Muslim immigration to US surpasses Christian immigration?

[NanLaew]

Caught a bit of Fox News last night and where the discourse was along the lines of a desire to prevent bad people, typically Muslim bad people from entering the US. One of the hostesses casually contributed that net Muslim immigration to the US had just exceeded net Christian immigration "for the first time." I was wondering where these statistics could have been pulled from. Since the flying passenger database that includes around 20 questions regarding each passenger flying to the US is prohibited by law from outright asking each passengers religion, is there any other legal and/or legitimate source for this observation that is in the public domain?

Most travelers to the U.S. are NON-Immigrants, thus no info from their U.S. Customs Entry form.

As far as Immigrants go, this could apply to both normal immigrants with visas or to refugees.  I don't remember that there's any Q about religious affiliation for immigrants on the I-130 or other paperwork so the figures may apply to refugee admissions.

 

There could be such a Q on the refugee application or processing forms, or the stats could be from where the people come from or their name, which could be Muslim or Christian.

 

Anyway, do a Google for:  u.s. immigration christians and muslims

 

Several hits.

Fox News is far from being objective on any Topic.
