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.
Well, not giving preferential treatment to the Christians isn't very Christ-like!
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
