Some real statistics for you. I think Daily Mail can at times be wrongly maligned, but technically they are not a good source. While it's possible there could be ISIS hiding out in the refugees to find a way in to do damage, the fact is they're pretty good at doing that via much more comfortable means instead of hanging out starving in refugee camps. They have money. Why would they hide out? I think it's even sadder for the Syrian refugees if they don't get help because of a few cuckoos in the nest there to malign starving, devastated populations. There were Tory sympathizing spies in America during the Revolution, that doesn't mean we didn't need or deserve to help our fellow humans.

12 million Syrians have fled their homes because of conflict; half are children.
Violence: Since the Syrian civil war began, more than 240,000 people have been killed, including 12,000 children. One million more have been wounded or permanently disabled. The war has become more deadly since foreign powers joined the conflict.
Collapsed infrastructure: Within Syria, healthcare, education systems, and other infrastructure have been destroyed; the economy is shattered. An estimated 4.8 million people are in areas of Syria that are difficult to access because of the conflict. It’s hard for aid groups to reach them.
Children’s safety: Syrian children — the nation’s hope for a better future — have lost loved ones, suffered injuries, missed years of schooling, and witnessed violence and brutality. Warring parties forcibly recruit children to serve as fighters, human shields, and in support roles, according to the U.S. State Department.
