Your country's stance is better than ours.
We should be assessing their refugee status not only as individuals; but, as a collective. If their numbers are sufficient to fight for their own country, even a long term struggle beginning with an underground war; then, we should support them there. Only if their numbers don't reach the threshold for eventual self determination should we bring them here.
We send mixed messages. We tell people that we'll help them whether they stay and fight for their own country; or, run away ... and leave it up to them. It undermines our objectives for that country by undermining those who stay and fight through our two faced intervention causing attrition as we tempt desertion from their cause.
We do this for our own domestic political correctness, to appease a populace that takes its entitlements for granted having become too far removed from what it took this country to get to where it is now.
From here, it looks like your country is lucky to have those with your perspective in the minority.
