A small number of people lumped in with refugees are actually economic migrants. There are economic migrants even when there aren't wars, but the refugee crisis makes it easier for them to get through with the pack. It also makes it harder for them to make it when they do get through, which explains the ones who want to go back.
Smugglers find it important to sell people on it because they get paid up front, and an economic migrant may be able to pay more than an actual refugee.
