It only makes sense from a PR stand point: Drawing attention to the far outliers at the top. On a cognitive level, we all know that migrants are people not entirely unlike ourselves, capable of a wide range emotion sand behaviors, but what the news would organically expose us to are the outliers at the bottom - rapists, terrorists, organized crime. By creating this fund, Soros is trying to steer the conversation towards the top outliers, the innovators and job creators.

I don't know anything about Soros' intentions, but there are many reasons besides PR to create a fund like this. Refugees have a complicated nationality status, which can exclude them from the global economy. A fund such as this could specialise in working around those limitations.
