Personal opinion time:
People laugh at the guy saying that these refugees living in limbo with nothing to do and no prospects is one of the problems right now, but it is known that having no occupation is one of many factors causing anxiety and depression.
This refugee crisis is a multi faceted issue and while I do agree that something needs to be done, it requires a very careful approach. These are not issues that you can solve with blanket bans and legislation, like the far-right wants you to think. There are no "easy" solutions. What would have been needed from the beginning was a clear system to support and implement these people in some kind of work, even if it's just voluntary service. Get them to do something.
I agree with you that this whole thing was botched from the beginning. There was no plan in place, and this is where we are today. The unfortunate truth is that Europe now has to move forward with the refugee situation via an intrinsically broken system. At this point, there is no easy solution, and anybody saying otherwise is kidding themselves. I foresee a difficult road ahead, and it's a problem of Europe's own creation.
As for the refugees having nothing to do, of course that will slowly drive people crazy. But to suggest that we should be grateful that they are not killing more people (as an earlier poster did), is ludicrous. The solution to the problem lay right before us at the beginning of this journey, yet people decided it was best to throw caution to the wind. It was not an issue of racism or Islamophobia, but of order and infrastructure. The problem is that once the floodgates have been opened, there is no turning back, and people were simply not thinking logically. People wanted to play internet hero, and now they are claiming that we should be happy that refugees aren't killing
more people? Disgusting. Just own the fact that this approach was a mistake (not you specifically, but others who were and continue defending it).
