If true, this just goes to show the brilliance of the Founders of our country. Freedom of religion is part of the First Amendment and is a big part of the success of our country. (Notice that most religiously pure cultures that enforce strict conformity are places where no one would want to live)

The reason that people want to come here is to get that freedom to express their faith without fear. The reason people want to leave the place where they were born is that they don't have that there.

Those old dudes with the silly powdered wigs and the funny hats on their heads really got that part of it right. I wish we we still just as smart about that topic today.
