Because (as I've written before) the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol, signed by 146 nations including some of the most repressive on earth, now covers half the population of the planet!
It's become a bit of national virtue signalling which everyone signs and only idiots like us take any notice of!
Quote "Asylum should be given to those who face persecution 'for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion'."
Losing a Civil War? Welcome refugee.
You are gay and your country outlaws homosexualism? Welcome refugee.
Your country persecutes trade unionism? Welcome refugee.
The ruling party views you as a dangerous radical? Welcome refugee.
You worship the wrong sort of sky fairy? Welcome refugee.
Etc.
