That would be great if local areas more suited to handle their cultural issues would take them in. The Gulf states actually spend more on aid than anyone else, but they aren't taking in actual refugees. A big part of that is that none of the Gulf states are signatories of the UN Conventions on Reduction of Statelessness. They don't even recognize refugees legally in the Gulf states. Add in their animosity towards different religious beliefs and their atrocious human rights violations, I wouldn't expect them to do much for refugees. These are people who don't even take care of their own citizens.
We have a great life in the Western world. Even our poor tend to have cars, phones, and other modern amenities. I just don't think it will kill us to help how we can. If we can fit some of the people fleeing violence in our lands until it's safe for them, then I support doing it. I don't want people who we have no idea who they are running around our cities, but there are ways we can help.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
