The massive amount of violence in Syria against civilians, perpetrated by the Assad Regime, Jubhat an-Nusra, and the Islamic State, which control the majority of Syria, have caused a large percentage of Syrians to flee the country. Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey have each taken 1.4 million, 1.9. million, and 2.3 million refugees, but all three have basically argued that they are strained and overtaxed by the refugees that they have taken in and cannot afford to take in anymore, resulting in them closing the borders or, in Turkey's case, turning a blind eye towards Europe-bound migration.
As a result, vast numbers of Syrians are taking the long march to Germany and Scandinavia where favorable refugee policies are present and where they do not run the risk of dying unceremoniously as might happen in Syria. Additionally, because of European kindness with regards to refugees, a number of economic migrants are also using the more lenient standards applied to refugees as opposed to migrants to pretend to be Syrians in order to get asylum. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has no exact statistics, but claims that a significant minority of the "Syrian Refugees" in Europe are Non-Syrian economic migrants, who should not benefit from the asylum procedures that migrants have to deal with, but are engaging in deceptive practices (such as burning their passports) in order to pretend to be Syrians.
The reason that many Europeans and Americans are hesitant to settle the million-or-so "Syrian Refugees" comes from two main factors: (1) that the governments of the various countries have not done any serious work to tease out economic migrants from actual Syrian Refugees, who should receive help and sustenance, and (2) the political and religious views of the migrants, regardless of whether they are legitimate refugees or not could have serious consequences for the national identities of a number of European countries. As a result of this failure to settle the refugees and actually determine a course for them, the refugees have been stuck in limbo in numerous refugee camps.
