If these people were fleeing persecution in their own country, they would want to get to the FIRST country of safety , not risk their lives even more by travelling through several more SAFE countries ,then risk their lives trying to sneak into Blighty in a rubber dingy in the middle of the night . 

youve been given plenty of reasons why they may want to get to the uk, instead you carry on perpetuating lies and mistruths and peddling right wing drivel. none of this i just quoted changes the definition of what a refugee is.

Maybe they've heard stories about how generous the system of welfare is to asylum seekers, that are regularly peddled and widely publicised by lying rags like The Sun and The Express.

You can't expect facts to have any impact on his opinion, surely.

And if their first place of safety turned out to be living in a shanty town,or worse who can blame a few for continuing their search for a better life?

The dream may well be a false one but it might work out for a few.

The fact that they do take such risks ought to tell you something.

Among the thousands of refugees entering the EU there are many, many economic migrants who have no intentions of trying to claim asylum as they know they will be denied. These are the people who do a great disservice to the genuine asylum seekers by bringing the whole system into disrepute. If the genuine refugees followed EU rules and applied for asylum in the first safe country then it would be much easier to deal with the fakers.

Spot on mate.

However, they do not wish to pursue the 'legal' route, because they are 'economic migrants'.

That's it in a nutshell.

You've just agreed with "genuine refugees..." and in the same sentence claimed they are economic migrants.  You literally don't understand what you're saying.

Speaking of which , its no surprise they risk their lives to sneak in here illegally.  It beggars belief.
