Not all immigration is created equal. There's the economic migration and asylum seekers. Those are 2 distinct groups of people with different motives.

For the true asylum seekers, that feat for their life wherever they're from for example, the laws of the country they're entering just don't matter. If it's a choice between life as an illegal or death I think we would all choose life.

For the economic cases, sure. That's where the legal immigration system applies. And I agree with what you said about rules and each country gets to decide.
