Of course if the Church refuses to make a complaint, then no action should be taken. Otherwise, option 4 is the best one. Asylum shouldn't be granted to people who treat with contempt the laws of the country from which they seek hospitality.


Are their demands really that unreasonable?

Would you want to live in Afghanistan or Pakistan? If you can't say 'yes' to that question, then don't complain when people there say 'no'.
At first glance, this is reasonable, but consider that this would apply to most of the world. And if every who wants to leave for this reason is granted free entry into Austria, very soon Austria will not be much wealthier than those places as well.
Asylum should be for people who are actually persecuted and unfortunately, that isn't true in many (if not most) cases.
