In 2019, Turkey took in the most displaced people (1.59 million), followed by Pakistan (1.51 million), Lebanon (1.15 million), then Iran (just under 1 million). And people do come to the US for seasonal labor, make much more than they could by staying in their home countries, and do so year after year. The earnings feed their kids, build better homes, and improve their quality of life. If you had to, wouldn't you do the same? Who we need, and how many, will change with time as automation gets better and reduces the need for some kinds of labor (good luck fast-food workers, truck drivers, and others) and increases the need for other kinds. Again, a rational plan based on need and humanitarian obligations is needed, and this takes time to develop.
