Yes it is. One lawful immigrant in and one unlawful one out. These two people are obviously not the only people emigrating from or migrating to, the UK.

Old Boy says they are being housed in 4-star hotel accommodation in the UK and in tents in the rest of Europe. This is clearly a flawed comparison which understandably he has not backed up with evidence. To your credit, you have tried to help him out with some anecdotal evidence.
In essence, hotels in the UK and Europe are used. All European countries seem to use a variety of accommodation.

How do you know that they were quite happy living in tents or worse?
Most do seek asylum in countries that they pass through, we don't take as many asylum seekers as our European peers. It's those with connections to the UK and other reasons who continue on here across the risky English channel. Of the top ten countries accepting refugees, only Poland, Turkey and Germany are in Europe and even Turkey is only partly in.
