It's not like Syrians want to leave their homes. They've lived their lives in Syria, they know the language and culture better, they have family and memories there, and they know that by moving that they'll have to learn a new language and new customs while simultaneously being hated by a large number of people and having to deal with homesickness. It's like so many people here have no sympathy at all for the refugees.

Yes because they would rather be next door to neighbhours to isis, have no job, a limited supply to food water/shelter/electricity/healthcare and be stuck in a warzone instead of going to a welfare state. They have a much better chance of survival by staying in a land which is part of an international conflict that seemingly has no end! 

Having sympathaty for refugees doesn't change the fact, that they have caused issues in Europe, and being refugees doesn't excuse that. 

 

Yes, it's extreme circumstances that made them decide to escape the war. If the only reason they moved was to have a good life in the welfare state, why wouldn't they have moved on-masse in 2004, when many of the Eastern European countries joined? Why did it take 11 years for them to do so?
