  Immigration here was always set up to be immigrants who added to our country, skills, lifestyles, whse culture aligned with our American culture and English speaking was a critical role there.
  
  Refugees were established for those people who were being persecuted and killed. That included refugees from the Middle East-it began with a focus on rescuing Christians and bringing them here. I know one such family from Iran...but they are not 'white'-
  
  So this " who speak English and are Christian" makes sense.
