I agree it was a monumental mistake for Europe to take them as well, no doubt, just that no country in the ME is equipped to do the same. If we or the EC had been committed in Syria early on, there wouldn't have been this mass exodus. Syria was a complete disaster even before Isis developed. Assad killed 200,000 of his own people within the first couple of years of this mess. Once Europe flung open its doors, people began to flock to them from almost every ME country, and many of the "refugees" are also Russian. Some are coming from countries that have been disasters for years, like Eritrea.
When the Obama administration signaled a change in its stance toward young immigrants, the U.S. got a small taste of what havoc open borders create.
