Otter: Christian refugees get priority

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter says he agrees with President Donald Trump that persecuted Christians should be treated as priority in the U.S. refugee program despite acknowledging that such preference is discriminatory.

“It is,” Otter said during an interview on Idaho Public Television’s Idaho Reports. “(But) we want a safe country.”

Otter made his remarks during an interview with Idaho Public Television’s Idaho Reports, which aired Friday. The 30-minute interview touched on the governor’s thoughts on immigration, transportation and trade, but it also highlighted specifically President Donald Trump’s latest actions regarding immigration and refugees/ Kimberlee Kruesi , AP.
