So tell me, how does the EU magically drum up money for all of this?

Then the possible remainning part of the funding, well, at the moment quite a few European countries are borrowing money with negative interest rates. So I assume they can borrow quite a pile of money before the interedt rates become unbearable. And to be clear, this is in my mind one of the most important if not the most important thing EU should be investing money for its own sake. And EU does not need to give the money to charter cities, mo ey can be loaned as well.
If European taxpayers don't want their taxes going to other EU countries then that should tell you something about their desire to aid people outside the EU.
Charity starts at home.
If you want to pay taxes to house, feed, educate and care for 3 million extra people, fine by me, just don't make me pay for your charity. In fact, why don't you already take some on your house?
I work hard and burn myself out to pay for my children, and mine alone, not for others'.
Something like up to 80% are on welfare and public housing etc.
You don't work or go to school, you go back.
Shifting discussion from the cost of refugees to talking about only the food cost, or whatever it is that £37.75 a week amounts to, seems like a deliberate dodge. I'd be pretty insulted if I was from the UK. Obviously that's not a lot of money because obviously its not the whole picture.
What they are paid, or that they are paid at all, is never ever a relevant £ figure in these discussions unless its introduced to make it sound artificially small. When discussing cost, nothing but the total £ cost per refugee matters.
The stipend is for food and all other living expenses - clothes, heating etc.
