I think the lower cost-of-living argument have merit (though one has to take into account that while cost of living in those jurisdictions might be lower, the procurement of government services might very well not be the case). The risk/concern I have is that by moving refugees en masse to these economically depressed locale could end up being a defacto economic ghetto for these individuals; certainly, there will also be the issue of integration with the local community and potential pushback on that front.
