from a moral perspective i'd like to be compassionate and let them stay

from a more pragmatic perspective i realize that doing so gives and incentive for others to try to flee here. and realistically there has to be a limit on immigration, otherwise you just end up importing poverty and social strife on a mass scale.
I do understand that, but your refugees aren't (are they?) drifting at sea without food or water, and with young families? I honestly don't see how you couldn't give them at least temporary shelter in those circumstances.
