Did we favor Jewish immigrants at times during the past?

Asked by JLeslie (65444points) January 31st, 2017 from iPhone

Has the US ever made it their policy to give special exception to oppressed Jews around the world? I always thought we had at various times in history.

I’ve been pretty appalled at what is happening to Christians in some of the Middle Eastern countries for several years now. I myself have said we need to do something about it.

Now, everyone is freaking out that Trump said there will be special consideration for Christians and other religious minorities in the banned countries.

First, let me say I am against this sweeping ban he has done. Second, I do understand that there are different Muslim sects, and some Muslim groups are religious minorities themselves.

My main question is, is it really unheard of, or unreasonable to have a religious consideration for entry into the US?
