Would the refugees ever go back

Dear Dr Pipes,

I have never heard any talk about refugees who are entering Europe ever going back. I know that currently the situation in their native countries is terribly bad. But if we assume that the situation will get better then these refugees should plan to ga back. Why is there no talk of their ever returning? Why do we call the West evil when guests to them do not ever want to go back. Honestly, this situation is not limited to the west alone. India's guests from Bangladesh never want to return to the country that they tried so hard to create twice (once in 1947 and then again in 1971).
