I can get behind Syria's new leader on this

 

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has called for all Syrian refugees to return to that country and help rebuild it.

Sounds like an excellent idea to me, both for Syria and the many countries currently carrying the burden of millions of refugees from the conflict there.  Sure, Syria's going to need aid to rebuild itself and recover from years of war, but if you look at what Syrian refugees are costing their host countries every year, that aid looks like a much more bearable burden.  Furthermore, it'll be a great example to all the other alleged "refugees" who are refusing to even consider returning to their own countries of origin, because they prefer the softer, easier life in their host countries at the expense of those taxpayers.

Rebuild Syria and reduce the burden on other countries.  What's not to like?

Hmm. Carrot and stick? Perhaps something along the lines of "If you return to Syria we will keep providing you your current level of benefits for 3 (to pick a number) years. If you remain here, they stop now as you are no longer a political refugee."

Not to be rude but I will be! You all seem to miss the fact that Syrian Druze, Christian, and other faiths will more than likely be in mortal danger in an islamic state. Just saying.

"You are correct, Sir!" In my best Ed McMahon voice. Because, the victors are of the HEAD CHOPPER sect, so, that's kind of a problem for all other, non HEAD CHOPPERS. Other than that, KUMBAYA!
