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?

They are currently living in extreme circumstances, in a country with no borders, with multiple terrorist groups, and with a lack of goverment so i don't get what you are on about.

You realise the difference between being a refugee, and between not being a refugee? As a refugee they get funding from NGOs, goverment, and whatever benefits the European country decides to give them. Plus the qoutas are way less strict then normal immigration, thats why they are refugees. 

 If you actually look at Europe you can see that it has a good amount of immigration from Middle Eastern/Muslim Countries, France has 7.7 Mulsims, And by the earls 200s Germany had a reported 2-3 million Turks. So it isn't anything new. 

Also 11 years ago Syria, wasn't in a civil war, so what are you on about? 

Exactly. I'm saying that the Syrians probably wouldn't be trying to go to Europe if they weren't fleeing war. It's not because they're thinking that they've got a fast ticket to a good life. If that were the case, why would there be so many refugees in countries like Jordan and Turkey, who are not part of the EU?
