Germany will have around 1M refugees in 2015 alone. Maybe 1.3M in 2016, maybe 1.7M in 2017? Considering most asylum seekers will bring their families(let's average 2 people more each one) along afterwards. That's only considering Syria.
Now think about Lybia getting worse(it actually is) -> Lybian refugees.
Wars in Eritrea, Iraq, Nigeria, Yemen! -> Other refugees ...
There are also refugees from not-at-war countries whose life is at high risk (Pakistan, Iran, Somalia).
At the same time consider that Greece can't pay its pensioners, Italy, Spain, Portugal are not that crazily better. High unemployment.
Other European countries such as Romania, Hungary, Poland, Croatia,etc are just starting to grow and match EU standards.
There's also a risk of importing their conflicts to EU streets - e.g. Kurds+Turks in Germany/Austria/Switzerland. There's been fights already in the last days in Switzerland and Stockholm.
I believe refugees should be given help and a safe shelter by sponsoring and building communities in borrowed land from Turkey/Lebannon/Jordan. However I'm of the opinion that inviting them to stay in the EU makes everything more complicated and expensive(which doesn't maximize the number of refugees you can help per euro) AND encourages the ones who can afford to pay human smugglers to risk their lives by crossing the sea.
