IMO, your comments demonstrate glaring deficiencies in refugee activism. 
Firstly, the failure to recognize that empathy, which is subjective and therefore infinite, is not an acceptable substitute for resources, which are not. 
As our pols keep reminding us every time they raise taxes,  social programs and healthcare are limited and very expensive. 

Secondly, we can only hope to accommodate a small token number of refugees. 
And has been pointed out by others, the line between economic migrants and genuine refugees that was intentionally erased by anxious do-gooders has left more than a few folks jaded on the idea. 

However the biggest problem is that refugee activists continue to avoid the inconvenient truth:  Overpopulation. 
Civil wars, government corruption and drought-induced famine are not new, and not caused by the West or climate change. 
They are just worse now because there are TOO MANY PEOPLE.
