Because if they had told us that it would be plain that these are economic migrants - NOT refugees.
Refugees will make a home in the first safe place, because they are out of danger.
Refugees do not demonstrate and demand that they be allowed to travel to a country of their choice..Incidentally a non Muslim country where the culture is entirely different.
Wouldn't they be happier in Turkey, a Muslim country that is part of NATO, therefore declared free and democratic.....no of course not, they want to be part of a better economic country.
So we did not kill the mother and her two boys, the parents and the criminal traffickers are totally responsible for their deaths.
And as for all these people who want to hug a refugee...Are they doing it to feel morally superior....are they going to be responsible for feeding them, clothing them, paying for their education and their health care needs??

We should not be accepting any of these people. They do not want to be registered so that we know who they are or where they come from, they do not want to abide by the rules......and as sure as God made little apples they will want US to conform to their ideas of how society should be....More veiled women in black, more disaffected young men with the potential to do harm.
