Klaus Fuchs may not have been committed to spying when he arrived in Britain, but his case is close enough to show that spy infiltration under the guise of being a refugee is not out of the question (I believe there were even cases of precisely this in West Germany, but I don't recall a specific case offhand.)
Given the legal channels for immigration into the USA, having a technically-skilled spy infiltrate as a refugee may not make much sense, but that's a different argument. Furthermore, the arguments against infiltrating that way are based on the uncertainty of it succeeding and length of time it takes, not the false assumption that refugees are condemned to working in low-skill occupations.
