Then again should the same offer not be made to a Syrian farmer or farmers elsewhere dispossessed of their land through war or genocide?
There are certainly cases historically where governments have brought in persecuted groups and it has proven a great boon for the adopting country. Perhaps none more so than the east Indians expelled from Uganda under Idi Amin's regime in 1972. Britain took 30,000 or so (and Canada 6000 I read) and they have risen to the top of every part of British life. There are many Patels on the richest people list as well as these Ugandans being in politics, top doctors etc.
