Rejected asylum just means that there is no humanitarian reason why they couldn’t return to their home country, not that they couldn’t fit into Europe.

For example, I know a young man who came here from Tajikistan. His asylum request was rejected, but because that process took so long, he had already built up a whole life here. He has a lot of local friends, a girlfriend and a got full education in gastronomy, where he is working full time. He got a special permit to remain here due to support from local people.
