The federal grants the status and the state/local governments are the ones that provide places for them to go. The CWS, just like any private organization, cannot make that determination because immigration is controlled by the government. If people come to us seeking asylum, claiming to be refugees, then our government determines that status. Persecuted Christians from the ME would have the same opportunities to get help here if they make it here. They can apply for refugee status the same as the war refugees.

Uhm, I was pretty sure that the UN vets them first and recommends who gets sent to the US.
