Suggested points:
-Demand that other countries, such as oil wealthy Middle East countries take refugees
-Photos from Europe show lots of single men, not mothers and children (This can be understandable since they are fleeing military involvement, yet is still inadequate reason to take them)
-US job market still crowded as Obama Administration seeks extra visas for other categories. They are seeking H1-b and student visas.
-Some refugees have been found to be terrorists
