"‘Why don’t they stay in France?’
Most refugees head for a country where there is some link of language, family or community. North Africans stay in France because they have some French. Refugees from what were once UK colonies often have English as a second language."

Surely the language by itself is at best one factor and not a particularly strong one? Approximately zero refugees from the global south have any pre-existing knowledge of German, Hungarian, or Swedish, etc.
