You see the problem with your analysis is that, in most cases these, despots and dictators are out allies, we put them in power, fund them and then kill thousands of civilians to over throw them. Putin is one no one can doubt that. Saddam, Noriega, Pinochet, Diep, Batista Saudi Arabia; we fought a whole war to keep in place and evil regime and to bring back anther. We choose China over Taiwan a democacy. So in other words we create many of these refugees. Our policy of " eliminating" the problem has never worked, it never will.
