The need is legitimate. The West is going to need reassurance the immigrants are not leaning to radical views. There has to be a process to discern the loyalties of the immigrants.

...Not since the wave of people fleeing (click here) war in Vietnam a quarter-century ago
have the world’s industrialized countries been under such intense
pressure to share the burden of taking in refugees, experts say. Nor has
the task of offering sanctuary been so politically fraught.
The United Nations
high commissioner for refugees, António Guterres, has stepped up calls
for industrialized countries, including the United States, to shelter
130,000 Syrian refugees over the next two years.
The figure is a fraction of the nearly four million refugees who have
poured into the countries bordering Syria — chiefly Jordan, Lebanon and
Turkey — straining their resources and plunging scores of displaced
people into poverty....
I would think the process used with Iraqis could apply to those coming from Syria.
Some of the immigrants from Iraq actually went back when the fighting was over. They probably are sorry they did today.
Immigration has become a four letter word in the USA because of extremist politics.

The number of Iraqi immigrants (click here) in the United States tripled between 1980 and 2007, from 32,121 to 102,000. Most of this growth occurred during the 1990s. However, Iraqis still constitute less than 0.5 percent of all immigrants in the United States.
Although the United States has committed to accepting increasing numbers of Iraqi refugees, the number admitted from Iraq was still below 2000 levels until 2008.
The Iraqi born tend to have a similar demographic and socioeconomic profile to the overall foreign-born population, but they are much more concentrated in certain states and metropolitan areas. Over half of all Iraqi immigrants in 2007 lived in Michigan and California (for more information on immigrants by state, please see the 2006 ACS/Census Data tool on the MPI Data Hub)....
A populous view is the numbers. The numbers aren't good arguments. For women (click here) entering the USA as immigrants they soon and easily learn a vast shift in culture. They usually flourish and are proud of their educated children.
Women are immigrating to the USA to reunite families. They comprise over fifty percent of the immigrants in the USA.
The USA should lead and carry out immigration to the refugees beginning with those in camps the longest.

...In 2013, approximately 41.3 million immigrants (click here) lived in the United States, an all-time high for a nation historically built on immigration. The United States remains a popular destination attracting about 20 percent of the world's international migrants, even as it represents less than 5 percent of the global population. Immigrants accounted for 13 percent of the total 316 million U.S. residents; adding the U.S.-born children (of all ages) of immigrants means that approximately 80 million people, or one-quarter of the overall U.S. population, is either of the first or second generation.
