Obama State Department Won’t Let Persecuted Iraqi Nun Enter US to Speak Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, May 1, 2015, 9:30 AM What is it with the Obama administration and Catholic nuns? — First they sue the Little Sisters of the Poor poverty nuns. Now this… The Obama State Department won’t allow a Dominican Sister from Iraq entry into the United States. Sister Diana Momeka from Iraq ( DD) National Review reported: Earlier this week, we learned that every member of an Iraqi delegation of minority groups, including representatives of the Yazidi and Turkmen Shia religious communities, has been granted visas to come for official meetings in Washington — save one. The single delegate whose visitor visa was denied happens to be the group’s only Christian from Iraq. Sister Diana Momeka of the Dominican Sisters of Saint Catherine of Siena was informed on Tuesday by the U.S. consulate in Erbil that her non-immigrant-visa application has been rejected. The reason given in the denial letter, a copy of which I have obtained, is: You were not able to demonstrate that your intended activities in the United States would be consistent with the classification of the visa. She told me in a phone conversation that, to her face, consular officer Christopher Patch told her she was denied because she is an “IDP” or Internally Displaced Person. “That really hurt,” she said. Essentially, the State Department was calling her a deceiver. The State Department officials made the determination that the Catholic nun could be falsely asserting that she intends to visit Washington when secretly she could be intending to stay. That would constitute illegal immigration, and that, of course, is strictly forbidden. Once here, she could also be at risk for claiming political asylum, and the U.S. seems determined to deny ISIS’s Christian victims that status. It’s just too bad she’s not an illegal alien criminal. Then she might even qualify for food stamps while she was here. Read more: thegatewaypundit.com
