I wondering what the authorities are planning to do with those they decide are migrating for purely economic reasons. I can't imagine someone who's been dragged from the Med. being particularly happy about being 'rescued' then sent back. Poverty is of course awful but are we really going down the route of using that as a reason to offer refuge because if we are, there's countless millions more people who'll qualify and might well decide to make the same trip. At what point will it stop do you reckon?...

It shouldn't, the point is to offer sanctuary from war torn areas and provide safe haven until the situation has rectified, it's now in its 3rd year and still no solution has been found apart from abandoning search and rescue/shooting boats before they set sail which is really the last (if at all an) option and not a cure to the issue
Economic migrants should be judged separately each on its own merits, this may sound like I changed my tune on this but this is the current rules for non Eu migrants, I am still a supporter of freedom of movement inside EU
