Certainly factors to consider. Though it is often noted that people who are immigrating to this country are willing to work very hard even when coming from very poor backgrounds. I don't know whether the Syrians will follow suit but I don't think we can assume they will be homeless bums right off the bat.
Syrians have one of the worst IQ ratings in the world; barely floating around 80, which is about what someone with a learning disability has.
Syrians are some of the most illiterate people in the world, with 4 out of 5 women being completely illiterate, and nearly all of them not being able to speak English.
So tell me how they are going to fit in and contribute to a society where the local and indigenous population are already struggling as it is, along with thousands of homeless already on the streets with more added to their ranks everyday?
Out of all the people coming here, the Micronesians deserve to be here more than the Syrians. Why? Because our testing made many of their islands inhabitable, we poisoned hundreds if not thousands of Micronesians through radioactive drift, and at least we get 2,000,000 sqmi of the Pacific Ocean through the Compact of Free Associations treaty.
What does bringing in these Syrians offer us? Nothing but another potential terrorist attack and more burden on our system from people who shouldn't be coming here.
