We're 20,000 within the next 5 years and we're a far smaller country than the US, although I would argue we should take in more. What issues do you have that other countries don't
America isn't selfish, the fact that you're actually taking any in shows that you're not. Sending them back would be selfish.
Trump makes it out like it's easy to get into the country, as I said before several government organizations partake in the vetting process that can take years to complete. Taking more in doesn't mean you have to accept them in today or tomorrow, no one is saying that. In fact most countries are saying they're going to accept a certain number within the next few years, it doesn't mean accepting them all at once.
Have you met any of the refugees? It's much easier to empathize when you've actually seen what they've gone through.

I haven't met any refugees and I don't need to because I'm not a crazy who thinks they're bad people. I'm not worried about the refugees. I'm worried about the terrorists slipping in. America isn't selfish, I know. I was saying America would be acting selfish (I was actually using selfish in a good way) as in they are focusing on their own people. The problem is not many people are talking about waiting 5 years and letting them in gradually. Many of them need to enter other countries much sooner than that, and many politicians are talking about letting them in now, now 5 years from now.
Just a side note: America's vetting is so strong that immigration agents weren't even (and still may not be) allowed to look up the applicants on their social media because it would have been considered illegal discrimination. We've let in immigrants who have had facebook/twitter posts that praise ISIS because the immigration employees couldn't use it to determine whether they get let in to the country.
