The lack of empathy towards what is a terrible plight is deeply unsettling, more should be done to relieve the refugee crisis, especially since we've played a role in why there's so many refugees fleeing the middle east in the first place.

Sanctimonious rubbish. The prime concern of genuine refugees is safety for themselves and their families. These people are choosing to bypass closer safe countries to head for Europe in search of a 'better life' which actually makes them economic migrants rather than refugees. It's the children I feel sorry for because they have no choice.
Being idealistic when you're young is easy, but seeing the bigger picture of the negative effects this has on people in Europe matters. People in Britain for example are actually dying because of the demand and pressure put on the health system by this mass migration which denies them access to the services they need when they need it, something constantly and conveniently ignored by the sanctimonious supporters of mass migration. And that is just one issue.
It seems the distinction between 'refugee' and 'migrant' needs to be made because some keep ignoring it an an attempt to tug at peoples' heart strings and lay a guilt trip on them.
