Newly published government data reveals the Obama administration increased the amount of green cards given to Middle Eastern migrants by one-third from 2013 to 2014, with the increase largely going to those from countries with high support for Sharia law.
The Department of Homeland Security granted Lawful Permanent Resident — green card — status to 103,901 migrants from countries in the Middle East in Fiscal Year 2014. (RELATED: Afghan And Iraqi Migrants Big Winners In Newly-Revealed Green Card Spike)
That represents a 32 percent increase from the 78,917 issued in Fiscal Year 2013. Fiscal Years extend from October 1 of one year to September 30 of the next.
The biggest increase in green cards came for migrants from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan.
Afghanistan and Iraq are the number one and two countries,
respectively, when it comes to citizens who support making Sharia law
the official law in their nation, according to a 2015 Pew study. Pakistan is fourth when it comes to this measure.
Ninety-nine percent of Muslims polled in Afghanistan, 91 percent of Muslims polled in Iraq, and 84 percent of Muslims in Pakistan supported Sharia law becoming their countries’ law.
In FY 2013, 2,196 Afghan migrants received green cards. That number increased to 10,527 in FY 2014.
Iraqi green cards in the same time span increased from 9,552 to 19,153.
For Pakistan, the increase was 13,251 to 18,612.
The DHS has not yet published data for Fiscal Year 2015.
The 103,901 new green cards issued in FY 2014 brings the total number of green cards issued to migrants from the Middle East from FY 2001 through FY 2014 to 1,114,453.
A green card entitles recipients to federal welfare and routes to U.S. citizenship, among other benefits.
A recent study found that 90 percent of Middle Eastern refugees in the United States use food stamps.
