1) The Jewish people of France can thank the French voters for this mess!
2) Why would these people seek asylum in the United States instead of merely obtaining an Oleh's Certificate under the Law of Return and then settling in Israel!? This would be a much easier and more honest route to go!
If they are truly refugees why not head to the place you KNOW will take you or at least to the nearest safe nation?
If they are French citizens would they not be allowed to simply pack up and move to another EU nation?

French Jews petition U.S. for asylum
http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/100725.html
More than 7,000 French Jews have signed a petition asking for political asylum in the United States because of anti-Semitism in France.
"Following the barbarous murder of a young Jew because he was Jewish, in the context of the rise in anti-Semitic acts committed by Islamic fundamentalists, numerous members of the community no longer feel safe in France," reads the petition, which was sent to the U.S. Congress. The reference was to Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured to death last year by an anti-Semitic gang.
