No, most of them are from syria fleeing war though there are also iraqi and afgans fleeing Isis but in my lesser figures.

iraqis afghans and pakistanis destroy their passports and pretend to be syrian because they know european governments will look more favourably upon their claims. none of them are fleeing isis. they are leaving camps in lebanon and turkey (safe countries) in order to get better living conditions for themselves. these are economic migrants.

Incorrect. The reason they are being let into Europe is because they are in fact being recognised as refugees, not economic migrants. The countries in between, like Turkey and Hungary don't want them. That's why they're stuck in camps. In addition, the situation is complicated by the various treaties and tax arrangements within Europe and the EU, and the fact the refugees want to reach greener pastures.

In essence, the EU is behaving a bit like a very large country, instead of a group of smaller countries loosely cooperating with each other. This scares the shit out of countries like Russia, as it is solid evidence of the EU being functional rather than dysfunctional. It goes against the Russian anti-EU propaganda.
