Unless one has a brain that has been shutdown for over a decade, he will be aware of the reality that we face today, and he will have no doubt that the reality was sown by the alliance between America and the United Kingdom. For us in Europe, it is a great tragedy that we face division and calamity, and have to witness people suffer both amongst our own kind and amongst those who are in need of help, all due to the aforementioned alliance and its nefarious military and geopolitical agenda.
It is not humane in any imaginable world that refugees in dire need are not offered help at the very least until they can return home safely. But, mind you, there is a little carved area on the atlas where two unfortunately influential countries happen to disagree with the statement. To them, such a world exists, and to them, our world should be seen as one such world. To them, not accepting refugees is not seen as a rejection of a humane act, but a deflection of a most severe threat.
Certainly there is risk in accepting refugees, for by accepting refugees, we do it in a bundle where they are only a part of the whole, and the whole being migrants, and many of them not coming for a necessary cause, but bonuses and, in some cases, evil intentions. However, what we must not forget is that from the utilitarian perspective, more good is done than harm in the short term. Moreover, because of the fact that the United States and the United Kingdom have caused and facilitated this entire scenario, they, of all other countries and regions, must be those who handle the consequences. They need to deal with the possible reality which would be that the refugees cannot leave once they arrive in their new places, for one reason or another. Such a scenario cannot and should not be handled by the entirety of the EU or rest of Europe, a region mostly innocent in this whole matter.
The solution to this is simple: We send refugees to the UK and America, and let the people be in safety in the countries that caused their grief and loss. To those who disagree that it would work, all you have to ask yourself is whether or not those countries would actually go on to return them once they arrived. They wouldn't. If they did, it would be a permanent damage dealt to the relations between the cross-Atlantic alliance (US, UK) and Europe. Do we risk such a damage by sending refugees in the first place? Perhaps. But, that is in our interests. It is not in the interests of the US and the UK.
The result is that Europe and the refugees are better off.
