Should the United States talk the Syrian refugees

I believe that the United States should look for solutions to help the Syrian refugees. However, taking all of them in the financial position it is in is not the wisest idea. We as a country would have to pay for all their needs education, housing, healthcare, food and tutoring for language which is not the smartest economic risk to take on with all the debt we have. Also, when you look at how many immigrants would be coming in 200,000 there are a certain number of criminals coming in. Based off statistics from the United States for every 100,000: 700 will be charged in some way shape or form for criminal activity. So by bringing in 200,000 people we would be bringing in based off statistics 1400 people criminals into our country. I think the even larger issue is not the criminals one. I do think we have a duty to help others who are less fortunate in our world. After the Holocaust no country was willing to take in the Jews which I feel was a mistake and an absolute shame. I think the Muslim countries in the Gulf and Mediterranean who are rich and we give aid to should take these people. They are better equipped to handle them and most of those countries speak Arabic so there would not be a language barrier stopping from succeeding. I think having the refugees go to these Gulf countries like and Mediterranean financially stable countries like Saudi Arabia would better for the United States and the refugees.
