the religious affiliation breakdown of refugees admitted into the United States, with a larger proportion of Christians to Muslims among those resettled.
Most of those who have arrived since President Trump’s inauguration would have begun the application process long before – it can take 18-24 months – but the change is nonetheless striking: More than half of those admitted under Trump (51.2 percent) are Christians, compared to 43.3 percent of those who arrived during the same period one year earlier under President Obama.
At the same time, the proportion of Muslims among the refugees admitted during those two time periods dropped, from 46.7 percent under Obama to 37.6 percent under Trump.
The trend is evident over the successive months of the Trump administration: In February, Trump’s first full month in office, the Christian-Muslim ratio was 41 percent to 50 percent. By April the balance had changed, with 54 percent Christians to 35 percent Muslims. In July, the margin of difference was even larger – 62 percent Christians compared to 34 percent Muslims.
Over the decade prior to FY 2016, the U.S. each year resettled more Christian than Muslim refugees from around the world, but that changed last year when Obama admitted a slightly larger number of Muslims. Of the 84,994 refugees admitted in FY 2016, 37,875 (44.5 percent) were Christians and 38,900 (45.7 percent) were Muslims.
