Austria's conservative-led government said on Friday it is offering Syrian refugees a "return bonus" of 1,000 euros ($1,050) to move back to their home country after the fall of Bashar al-Assad.

Conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer reacted quickly to Assad's overthrow on Sunday, saying the same day that the security situation in Syria should be reassessed so as to allow deportations of Syrian refugees.

I feel so bad for syrian refugees. They are scared they will be send back. Many have lived here in europe now for like a decade. This is their home now too. Imagine having to leave your friends, your family, your job, your home AGAIN to go to a place you haven't been to in so long. Your kids leaving their school and friends behind. Maybe a girlfriend/boyfriend they got. Going to a place they haven't been since being a baby or maybe at all. Where everything is different and everyone speaks a different language.

It's so fucking cruel. They already have homes here. Leave them alone and let them go back only if they themselves want to.

And then people will yell "but the country is full!" While their white trash makes 5 babies that grow up to be assholes.

they'll yell that the country is full as industries are begging for more workers and rural towns are dying out
