Legitimate refugees who's lives are in danger or economic migrants abusing our system and naïve government?
There's a big difference between the two and this government sides with incorrectly categorizing them as refugees when they're actually economic migrants like we saw with the Syrians and Haitians pouring in from the US now.
The Syrians were safe in their refugee camps back in the Middle East. They are part of a large Middle East problem that is best resolved by that region and Muslims nations that just can't get along with anyone. 
Still, it would have been more cost effective for us to dedicate all efforts directly to the Middle East camps. Once refugees leave their safe and protected areas they then become economic migrants.
The elephant in the room is the fact Arab nations expect the rest of the world to be the dumping ground for the problems they create themselves but rarely do we see any of the rich petro states stepping up to the plate to offer assistance and solutions.
