I think there is a misunderstanding, I meant to say that 40-50% of asylum seekers are accepted as valid asylum seekers after relatively thorough considerations. The entire process doesn't take months because we are careless in checking their applications. Although they do want to speed it up now since it keeps the people in limbo for too long.

Anyway, the real problem here is the same as the Euro - common institutions without common governance.

Like the EUro this is something the UK managed to remain apart from.
If you have nothing to loose, why settle for another bad place? It's common sense.
As for the lack of EU integration, people clearly wanted that in the referendums, no?
