We aren't even able to take care of all the poor people that are already here, and you think we can accommodate millions more?

So your country has to be in the middle of a civil war for you to be a refugee? Well damn, let's go tell all the people in Honduras and El Salvador that they can't leave and seek asylum because they're not allowed to be refugees.

We have our own continent to deal with. We already have hundreds of thousands of refugees coming to the US from central/south America every year. How many refugees are we supposed to accept anyway?

Because those countries largely don't accept and accommodate refugees. There are no stigmas in countries like that against being racist or being against immigration like there are in Europe. Hell, those countries won't even take Palestinian refugees even though they will claim that Palestinians are suffering an oppressive occupation.
