Best solution to the refugee crisis in Syria?

[hershel_layton]

Several months ago, I used to have a definite answer to the refugee crisis- let them in.

Nowadays, I realized this- the answer is clearly not black or white.

 

With over two million Syrian refugees pouring into Europe, there's bound to be issues. Some of the issues are(main points are bolded if you're too bored to read):

1) Too many refugees. With the war still dragging on, there have been over two million documented refugees. With the war having no clear end in site, it's obvious that there are more to come. And, even if the war were to end, they would be sent back to cities of broken buildings and remains.

Europe has struggled due to the costs needed to maintain all the camps and accept such a large number of people. It's obvious that this will take a toll.

I've always wondered why Saudi Arabia, Muslim brothers to the Syrians, won't accept them. Disappointing if you ask me.

 

2) Issues with refugees. Unfortunately, rotten apples exist for everything. Many cases of refugee-linked crimes have been reported on the news.  Obviously, these attacks are condemned, but doing so doesn't make a difference- their idea of a civilization and what not to do(and what to do) has caused problems for many people. Of course, this leads to a domino effect...

 

3) Rise of politically-motivated attacks

This article points out that politically motivated attacks from conservatives has skyrocketed. I think it's safe to say that some people have a...erh, more emotional and violent way of disagreeing with the refugees.

 

4) costs

This article(made in 2015) provides insight on the costs of handling this crisis. Even if the world doesn't lose much accepting refugees, we realize there's a lot of reasons as to why it's expensive- medical care, housing, food, water, and other life necessities. A gradual 2 million increase in population wouldn't hurt Europe. However, a sudden boom in people who can't do much in the countries they've settled in does indeed pose a problem.

 

5) Nowhere to go

Let's say you want to send the refugees back. Alright, but where to? It seems that now it's flee-or-die for many Syrian refugees, as Syria is in a condition worse than the Philadelphia 76'ers. With no sign of hope for chaos to end, sending them back would practically be a death sentence.

 

6) No solution in sight

As I said, there's no solution. It's not like the Civil War where Confederates are Mr.bad guy and the Union are heroes. In Syria, there are a plethora of groups, with each group having clear reasons for it to not gain power. 

I made comments not too long ago saying Syrians should go back and fight. However, a recent speech I heard concerning the crisis makes me realize it would be redundant- who would they fight? Which side would we support? And if none of the groups are considered "good" by standards, who do we choose to keep Syria in the best condition? 

 

Conclusion: I do not know how to deal with this

Going from a pro-refugee into an "I seriously don't know" allows me to realize one thing- this situation won't go any further is heavy left and right wing groups try to use their solution only. 

A right combination of tactics will allow Syria to recover(even if it doesn't recover the way we hope). 

Then again, I'd like to see any insight on the Syrian refugee crisis. Is there anything I missed? Anything I said that's incorrect?
