100,000 refugees

This seemed a bit strange:

“‘The United States was ready to take in 100,000 refugees as citizens of the United States,’ Olmert said, in what may be his most revealing comments to date about negotiations with the U.S. and the Palestinians when he was prime minister.”

I’d be more than happy to let 100,000 Palestinians come to the U.S. (there’s plenty of room for them, both geographically and culturally). But somehow I doubt that’s what they’re looking for.
