I don't agree. Syrian people are being killed by war, oppression and 
murder in their own country, and by unsafe migration. Stopping those 
problems would help save lives.

No, making people safe is not punishing them. Just the opposite. I was 
suggesting that people be made secure in or near their homes.

No, not rot, live! I said "adequate" to emphasise that I was talking 
about basic but sufficient conditions, and not luxury.

Some form of employment sounds like a good idea. It would give people an 
opportunity to do something to contribute to the system under which they 
live.

No, not at all. Notice I said that normal immigration processes should 
continue. Those who want to migrate for economic reasons should be 
treated in line with the country's existing policies.

At the moment the great tide of people coming into Europe is a mix of 
refugees, economic migrants and terrorists. The latter two groups are 
pretty much indistinguishable from genuine refugees.

No, I was saying that there needs to be a solution to the problem that 
is causing the Syrian exodus. That would include stopping the war and 
Syria getting a stable government that can maintain peace and order.

Some Arab/Muslim states don't show compassion, even for fellow Muslims.

It is surely right (and affordable) to protect and help the relatively 
few who have a genuine need. But I don't believe it is right to allow 
economic migrants and others to bypass normal immigration procedures on 
the back of a wave of human migration.
