Must be someone else. I did not state it was horrible with diseases. And that was then. I have seen a documentary on a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan and it is perfectly run with women's collectives, schools and shops. I agree theJordanians should not bear the brunt.  We should all be donating and contributing to better camps on the Syrian border, medical care and no fly. However, do recall, the Syrians began a Civil War. I am not saying that's bad--and I would love to see both Isis and Assad gone. But someone needs to be around to rebuild the country. And no I am not a hypocrite. How long has this situation in Syria been developing? You haven't even given it five years or given these encampments a proper chance. You are encouraging everyone to flee without looking back. Every single Syrian?  What then?[/quote]
Again, how many refugees do those Jordanian camps hold?  Did you see the link I provided that showed millions of Syrians are fleeing?  Give it 5 years?  The civil war started in March of 2011.  It has been more than 5 years.

I am not encouraging anybody to flee. Where did you read that in my post?  I'm saying that I don't blame the refugees for wanting to come here or Europe, and that you are hypocritical to say that we shouldn't allow them in even though we eventually allowed in your grandparents, *regardless* of the fact that they wanted to come or not. Again, these people obviously would rather flee than live in refugee camps that are over crowded.  I saw those camps, too.  It initially opened for 100 families. It now houses over 100,000 refugees. The Jordanian gov't is asking the West to take more refugees. Oh, and Russia is bombing some of those refugee camps.

I think you are very confused and/or naive.

"More than 4.5 million people have fled Syria since the start of the conflict, most of them women and children. Neighbouring Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have struggled to cope with one of the largest refugee exoduses in recent history. About 10% of Syrian refugees have sought safety in Europe, sowing political divisions as countries argue over sharing the burden.
A further 6.5 million people are internally displaced inside Syria, 1.2 million were driven from their homes in 2015 alone."
