From what I can tell, a big part of the problem in Europe is that people seeking asylum are prohibited from making a living (due to widespread belief in the lump of labor fallacy) and so have to be dependent on welfare.

This is exactly how we got here. We allowed them to work to make temporary asylum permanent migration.
