This cap is for all refugees from around the world. Many come from the middle east because they helped America out there at huge risk to their own and family's lives. America owes them.
I don't have any issue with those good people. There are examples of others who were invited and arrive over the last 30 yrs decades with next to nothing, but made a life and added to the community in the US.
I think the US has normally set the refugee number closer to 100K/yr. Perhaps I'm wrong, but we are a nation of immigrants. My grandparents where brought to the US about 120 yrs ago as very young children, fleeing Russian oppression after living there for a few hundred years first. Russia wanted to alter the agreement, so they left.
