first of all.... it is required by law to take religion into account because it plays a part in the assimilation factor...
...
Still waiting for you to show us a law that supports your claim.
from NRO....
"Moreover, to qualify for asylum in the United States, the applicant must be a 'refugee' as defined by federal law. That definition (set forth in Section 1101(a)(42)(A) of Title , US Code) also requires the executive branch to take account of the alien’s religion: The term 'refugee' means (A) any person who is outside any country of such person’s nationality ... and who is unable or unwilling to return to ... that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of ... religion [among other things] ...[.]"
why would we take in a refugee whose religious beliefs are incompatible with American values....i.e., who will not assimilate....? doesn't that break the other part of the law....bringing in someone who is dangerous to our well-being...?
