You are assuming that culture and economics are not related to each other as well as that an analysis from a single point of view will yield an adequate representation of reality. However, that is incorrect. When assessing a situation such as the migrant crisis, all aspects - namely, culture, politics, economy, science and technology, geopolitics, history - must be covered in order to understand what is really going on.

Nonetheless, even from a purely economic viewpoint your argument fails to be consistent with reality.

For example, you failed to measure the economic value of the immigrants that arriving to Europe.

Lets measure their economic value.

• Most immigrants are young men from countries that have not yet modernized or are in the process of modernization.
• People from less modern and industrial countries tend to be less intelligent and have less education than people from industrial countries.
• Consequently, this mean that most immigrants from less industrial do not have high level skills. Most are low level skill workers.
• Low level jobs are beginning to disappear in industrial countries due to automation or outsourcing.
  

In conclusion, the West is basically importing a lot of low skill workers despite the fact that the supply for low level jobs is decreasing. Now if you analyze the current situation from a other viewpoints, you will find out that the West is in big trouble.
