Is accepting Syrian refugees from Turkish camps a good deal for the EU?

What's meant by 'a good deal'? The presupposition here is of some kind of financial payoff. How about it being enough that there'sa moral argument for helping distressed people out, something which has happened historically across Europe. At various times both Jews and Muslims have been the subject of prejudice from potential host countries. Spain welcomed both. Now - thougt antisemitism exists and is arguably on the rise - the consensus is that Jews should be tolerated, whereas Muslims face prejudicial attitudes from different nations. Burqas have been banned in France, and there's talk from UKIP in Britain of doing the same. As for the economics, he picture is multi-faceted. The current wave of refugees tend to be young, which means they have a potentially long working life.Typically refugees do menial work, at least initially - a report in The Economist suggests that even with a 10% rise in the number of migrants doing menial work, wages go down by just 2%...and evidence from a Danish study suggests that many of those displaced from low paid work tend to get jobs that are often better paying.

There had been millions of people arriving Europe through Greek Islands. Many lives were lost during this migration as it was through overloaded wooden boats. This irregular arrival of Syrian immigrant from Turkey made it difficult for Europe. By 2016 EU set a deal with Turkey. The Syrian refugees from Greek Islands will be returned to Turkey and Turkey will send refugees to Europe but in organized way. Although this deal was criticized by some human rights organizations but it becomes easy for Europe to accept and integrate the refugees who reach there legally. The main benefit that EU could get from Syrian refugees is the economic benefit. A great number of labor force arrived in Europe. Once they are allowed to work they can surely increase the revenue of the continent.
