I'm saying you are focusing on the wrong issue here. These people are not risking death or worse just because they can't get a job at home, or want to meet Swedish babes.

Yes, some people will use this crisis as an opportunity to move to a better country, but I don't think it's horrible if we also accidentally help them while trying to the refugees.

Personally I hope all the money set aside for asylum policy goes towards refugees rather than making middle class west africans a bit happier.

hardly any west africans come to europe outside of france wtf dude

My hypothetical west africans were a reference the articles Ligur posted which featured middle class africans claiming asylum, it was a pithy way of refering to economic migrants who are claiming asylum as a way to get a foot in the door.

I'm just struggling with the idea here that economic migrants making asylum claims in the midsts of a horrendous refugee crisis are people to be defended. Which is what the post I replied to was doing.
