Q&A: Justus Reid Weiner on Palestinian Christians

If they're not sitting on their suitcases, they've already left.

We've managed to get a few of the people who are most in danger of losing their lives out of here with religious asylum. Sometimes it's called political asylum, because the country that's receiving them doesn't want to acknowledge that Christians are being targeted as Christians. If these people are not allowed to live safely and freely in their countries of origin, then more and more of them by hook or by crook are going to want to come to the United States and other Western countries, even as illegal aliens, in order to save their lives. And I don't think many Western countries at this point are looking to absorb Middle Eastern male immigrants.
