I'm not the biggest fan of religious quotas, or quotas of any type, but for the sake of a Devil's Advocate (nothing is a bigger impediment to improvement than an echo-chamber) I'd point out that the Secretary gave reasons for this: for one thing, Christians are less likely to be ISIL (not that most Muslims are, the vast majority are not, but it's an important point from a national security standpoint, and I think the Secretary's error was of phrasing, not necessarily substance) and from what I understand Christian refugees are facing violent discrimination beyond what Islamic refugees are facing. Now, you can say that one or both of these facts aren't facts at all, or are misleading, or draw different conclusions. But that's the information our own State Department gave.
we must take in all refugees, regardless of religion. That is, after all, what Christ himself would do.
I'm not arguing with the merit of the point, just point out merely that removing quotas does nothing to increase the amount, it just alters the composition. Now, not saying you can't argue for both to be done, but those are separate numbers.
