Our (current) government has accepted them as part of our role and reponsibility in world society to assist persons who are victimized in this way, and have no other recourse.

That's just Socialism and it doesn't work well. The Soviet Union collapsed under Socialism and we will also. One third of the earlier European immigrants to the USA returned home within a short time because they were unable to make it here ---but that was pre-welfare.

I'm not advocating the government support everybody; just this particular disenfrachised population, and for a limited time, as we already do for certain other groups.

Also, many earlier immigrants came voluntarily, and to seek a better life, economic or otherwise. Many were free to return and many did, if they were not successful or happy here. Most refugees do not have that choice, they cannot return.
