We aren't shipping refugees here to do labor. There's no work for them to do. That shouldn't even be a consideration in today's context. And since the government can just print whatever money it needs the cost is no object.
Something to understand:
In the existing state of political economy we pay taxes so people will have use to federal currency, not to fund the government so thinking like professor's is out of date. The taxpayer doesn't actually "pay" for anything. The reason it's set up like this is to lock people into the established system, not to fund things the government would like to do.

Well, it looks like we're going to cruise missle/drone strike them. Great.
Yet ANOTHER conflict in the region we're being dragged into, this time because Obama put his "red line" out there that they stepped right over and now he has to back it up or look impotent.
Here we go again...

It could all be over in about 1/2 hour, but will take months to press the start button.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

yeah people fleeing genocide and other refugees are easily capable of doing all of those things.
