What you classify them as will have no bearing on that. Well the UK never has had a single year in which refugees accepted into the UK, has exceed the number of UK citizens leaving the UK permanently. So I don't see a problem there. In fact its only once ever exceeded 10% of the UK emigration figure. So in questions of numbers, the UK could in fact take in its usual refugee quota, and not increase its population. The migration that's damaging the country is about money, notably people being brought here to work, to keep wages down and profit up.

The migration that's damaging the country is about money, notably people being brought here to work, to keep wages down and profit up. That is a bit of spin. The UK population is increasing rapidly, so any people arriving here are contributing to that. They all count in the net figure and they and their offspring will all ultimately drain resources. There is of course the separate issue with freedom of movement and it's effect on our economy but that does not alter the fact that we cannot make decisions on refugees based on emotion. One can sympathise with their plight and still make a logical decision. The fact is that there will always be a virtually endless queue of people wishing to come here for any number of apparent reasons and what we do today will have a profound effect on the future of this country. Any amount of emotive writing will not change that. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (09 Feb 2017 5.46pm)

Could somebody explain a simple question. As we are sending millions in aid to these countries, why are we then also taking their people in as refugees?

No, we have to cut migration that's used by corporations and business to keep wages low, such as by leaving the EU and ending the freedom of movement. That doesn't mean we should prevent humanitarian migration. And why are they ending up in the UK, because the neighbouring countries have a refugee crisis and unsurprisingly people don't want to live in crime ridden, camps, in which criminal gangs and terrorist groups are becoming major players. A refugee camp is no where for a family to live for years at a time.
