The USA changed their immigration laws in the 1920's part of my family now lives in Toronto. I am lucky to live in the US rather than Minsk or Odessa where my family came from, notwithstanding, my paternal Grandmother who's family immigrated from Germany.

This immigrant wave is yours (Europe's ) because of proximity. You have to deal with it somehow. There are other world actors responsible for this situation -- they should offer humanitarian aid in these refugees' resettlement efforts -- they should bear burden of their part in causation of this. However, ISIS will offer no aid nor will Assad

With the humanitarian situation worsening every day, growing numbers of people inside Syria and refugees in neighbouring countries are in need of assistance. The European Union is increasing its assistance to the Syria crisis by €136 million in humanitarian funding, half of which will go to needs inside Syria, and the other half to Syrian refugees and host communities in neighbouring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.

Background
The European Union, with its Member States, is one of the leaders of the international humanitarian response to the Syria crisis, having mobilised over €3.25 billion in assistance. Including today's top-up, the European Commission alone has provided €817 million in humanitarian funding.

Wars are expensive, always have been ... It would cost $500 billion to $2 trillion to send an invasion force into that area and to what end? 12 Years of wars in the region and it is still a mess.
