Do you not think rape is a negative consequence?
By negative consequences, I mean the impact on society for not fulfilling a moral obligation, as well as the loss of life.

I believe that the statistics show that the level of crime committed by recent refugees may actually be lower than the host population when taking into account demographics.

I think it is broadly in our selfish interest to take in refugees, who on the whole are a great cultural and financial asset.
