Not OP, but legally you have to claim asylum in the first country you arrive in, continuing further to get to a more desirable country makes you an economic migrant, not a refugee. For example, if someone flees from Syria, they can legally only claim asylum in the first country they enter, continuing on to Germany, UK, France, etc. means they legally aren't refugees as soon as they leave the first non-Syrian country they enter. That's probably what OP is talking about, if someone flees a country because they think their life is in danger, they shoudln't be allowed to travel though multiple safe countries and apply for asylum once they get into a country with better social benefits.
