I could no more take in every homeless person I see, than feed every starving child. Neither do I try to console all those suffering a family bereavement, whether through illness, accident or murder in all its forms.
The entire world was royally screwed by the banking system, triggering events relating to a lack of money. Whether it was loss of your home, loss of your job, political upheaval, or an excuse for religious gangsters to start grabbing what they wanted at the expense of others' lives and livelihoods.
Crossing several borders, travelling through places you would be safe but not wanting to stay there, is not the definition of an asylum seeker. It is the definiton of an economic migrant, hellbent on getting to where they think they will be relatively rich at the expense of the people there.
The UK is not a charity. The UK cannot afford to be a charity. The UK needs to deny entry to these hordes of non-asylum seekers.

The definition of an economic migrant is someone that chooses to go to a place where they will be worse off financially than say, France, Germany or Sweden?
You and your ilk are the 'So long as I'm alright jack screw the rest of you' brigade aren't you?
Your statement on empathy is bewildering and sad to be honest.
