I don't know many countries that would be willing to take in 2 million refugees at the drop of a hat. Especially when those refugees are largely women and children who don't have the skills or abilities to work.
As for the ban, it's because Egypt is a dictatorship. The current dictator athrew out the democratically elected leader who was friendly with the Muslim Brotherhood. It's just a dictator who the United States supports not wanting competition.
