The figure usually given is about 250,000 for the period 1933-1941. The figure includes political refugees as well as people fleeing racial persecution.
The Allied victory in Europe ended the Holocaust. Between 1933 and 1941 the US accepted about 250,000 refugees (of all kinds) from Germany. Other countries also accepted some refugees from Germany.
The following countries admitted significant numbers of Jewish refugees in the period 1933-1941: * The U.S. * Britain (till 1939) * France (till 1939) * The Netherlands (till 1940) * Belgium (till 1940) * Switzerland * Czechoslovakia (till 1938) * Australia (till 1939) * Sweden * Argentina (till 1938) * Soviet Union (Communists only, for the most part) * The British Mandate of Palestine Please note that the above list is not complete. Obviously, in some cases this did not help the refugeess much. For example, France, Belgium and the Netherlands were invaded by Germany in 1940 ... and refugees found themselves once more under Nazi control. All countries had restrictive immigration policies, which made entry difficult.

The immigration policies of host countries hindered refugees from leaving Europe before World War II. These policies included immigration quotas and special requirements the must be met before entry.
No. You might find it interesting that Nazism is perfectly legal in Canada and the US, but it's illegal in Germany. Stereotyping is rude, please don't do it.
To some extent they did help. For example, between 1933 and 1941 the US admitted about 250,000 refugees from Germany and Austria, and Britain admitted 71,000 between 1933 and 1939. (These figures include refugees who were not Jewish, but were fleeing for purely political reasons). Factors influencing both governments included unemployment. Obviously, given the scale of the problem, these numbers were small.
There are about 1,869 Syrian refugees in the U.S. which makes 0.0006 of the population of Syrians.
No
Many wanted to do precisely that, but in the interwar period the US had highly restrictive immigration policies and these were enforced. To put it bluntly, there were strict limits on the number of immigrants that the US admitted from Germany, Austria and other countries. By the way, there were also political, non-Jewish refugees from Germany swelling the numbers applying for entry to the US.
Approximately 1.3 million immigrants are admitted into the U.S each year.
Immigration is allowed. Illegal immigration is prohibited. Nearly 8 million immigrants came to the US between 1901 and 1910. The US allows 125,000 refugees into the country each year. In the 1970's, 4.5 million legal immigrants were admitted. In the 1980's, 6.0 million legal immigrants were admitted. In the 1990's, 8.6 million legal immigrants were admitted. Every legal immigrant is a welcomed part of the fabric of American Life.

If you mean the US then 50 of them have been admitted.
Oklahoma was the only state admitted into the union during 1907. Oklahoma was admitted into the Union on November 16, 1907 becoming the 46th state to join the Union.
Actually in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, US had 13 colonies which then became states.
As far as I know the only figure available is 250,000 refugees from Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1941. This figure includes political refugees.
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.
