On your first point they have to make land in one country, obviously, and that's where they have to register. After that they might well choose to move to a country where they have relatives or - because your forebears attempted to eliminate them in genocidal attacks and, many years later, attempted to exploit them once they discovered the value of oil and essentially occupied them for many years - they speak English and wanted to choose a country where English is spoken. Those from ex-colonies tend to head back to the occupying country. That's why France has so many.
So all these people from Syria and Afghanistan attempting to enter the UK speak English...really? 
Is that what I said? "
All these people"? Come on, Dave; no need for straw men. You're better than that :-))
More interestingly, do you really believe the country in which they first arrive should be the only one that accepts responsibility for them?
But isn't that the EU policy now? Hasn't the EU done a deal with Turkey for them to contain all the migrants there? Hasn't Donald Tusk told migrants they are not welcome in Europe?

Indeed, the EU is attempting to stem the tide of migrating Arabs and we have no idea as to how effective that policy will be. The problem is that the EU's leaders had no coherent policy whatsoever at the outset. It's that lack of forethought that's created so many issues.
On the second point you say "large numbers of migrants are from countries in Africa and the Far East, where there is no conflict taking place." but are they claiming asylum? I also dispute your claim they're a 'Large number', certainly from the Far East. And being in or out of the EU will make absolutely no difference to those seeking to get into the UK.
And describing Africa and the Far East as places "where there is no conflict taking place" is incorrect. Islamic insurgencies and terrorism have always been an issue in the Far East while Africa was where ISIS was almost certainly formed and is gradually becoming a battleground between ISIS and moderates in Islam.
Well, approx 175,000 migrants came to Europe from Afghanistan alone in 2015, so I suppose it depends upon what you'd call a large number. Seems pretty large to me.

Er... they're not actually in the Far East. The Far East is generally considered to include China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Mongolia, Noprth and South Korea, Taiwan, Brunei, Cambodia, E Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Burma - well, you get the drift.
And your argument regarding immigration fails to even mention that the country from which the most migrants arrive is India. Nothing to do with the EU, then.
Not according to this:

But the official statistical return shows "Net migration of EU citizens was estimated to be 184,000. Non-EU net migration was 188,000. The largest number of applications for asylum, including dependants, came from nationals of Iran (4,811; +2,324), followed by Pakistan (3,511; -1), Iraq (3,374; +2,367), Eritrea (3,340; -270) and Afghanistan (3,133; +1,423). There were 2,235 (+680) Syrian nationals granted asylum or an alternative form of protection in the YE March 2016 and a further 1,667 Syrian nationals granted humanitarian protection under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme.
But the reality is making sense of the statistics on immigration is a mammoth task. But this is a summary:

Finally, I will answer your question, despite the fact that you've dodged mine. I do believe the UK has a global responsibility to help those less fortunate than ourselves. If we're such a wealthy country, as the Leave camp kept telling us throughout their campaign, then obviously we could easily cope with a several million. Unless of course, the Leave campaign was telling porkies...
No-one is saying that we shouldn't help people less fortunate than themselves. But surely it's better to help them in their own country or one nearby than expecting them to trek thousands of miles across unfamiliar countries to somewhere where they have no home, job, family?
On that we're in complete agreement. I suspect the problems have arisen because of the ISIS threats, the randomly-imposed imposition of their brand of Sharia law and the rather dissolute nature of the previous Arab governments.
