"it certainly is a big ask"
Lots and lots of post colonialist patronising going on here - big ask - my arse.
These people are asking support from countries that are largely responsible for what has made them refugees - the very first "favour" that needs to be granted if that the democratic (sic) West should stop arming and supporting the animals that are creating these tragedies - very far from being even discussed, let alone granted.
We owe these many of these people for the state we left their countries in after centuries of milking them dry.
