Rather than comparing refugees to poison candy (complete with really bad math), I prefer a different comparison.
'41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’"'

The makers of Skittles were quick to join the second camp. "Skittles are candy. Refugees are people," a spokeswoman for the candy's parent company, Wrigley, said in a widely distributed statement. "We don't feel it's an appropriate analogy. We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing."
Good for them. If I weren't diabetic I'd go out and buy me a couple of bags just for that statement alone.
Taste The Outrage: Donald Trump Jr.’s Tweet Compares Refugees To Skittles
After the Republican presidential candidate’s son compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of poisoned Skittles, the candy’s parent company responded, saying, “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people.”
True, that.
Ironically, the guy who took the picture used DTJr's tweet — is himself a refugee, and did not give permission for the image's use. [http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37421886]
