Settle them down on any vacant land, fence it off, call it a temporary camp and introduce a military regime for 12 years. Provide them with food, enforce security (i.e. arrange police on the inside). And my favourite — forced labour. Provide with construction equipment and make them build roads, houses, powerplants, waste water purification plants, etc. Virtually force them to build their own neighborhood. Same applies to farming lands (vehicles going to have to be provided as well, unfortunately). Maybe some industry, which is unpopular in the western countries, so that this community would repay at lest partly the expenses spent on it.
So that a refugee would have a choice: go in, apply to the rules, work hard, and in return you'll be perfectly safe, fed, medically trated and eventually even get some of those civilised properties like a house, fresh veggies on the table and so on. Either that or get the hell out.
This would require quite some investment, one or two thousand soldiers to enforce order, all those machines and materials, but i believe the cost is comparable to what europe bears right now.
You could go for a half measure of course: fence the same area off, put them on there, just make sure no weaponse are smuggled in, and then just let them be by themself. Just live off that land in their traditional fashion. Boil in their own "culture". It's cheaper, but you'll soon find out, that there is a little middle east inside that fence, with their own jews and palestines, assad and isis, and plenty of bloodshed.
Either way, i would reccomend to NOT place that area within the borders of your country. Make it all somewhere wehere they come from, issue a UN mandate or something, that expropriates that territory from whichever country there is. And bring all those refugees over.
