    That doesn’t change the fact that international law tells them to seek the first safe country. If you go further you are an illegal immigrant, and over the last 8 or so years I lost absolutely all of my empathy towards those people.

    or because they’ve got a relative living legally in a different country that they think can help them.

    Then get a visa and go the legal way.

      This is not true at all. It’s not a requirement of the Convention on the Status of Refugees or any other international law.
