  1. Such camps encourage illegals to come. They’ll be full in no time. Instead of spending taxpayer money on such things, solution are required, such as instant illegal pushback.

  2. It’s hard to draw the line between refugees and economic migrants. Even genuine refugees (who have no choice but to leave their country if they want to stay alive) have a right to aim for a better life. On the other hand, many economic migrants can come up with a story of why it is impossible for them to live in their country. Most of this is hard to verify from a distance.

    Still we need to make the distinction between refugees and economic migrants because the large number of economic migrants saps people’s willingness to give asylum to those who are genuinely in need of protection.

    There should be two separate routes, one for refugees and one for economic migrants. Most people don’t have any problems with giving asylum to genuine refugees. It’s the large number of economic migrants who use (abuse) the refugee route who make it harder for those who need protection most.
