The reason why might Europeans resist helping refugees from Syria is that refugees will compete for European jobs and refugees could put a strain on the economy.

The refugees in Syria have become an international issue that has turned into a humanitarian crisis. The United Nations, European human rights organizations, and European governments debate on the right action to take regarding Syrian refugees. It is a complicated issue because people from Europe are afraid refugees could take jobs and use services that are only for Europeans, affecting the economy and opportunities of the region.
