Which is my point. They aren't going to get a job unless they build their own business or develope their skills as many other immigrants do. For example, I recently read a story about Iranian-Americans who have a family rug making business fighting eminent domain. In the U.S there aren't as extensive welfare programs that refugees can take advantage of, so in order to survive they are going to have to be innovative and creative like the thousands of immigrants (many of whom were refugees from religious persecution) that have come here in the past. Also half of the funds to bring them here are privately contributed. I can see Syrian restaurants, Syrian crafts and materials, etc becoming a thing here like the many other cultural businesses. That should be enough to sustain themselves for a generation, and then future generations become americanized. The issue for Europe (asylum) is different from the issue for the U.S (refugees) in both scope and the type of people coming over, as well as the nature of business and overall economic differences. 

So much this; let's stop creating refugees to begin with. And this entire mindset of "we'll just set them to menial labor with low pay" thinking is exactly the type of mentality that causes people to shrug at these conflicts, their lives aren't worth anything to us.
A friend of mine asked me why no one cares about children being bombed in Syria or people getting wiped out in suicide raids in Lebanon; I said that that's because most of us don't go shopping and drinking cafe latte in these areas on our vacations, we're just unable to connect the dots emotionally and politically.

I also love modern democracy; its primary function is becoming building up ignorant societies with great military influence and the proceeding to carpet bomb other cultures to show them how great democracy is and convince them to join the cause.

God bless out hearts.

To be fair, it isn't something specific to them. Pretty much every immigrant to a new country who already started out in poverty -- starts with these types of jobs. Most end up very successful in the end as they are hard working and can move up the economic ladder, and their children benefit from it. The biggest problem I can see with the OP's idea of allowing refugees to make less than minimum wage is that it would create a price-floor for everyone else and allow the refugees to be more competitive for jobs because they can price themselves less than others. This is not a good idea, and it wouldn't do well to assimilate them this way (it would cause animosity on both ends.) They should be subject to the same policies as other immigrants once they are here. They shouldn't get any more benefits or any fewer. Right now, they do get some benefits that immigrants don't get, which is a shame. But that isn't reason enough to keep them out. 

I agree 100% with the other points. Most of the problems in the Middle East are blowback from 80 years of Western involvement according to the policy of Wilsonianism.
