Why can't we establish a safe zone or a refugee camp in their country? (middle east, soldier)

I was trying to explain that America did not start this refugee problem. The fighting over there has been going on long before we showed up. We are not to blame for every ailment on the planet, despite what some believe.
Because all young Muslim men should have an opportunity to rape a white girl.
This is a bit pejorative for my tastes. However it's the result when Western governments are unwilling to maintain law and order because of political correctness. Chalk it up to the "Ferguson effect" on a giant scale.
At least that would be better than bringing them here to compete for jobs and resources against our own citizens and we wouldn't have to put up with cultures that aren't compatible with ours.
As usual, you make perfect sense! But don't forget, these people need translators... although not speaking English hasn't held anyone back from being employed in our country. The culture difference is huge. I can see it now: The ACLU suing on their behalf for discrimination. Nothing good will come of this. And there will be 110,000 more over the next few months.

... But we are expected to take care of every ailment on the planet! Has anyone ever helped us out?
As pointed out throughout this thread, they are in a civil war, but still, we persist in getting involved.
What the OP suggest is the most sensible thing that should had been done. It could increase motivation for the refugees to get back to their homes ASAP and stop fighting. Only G_d understands the philosophy of Merkel and Obama.
I think it would be great if this could be done, but how exactly would that happen? Who would set up the safe zone? Who would guard it? The US? The UN? Someone else? Despite Daesh/ISIS/ISIL's caliphate claims, Syria is still a sovereign territory. How would this be done without violating their sovereignity? And how the heck do you keep a "safe zone" safe in the midst of active conflict?
Can't have a safe or no-fly zone unless we are willing to send in our soldiers and possibly start a War with Russia. Americans do not have the stomach for that. Diplomacy is the only way.
