Or help the refugees now, and when they stop coming in such large numbers, continue using the same personnel and infrastructure for domestic poverty.
If you're dealing with a person who owns no property and has no local ties, it hardly matters whether they walked from 500 miles away or have been sleeping in the alleyway behind you for the last year.
