The evidence shows that it is about asylum so to accept they are mostly economic migrants would be ignoring the data.it's simple logic, stop pretending it's all about asylum and accept most are economic migrants, they are making a choice of destination for their potential future prospects. one doesn't pay a smuggler thousands and risk life of that crossing just to be "safe", they want to work, they have to work, to pay back that debt and earn more for their future. offer simple entry process, into the country and registered properly. solves the gangs problem as there's no reason for them. rest of the problems, burden on housing, healthcare, etc. are the same however they arrive, should sort themselves out through general economic activity.
As a premise it just doesn't stand up.
