There is a relatively simple solution to this.. Immigration..

There is certainly no shortage of people who want to come to the US. We have 4.5 million outstanding immigration applications pending (with US based sponsors willing to take care of them) to prove it. Many of these people have waited for up to 10 years to have their applications processed, despite having paid $500 each to file.. (I know.. my wife had an application submitted in 2007 by her US citizen sister.. We we got married, I found out that ICE was still processing applications dating from 2004. I had to resubmit, and pay another $500+ several thousand in lawyer fees, to get her PR "green" card)..

But it's the QUALITY of the people we permit to immigrate that is what matters.

People with skills. People who share our values. People who want to become US citizens in order to build a better life here, not merely to exploit a temporary work opportunity (and ship their money to their home country).. People who want to assimilate by learning English..

We don't need to focus on refugees who, for the most part, neither understand, nor believe, in American values.

That does not mean we shouldn't have opportunities to take in refugees... Merely, that we should be extremely picky..
