There are about 1,869 Syrian refugees in the U.S. which makes 0.0006 of the population of Syrians.
The U.S. State Department made it difficult for refugees to obtain entry visas. Anti-semitism & isolationism added to this reaction.
President Obama said in September 2015 that he wanted to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees, but it will take time for them (or for any refugees) to be vetted and they won't be admitted all at once. Whether more should be admitted is a question the president and congress will have to work out; but during a presidential election season, it's doubtful congress will okay large numbers of refugees, no matter where they are from. Currently, the Syrian refugee crisis is a very contentious issue, and not just in the USA: there are a number of countries in Europe and Scandinavia that have been very generous in admitting refugees, and others in the region that have been quite unwilling or even hostile. Since this is a global problem, made worse by the ongoing Syrian civil war, it is something that the United States (no matter who is president) cannot solve on its own.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees does the initial investigation of the potential refugees and handles most of the preliminary checks. This information is then forwarded to all governments that have agreed to take refugees and have not exceeded their internal quota (which would include the United States). The United States Department of State then leads a second investigation of the potential refugee with the consultation of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and several other federal agencies. The entire process takes over a year in length and far fewer than the maximum permitted number of refugees are actually settled in the United States.It is important to note that the US process is far more rigorous than the refugee admission processes in Europe, which do almost no investigation at all into the supposed refugee's claims once they receive the recommendation from UNHCR or the migrant shows up on their doorstep.This Article from "Time" explains the US process in much more detail.

Islamic State sees the US in opposition to its survival and expansion, both in that the US actively arms and sends special forces to fight alongside its current enemies (the Iraqi government and the Free Syrian Army) and because the US is the largest producer of democratic, Western culture, which the Islamic State sees as demonic.
