Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that those who take part in the “mass killings” of Christians, mainly “radical Islamic terrorists, Fulani ethnic militias” and the like, no longer are welcome in the United States.
“A new policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act will allow the State Department to restrict visa issuance to individuals who have directed, authorized, significantly supported, participated in, or carried out violations of religious freedom and, where appropriate, their immediate family members.
Long has there been violent persecution of Christians in several African regions, including Nigeria. Tens of thousands of Christians are believed to have been murdered, hundreds of churches and homes burned, and children kidnapped in recent years.
