That is no Occam’s Razor, that is the ostrich’s head in the sand. I repeat the question: why do West European governments provide these incentives to the migrants?

For the same reason they offer cradle-to-grave benefits to their own people, as well as benefits to economic migrants from the Middle East and Eastern Europe - liberal do-goodism enabled in part by over 70 years of US military protection which has allowed Western Europe to avoid most military spending and develop massive welfare states.
