Interesting, never head of it, thanks.
Thought it is funny for Hungary to demand the others to contribute real money, while they just 'pass on' part of the money they would have received, quite the noble sacrifice^^.

Also, this was after Merkel's "Wir schaffen das" if I am not mistaken, so right in the middle when a million people were already on the way. An effort to make refugee camps in Turkey / Lebanon more livable would have worked before summer 2015, it's not like someone who just forked over all their money to a trafficker is going to turn around and return to a camp for the promise of running water.

Refugee camps are still full of millions of people, who could still make their way.
There is a reason everybody in Europe is afraid Erdogan might 'open the gates' again.

Nothing stops you from taking refugees from refugee camps.

You can do that with immigrants, but not with refugees, which are by definition gone "soon". You're educating another countries workforce, and if you look at how much "brief education" costs (multiple billions a year just for basic german courses), i can't help but notice that there's no benefit, ever. And language is the most important part in education, considering that something like 8 out of 10 refugees/immigrants throw their apprenticeships as as soon as they reach theory.

Germany for example provides millions of Euros giving tens of thousands of foreign students free university education.
If you have a look around at a German university, you will find up to 10% Chinese students sometimes. Students who, by the way, overwhelmingly leave Germany once they graduate!
Now, why would the state waste millions on people who will not work a day of their life in Germany?
The answer is, that once these guys return to their home country, they take their 'German value/education' with them. They will some day find a job where they maybe can influence the relationship of their company with a German company. They will act as an intermediate.
Believe it or not, there are real measurable results from this policy. Germany does not give foreigners free education out of altruistic motives, but economic self interest. We are not 'export world champion' from nothing!
Now, with Syrian refugees it might well become the same scenario. First they learn our language and 'values' and whatnot. Then they first contribute towards our GDP in Germany itself. And later, when they return home to rebuild Syria they have already ties with us, so contracts for German companies and Banks will come flowing in.
Sure, it will not all be straight forward, but to claim that there will be no benefit at all, is most likely wrong!

Which assumes that some day they will actually return.
So far there is no reason to believe that the conflict against ISIS and Assad will be resolved any time in the future.

They contribute towards your GDP with the money you gave them, no?

That's literally the sales pitch of "pro open arms politicians", which then was debunked by pretty much anyone who actually understands what he's talking about.
First: don't compare chinese students with syrians who are just learning basic language skills and a job like Maurer (wall-builder). You won't do business with a home builder in syria once the war is over. The contribution to our GDP is literally paid by the government, and will not in your lifetime top the initial costs of just having german courses.
"First they learn our languages and values", right. You do realize that they don't, yes? The older generation doesn't even bother with our language, and values are incompatible to certain parts of their religion. So what you're really trying to say is "we're missionaring them".

Your vision does not match reality. It's actually way worse for their children than for them.
Migrants know about the differences between the two countries, they experienced it, they lived here and there. The children only goes back to their "home countries" during the holidays and have a very disturbed vision of those countries. We see this perfectly in France, first wave migrants don't cause much trouble and are exploited ; but their children are not as disciplined as they are.

Then let them stay? They don't have to go back if they don't want to.
Well then you're noticing wrong
We find that an increase in the supply of refugee-country immigrants pushed less educated native workers (especially the young and low-tenured ones) to pursue less manual-intensive occupations. As a result immigration had positive effects on native unskilled wages, employment and occupational mobility.

Or the fact that the fiscal impact of migrants is small (although it's in the UK).
www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk
Letting people stay in refugee camps has costs as well. A lot of lives lost doing nothing which only cost money to feed. And that's not even including the opportunity costs it all brings.

Smaller wage than average, harder living condition and working condition that the norm, their diploma are usually not recognized, etc.

Might the lower than average wage be due to lower productivity? I don't have any data on this but it might explain at least part of the difference. Another question is how much less they get paid than the average. Maybe nobody else is willing to work at such a low rate? If it weren't for them, likely nobody would do that kind of work.
As for the recognition of degrees, I agree that this should be the norm. The only difficult case may be if they studied medicine, but even then steps should be taken to let them start working in their profession as soon as possible.

It really shouldn't come as a surprise that first generation immigrants tend to find work in their new home economies that other, non-immigrant workers are less likely to take on. Low wages, poor conditions, and/or uniquely unpleasant job aspects all feed into this.

the first big wave of immigrant in the late 60s early 70s got low wage because that was the plan : in france for example bouygues lobbied hard because that kind of workforce had no history of social clash/protest and they could easily exploit it

I see. So then my question would be, had this immigration wave not occurred, would "natives" have got those same jobs but for higher salaries or would those lower-paying jobs simply never have been created in the first place?

We see this perfectly in France, first wave migrants don't cause much trouble and are exploited ; but their children are not as disciplined as they are. What do you mean "first wave migrants are exploited"? Smaller wage than average, harder living condition and working condition that the norm, their diploma are usually not recognized, etc. Might the lower than average wage be due to lower productivity? I don't have any data on this but it might explain at least part of the difference. Another question is how much less they get paid than the average. Maybe nobody else is willing to work at such a low rate? If it weren't for them, likely nobody would do that kind of work. As for the recognition of degrees, I agree that this should be the norm. The only difficult case may be if they studied medicine, but even then steps should be taken to let them start working in their profession as soon as possible. the first big wave of immigrant in the late 60s early 70s got low wage because that was the plan : in france for example bouygues lobbied hard because that kind of workforce had no history of social clash/protest and they could easily exploit it I see. So then my question would be, had this immigration wave not occurred, would "natives" have got those same jobs but for higher salaries or would those lower-paying jobs simply never have been created in the first place?
interesting question, i don't know if i could provide you a decent answer but for sure the native had already higher salaries, that's why companies like bouygues etc wanted to do more profit by paying less their workers
or maybe they would have imported directly people from other part of the world for x amount of times like china is doing in africa
