Refugee policies have been expanded and made more generous over the decades while  it appeared western economies could afford them. Let's be clear -- only advanced modern western economies have such programs, but economic disruptions and globalized trade & outsourcing have changed those nations. It is time to identify and solve the problems in the nations from which refugees come.  People will scoff and say that western nations cannot judge other people's beliefs or cultures and tell them what to do -- BUT when those nations have problems,  either the UNHCR sets up one-way refugee transportation programs to the West, or refugees find their own way here because they WANT to have a western standard of living. Why not encourage other nations to adopt western standards 'at home'?  If they really don't want this way of life, why claim refugee status here? The UNHCR reported 66-million refugees in 2016 with more to come. Time to solve the REAL problems, not pay for more of the same.
