I believe the perception that the immigration policy is "as much as possible" doesn't reflect reality. Many in the west feel it is the humane thing to offer immigrants in war torn ME an opportunity for a better life considering the selfish meddling the West has been involved in WRT ME policy for the last 100 years (think Sykes-Picot, which carved the ME up for UK/France ends). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement

Countries that had nothing whatsoever to do with Sykes-Picot or the Middle East also feel compelled to import huge numbers of people, so that is not the most parsimonious explanation, unless you think e.g. contemporary Sweden & Norway are somehow responsible for the actions of the UK & France 100 years ago.
