They're economic migrants, same as the other 10 million who've illegally entered the EU in the past decade. Stop conflating them with asylum seekers.
Conflation is a Marxist technique: in the UK, one official deliberately conflates economic migrants with surgeons, "Some of them might be surgeons. Why wouldn't we want surgeons? What's wrong with you?", despite less than 0.01% being surgeons.
