Should Syrian refugees be allowed to resettle in the UK?

With thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing across the border every day, western governments are looking for ways to offer them temporary shelter and moral support. This is indeed a large humanitarian crisis and the governments often seem to be unable to address the root causes of migration.

Overall, people in Europe still sympathize with refugees. This is because these Christian countries are compassionate and sensitive to the feelings of others, like Jesus. I believe, this is the reason why some British families are ready to share their homes with the refugees.But how can the government officials address the Europe's refugee crisis it's not perfectly clear to me.  Are any strict EU rules which require some type of obedience in a situations like these and its member states to apply? When can or can not the EU's legislation and policies interfere in another country's internal affairs and dictate what they must do? It seems to me that the EU's approach can really mean a flagrant interference in a country's internal affairs.We have to keep in mind that if the negotiations between British and senior EU officials including Angela Merkel over Britain's future in the European Union fail because of issues like immigration public opinion can react very quickly to changing those issues. Prime Minister David Cameron promised to hold an in-out choice by end of 2017 and I'm sure that there are many people here, in the UK, who are getting annoyed with Brussels governing London and one day will decide to leave the European Union unless most of the demands are met.If the negotiations on Britain's EU membership don't move at least modestly toward the resolution of differences, the UK should have a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union by 2017. I agree that a referendum on EU membership is the only democratic way to condemn such interference in the domestic affairs. In my opinion, by allowing 20,000 Syrian refugees to resettle in the UK over the next five years will not solve the problem of refugees. Although, the latest decision by David Cameron in response to this crisis may support the overall humanitarian situation in the short run, if we are are looking for long term solutions the EU and immigration are simply the issue here.

Of course, leaving the EU is simply not an acceptable solution, but does EU regulation have legal grounds to impose rules over immigration?
