Recognize Christians worldwide as a persecuted population and assign emergency refugee status.

The people of the United States, despite the absence of a declared national religion, recognize that Christians in this nation are less persecuted and have greater protections than in any other nation in the history of the world. In light of the spread of terrorist groups around the world it is appropriate and in keeping with the national character of Americans to protect the religious freedom and lives of those in harms way. In the middle-east Christians are being crucified, burned alive, raped, and murdered on a mass scale for refusing to deny their religion. We believe that Christians, especially in the middle-east, should be given emergency refugee status and provided expedited processing and protection within the borders of the United States.
