It seems no one can answer this question but, if they hate America so much why are they fighting to get in here. The wagon is already full and the mules are tired! The way I see it is this is being perpetuated by a few leaders who want the power of ruling, and the rest are lambs being led to slaughter.
Suggest this may help answer your question:

Trying to avoid being murdered and/or held as ISIS sex slaves might be a reason one would become a refugee.
I do understand the concerns but how can we
not try to balance those concerns with some compassion and empathy? (We are so incredibly lucky). Yes, the "table" is tight but can we not find room for one or two more? After all, (just about) all of us on here doubtless came from people who were fleeing deprivation, hardship and/or persecution.
For those so inclined: 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:40. "Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God." Proverbs 14:31.
Misapplying a few things. Do you support the mixing of church and state? Its something I really doubt you'd defend on many fronts. This post could probably stop right here, but ill illustrate further how this reasoning fails reality.
How is immigration the same as giving to the poor? Is it because you believe that these people will not contribute to our society?
So immigration=giving? If you're going to make that claim, can you show me a citation where the early church desired mass exodus of their needy from poorer locations to the richer? I don't see it. But I see that tithing and giving was provided to the needy in other locations. Maybe these poorer locations should allow missionaries?
Ever heard of give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime?
What is the difference between their country of origin and the US? How do we fish?
Our culture, our freedoms.
Why must we import the entire world and attempt to feed them? If the world wants our prosperity, why doesn't it export our ways?
At what point are you happy and have we imported enough "brethren" who hate us and our values? Do you think the entire impoverished world can reside within our borders? Is it our country's duty to move every poor soul on this earth here for a free ride? If you cannot answer absolutely yes, your argument is obviously a false argument from the start.
No, most who promote importing refugees from Muslim countries aren't interested in their plight. They're interested in changing our demographics.
The people coming aren't being selected because they love America and want to assimilate. I have no problem with inviting those that wish to assimilate. And I actively give to the poor, which is a completely different topic. The refugee business is an end around requiring assimilation and selecting supporters of sharia/progressivism.
If you spent much time evaluating sharia and its followers, you'd quickly realize, it doesn't jive with our Constitution.
It's a fake narrative for a purposeful goal.
In a succinct statement, this whole deal is not about rising up of refugees, but about invading and reducing America and the rest of the civilized world.
Why aren't they fleeing to Muslim countries? Why almost exclusively to western countries? Please explain.
