Let's pretend Obama has a lapse. He's not running for re-election and doesn't care about the political consequences. Europe is not equipped to deal with the current refugee crisis and Obama says 'We'll take em'. He signs an executive order taking 5 million refugees outside Syria over the course of... say 10 years. That would be roughly 500,000 refugees per year out of a population of 325 million.

There are some reasons why the United Staets could handle them better than any European nation states.
1. It has a strong mass surveillance state and should be able to better screen for possible threats.
2. There's more people and land so it wouldn't create the same mass imbalance as Europe. There would be more cities for the refugees to be settled and they would be more spread out.
3. American Muslims appear better intergrated than US Muslims. Do highly educated Muslims pick the US to go to vs less educated Muslism in the Europe (I'm guessing). Perhaps I am putting the cart before the horse but something in the US appears better at this.
4. Ethnoreligious communitarianism and religious extremism are already rooted in the US.

Do you think this is a feasible idea or just left-leftist gibberish? I'm just throwing this out there.
