So they have to opt for the choice - to stay refugees and enjoy hospitality of the gracious Europeans or to become immigrants and face the reality of modern capitalism.
I was talking about the standard ASYLUM SEEKER process, they have not turned into immigrants in Germany. It's just that our system is not fast enough for so many people and they are not allowed to do much until after their asylum has been granted. Of course it can also not be granted, in which case they will be sent back. They are only allowed to face the realities of modern capitalism once they have been granted residence in some way, the government does not allow anyone without a residence permit to legally work in Germany. Of course both the asylum seekers as well as the ones who try to avoid registration and enter illegally can try to work illegally, but some of those may easily end up in criminal circles, both as victims and as perpetrators. I'm just not sure what you are talking about regarding asylum seekers vs immigrants since the application for asylum in Germany is usually not the nicest process and when you succeed you are usually subject to the same capitalism as an immigrant unless you want to live relatively miserable.

So do I, but will it stop them?
