Closed Oppose the USA Presidential use of Religious Profiling

Closed on

The President of the United States has made it clear about his position on refugees from war torn states stating that Christian refugees seeking asylum in the US would get preference over refugees from other faiths.

He states Christians dont get admitted to the USA easily is not grounded in fact*. His actions violate the US first amendendment prohibiting state or federal Government from passing laws which aid one religion, all religions or prefer one or another. Neither state nor the Federal Government can opnely or secretly participate in the affairs of any religious organisations or groups.
