I think he's talking about doing something about that which makes them flee. Rather than bring them to countries where they don't want to be, faced with language barriers, inclement weather, etc...

This.

You failed to answer my second question which I KNOW for a FACT was MUCH longer.

For as long as we've been meddling in it... so you're right -- MUCH longer.

Of course... but that's going to take time, and the refugees need to be somewhere in the meantime. You can't rebuild your house while it's still on fire...

I do not see why Obama would care if they WANT to go home why would he send them here aganist their wills?

Surely you know of Obama's game plan for integrating the USA into the third world.

Having people here who do not want to be here would be kidnapping.

Do you suppose that that matters to him?
Well, no, but what is he going to do tell them he will shoot them if they do not come here?

Really, if Obama isn't going to put boots on the ground to solve the issue of ISIS and all those that threaten the lives of Syrians in their homeland, including taking out Assad, then he shouldn't offer America as the landing place for fleeing Syrians he otherwise won't help to annihilate the enemy that threatens them.

Well, if they find living in some refugee camp intolerable, I would suppose that promises of free welfare benefits, free housing, free education for the kiddies, etc. might persuade them. This doesn't mean that they wouldn't prefer to live in the Middle East, as Carson reported, if they thought that there were a realistic chance of returning home in the near future.

The problem is that NOTHING is free.

It would be free for THEM, however, and that's the point.
It cannot go on being free forever. There is only so much money. How hard is that to realize?

Helping people in need while NOT putting our soldiers in harms way....

sounds like 2 good ideas.

People need to live in peace in their homeland. While terrorists who threaten the whole world need to be eliminated.

Sounds like a really good idea.

The problem is that sometimes you cannot have it both ways.
