Hope? Yes.

Will that actually be possible? I don't think so.

It's obvious, many refugees look for the country with the best welfare system, but I don't think it's a big problem, here in Germany for example, they'll give you assistance until you finish learning the language ( 9 months on average ) after that you have to start looking for a job, so it's not like they'll live off the system forever.

EDIT : Clarity

That's a great question.

I didn't get shocked by many things, I knew a lot about the culture and lifestyle of Europe before coming here thanks to the internet and media. But the most shocking thing for me was that people aren't voting, like I met many Germans, who don't vote, this was the most weird thing I encountered here.

For the second part of the question: Yes, I'm coming from a middle class family of a single income, what made the difference for me was I was the only one who needed to get out of the country, so yeah I think I'm privileged somehow.

So. Many. Things. The two societies are way far from each other, so many normal things would be considered a no-go in Syria, with these big numbers of people, and the slow integrating process, it'll take time to start tackling this issue
