I wish I was in a position to offer some practical help but I'm physically, (and financially), unable to do so at the moment - we are currently 'looking after' four horses.

If we use your quote as an analogy, we as a nation can't physically or financially take in anymore refugees.

 

But leaving this aside for a moment let me ask you this question.

 

As you are at full capacity at the moment with four horses if you were forced to take in one more horse which didn't mix with the other four and could cause them possible harm.....

 

What would you do in this situation, get rid of the four who lived in some sort of harmony or get rid of the one causing the unrest ?

Neither - in a way that was exactly the situation we found ourselves in when we took in the last two horses - one of which just would not 'get on' with one of the original two.  We managed the situation and still have all four horses.  If push came to shove and we had to take in a fifth horse we certainly would not 'get rid of' any of them if doing so meant that they would be in danger or come to harm.!
