Yes there is. The crazy mother frickers could just stop killing each other in the name of Allah, pump some oil and live good lives. But nah, that's too damn simple of a solution for such a great group of humans.

Clearly you have a beyond superficial understanding of the situation at play here. I study EU politics and I can tell you right now that these are people who have literally the option of fleeing or death. Additionally to whoever mentioned the refugees being sent back to Hungary is partially right. Under EU accord, "Dublin Agreement" pertaining to readmission, whichever country illicit migrants or asylum applicants enter EU territory through, is the country to which they are sent back (if they are caught by the authorities in another EU member state, beyond their state of entry into the Schengen Area) this places an unfair burden on the EU's southern frontier (i.e. Spain, Italy and Greece) because none of the migrants want to be in those states where even the ethnic natives are struggling to find employment, but rather the wealthy stable Northern European countries (Nordic States, Netherlands, Germany, UK). However, Germany, and quite pragmatically so, has opted to defy the Dublin accord and open its borders to all Syrian refugees/asylum applicants. This is a HUGE move on their part and if those ignorant former-commies in Hungary would pull their vodka laden head out of their assholes for even a mill-second they'd realize that Germany is picking up the bill for them as is par for the course...
