Anyone who pays the price can be a refugee and seek asylum whilst the most needy are left behind.
It's always been the case, those in the most danger are generally the poorest with no means of escaping, those that escape are the ones with the necessary wealth to enable them to do so.

Accepting them as refugees and giving them asylum gives the liberal type a feeling that they have done some good for those poor persecuted people, whilst chosing not to think of the ones that are in real danger

I think all this asylum from countries with problems and free movement in europe from poor to better off countries for financial reasons has to stop. If it remains uncontrolled we will end up with the better off countries overcrowded and dragged down coping with the financial strain. On the other hand the countries that these people are fleeing from will have less demand on resources and in time may become the richer countries. I wonder if the cycle will turn if we look far enough into the future.
