So you are old enough to have grandkids but just finding out the difference between immigrant and refugee? I will type real slow so you can try to keep up. Use your favorite search engine and find historical pics of refugees. There are plenty out there. You will see lines of old folks, children and women with very few millinery aged males (mam). The reason, since you seem to lack critical thought processes, is that they are fleeing war or pestilence brought on by disaster, natural or otherwise. Why? Because the MAM's stay behind to try and overcome whatever the old, weak and sick are fleeing from.

  Now look at pics and video of the obammy are refugees. What you will see is lines dominated by MAM's. They are not refugees in any sense of the word. They are invaders sent forth on a global diaspora to recruit and conquer. You can argue any humane reason you desire for allowing this to continue, but none hold up when comparing to traditional refugees. Also traditionally refugees want to flee just far enough to be safe, not half way around the globe, because they desire to return home ASAP. Hence refugee camps usually end up just across borders. The refugees tended to stay there, not demand transport to another continent with very liberal welfare policies. These are invaders, not immigrants nd certainly not refugees.

  Interestingly I read a week or so ago that Europe, especially Germany, has an issue with these "refugees" who were granted status and welfare benefits for fear of persecution and retaliation if they are forced to return "home" are using the benefits provided to purchase plane tickets back home to visit family and friends, and mosques and Imans and  terrorist training camps no doubt. If one feels threatened if forced to return, one of the main reasons to be granted refugee status, why would one get on a plane to go back to where they live in fear? Rhetorical question Casey. I'm sure you still don't get it. Go back to wherever you "learned" the difference between refugee and immigrant and learn a little more. Nobody is anti-immigrant or anti-refugee as long as they a true immigrants and refugees that abide by the rules that society and governments have put in place to protect everyone, particular their own citizens to whom governments owe their only allegiance.

  Bottom line is yes, blood relatives are "close family ties" but that doesn't mean we owe them a family reunion at the expense of taxpayers. If an immigrant or a refugee wishes to maintain close family ties they are free to return home and visit them all, just don't come back claiming to be a refugee.
