As a future spouse in not a refugee - they would be sent back to Thailand - there is no imminent danger there.

The young men in the boat are not refugees. Best they want jobs and free benefits

Worse case seeking crime or terror. Real refugees remain in the nearest safe country

from Italy, Tuerkey, Greece, Spain?

Which makes `em travelers, in every next country of their journey.

Not refugees any longer, as soon they reach any of the mentioned countries!

From there, they are only optimizing their "income" and the chances, not to get a return ticket.

You just don't have a clue, do you?

Those countries take more than us already and they are entitled to travel to whichever country they like - you are trying to argue a flat earth - and deliberately deviating from the OP
