Yes, if you are Lebanon or Turkey, beighboring countries with similar countries, you can't turn down truly fleeing people. But there's no reason for them to come to Europe, or rather there's no reason for us to allow them in and cause problems.

Only a small fraction of the total amount of refugees and luck seekers in the Middle east, and they still cause huge problems. How many Syrians were accepted into Europe last year, probably not even half a million, with another half a million young male Afghans and some other groups. And all these cause problems for our countries. And yet there's another 5 million in each country just waiting to come.

So it's hypocricy this blaming the left does that we have to physically accept foreigners when reality is that we're only talking about a fraction we would let in anyway.

I don't see the point in letting in one tenth of all refugees to cause so much problems when the other nine tenths will have to stay and suffer anyway (suffer according to the left, not my words). You don't solve a problem, you just cause new ones.

And a reminder. ISIS is only a small part of the Syrian crisis. It's still mainly a civil war between Assad and rebels of the people who asked for democracy.

Plus saying "they want to be brought into society" sounds a bit simple. Who's society? Your society? Germany? Hungary? Greece? Or the twisted dream image Middle Easterners have of Europe where honey drops down from the trees?

There's a lot of people who flee the terror of Isis and yet want to impose their totalitarian ideology and culture on our society in the long run, willingly or unwillingly.

You seem to think that those refugees are going to cause problems forever. They're not.

Let's look at your hypothetical scenario of only a tenth being helped. Of course it's worth it to help a tenth of those people. It's still tens of thousands of people being helped vs zero.

They're not? I thought refugees lived forever!
