Brazil was the first South American country to take in Syrian refugees and now Argentina has followed suit.
Syrians now the largest refugee group in Brazil

The refugees will continue to arrive because Syria is will remain FUBAR for a long while to come. As has been said by Fareed Zakaria, the US strategy of "supporting moderate rebels" in Syria simply won't work because in this war there are no moderates. You have terrorist rebels like Al Quaeda and ISIS against the terrorist Assad government which has used chemical weapons against its own people. The Kurds are the group the US should be arming--they are fighting ISIS for the Western world--yet we have left them out to dry.
On this map from Wikipedia you can see no less than five different groups holding territory in Syria.
