The bill will put greater pressure on minority religious communities. and these minority communities will be accused of complicity in American sanctions. The third reason I oppose this bill is because it creates a damaging hierarchy of human rights violations. What this bill does is it makes religious persecution the top priority of human rights and human immigration policy. This bill says that religious persecution is more important than any other kind of persecution: more important than female infanticide. more important than racial discrimination. more important than press censorship. more important than ethnic cleansing. None of these equally serious rights abuses would be monitored by a special State Department office and punished with its own unique set of sanctions.
