#2 Why not an UNRWA for Syrian refugees, that will provide food shelter clothing health services and education for all Syrian refugees and their descendants for ever?
UNRWA has been such a success for Palestinian refugees, in keeping them cooped up in camps. Hey how about doing it for the Rohinga refugees?
And you could give control of the new UNRWA's to the militants among their residents. That's sure to help.
Surely the Europeans will be happy to pay billions each year for these blessed UN organizations.
That way you could get them out of Europe. Or maybe the camps should be set up in Europe.
Time to make a plan!

I understand there are rooms available in Chernobyl.

#7 Some tens of thousands are all that remain of the original refugee generation, I believe. The rest have settled wherever they ended up and merely need to be redefined, which President Trump’s administration is working on doing.

#8 But the same official seems to believe that US dollars can fix the problem?
