You seemed to be under the impression that it was Syria Vs ISIS. Civil war broke out in 2011, ISIS (among others) used that to their advantage to gain ground and resources in Syria.
Syrians refugees have been fleeing Syria since around 2011-12, at least. I don't think ISIS invaded into Syria until late 2013

And when did this migration crisis start?
Good question, 2012. Seems to have happened not long after the Syrian Civil War broke out. Civil War breaks, less than a year later people flee the war-torn areas and refugees start pouring into neighboring countries.

And if had taken out Asssad in the first place we would not be in this mess.

Sanction till revolt.
Um, the US did impose sanctions on Assad. There also was a revolt in Syria, it started the civil war.
edit: On 18 May 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama signed an Executive order putting into effect sanctions against Assad in an effort to pressure his regime "to end its use of violence against its people and begin transitioning to a democratic system that protects the rights of the Syrian people."
Taken from Assad's wiki, it is sourced.

Sanction till revolt. Make the people see the world won't do business with their tyrannical regime.
And which paved the way for ISIS to expand into Syria?
You should also realize how little trade America had with Syria. The EU had more pull, but their sanctions haven't changed much. Iran, China, and Russia are bigger trade partners, and they like Assad just fine.

So you admit Obama failed. I'm glad we reached this point.
