The vast majority of refugees aren't committing sexual assault. If you care about reducing sexual assault, supporting domestic violence shelters and education (e.g. programs like http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/sexualviolence/prevent...) would be much more effective than reducing immigration. Most sexual assault occurs between people who already know one another, not random foreign strangers.

No, but the attitudes of males from Islamic culture towards women tend to be very much at odds with what we expect in modern Western society. This is a burgeoning problem as we admit more refugees from Islamic states. See for example http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35353310

Be that as it may, my explanation of the prevailing politics and perceptions of the situation is accurate. "If we let them come here they'll rape our daughters" is working as political rhetoric, and is a chief motivation behind these changes.
If the choice comes down to protecting refugees or protecting your own society and the more vulnerable people within it, and that's what it's looking like to a lot of people, then your choice becomes obvious.
