I'd seriously doubt any immigrant could assimilate that fast. Assimilation usually works in generations, and it'd be 20 or 30 years before that occurs, and if there are enough of them in a given area, then it won't occur at all.
A better situation for me would be a temporary situation for all the asylum speakers until the situation in Syria stabilizes. Hopefully the incentive will be for countries to go ahead and defeat ISIS and then set up pro-Western government.

Yes, people that say immigrants assimilate quickly have apparently never visited a major US city and go to Chinatown, Germantown, Greektown, Little Russia, Little Italy, Little Jerusalem, etc. Immigrants typically live in enclaves the first and second generation, then their children and grandchildren venture out. Assimilation is a slow process.

Yeah, but western military intervention is what caused the power vacuum that ISIS is filling. Destroy ISIS, something else will pop up. It's a good lesson in not destabilizing regions needlessly.
