It may indeed be that many of those that migrate are wealthier (and healthier) than many of those that do not.
One could search the answer in Google, Bing or another search engine of choice, it's not a secret.
The answer to the questions posed is mostly 'no' though.

As for your proposed answer, concerning the entire planet that is probably true to some extent and hardly very surprising.
Most parents would rather see their children in safety than themselves without their children, don't you think?

So fear-based politics that return us to pre-20th century morals, discards a lot of social achievements, and ends up in some wicked national socialism model that perpetuates conflict.
Sounds like a terrible idea to me...

The 1951 Geneva Convention on Refugees — created after the shameful turning away of those fleeing Nazi Germany — obliged its signatories to accept refugees, even if they have no documents, no visa, no passport, and no resettlement authorization. There is no such thing as an “illegal asylum seeker.” People have a right to refuge if they are forced from their homes by persecution and war. The United States and the countries of Europe have signed this convention or its 1967 Protocol. Turkey has not signed. It only offers temporary refuge.

I already quoted some numbers on other criminality these people engage in, no need to tell me.

That is based on nothing but your own assumption and makes no sense.
By your example, Greece would have to be full of violent criminals because their tax evasion rate is so high.
Makes you wonder how people can enjoy their holidays there with all the grenades flying around.

Police themselves are often attacked in Sweden (as well as firefighters) with rocks, and in 2012, a Malmö police station was even attacked with a bomb.
While you are right that respect for the police is going down, this is partially because politics missed the opportunity to adapt criminal laws and enforce them. Your suggestion that we just punish everyone who fits a certain stereotype with expulsion from the country is nothing but a huge injustice in itself.
