> Refugees are not a problem?

Not a problem for what?

> Your family struggle with violence and poverty, yet the West should have tighter border controls?

What does my family's living conditions have to do with the west's border control policy?

> Who's 'officially' a refugee and who isn't?

I do not define this and you can find the definition used by various authorities readily available on the internet.

The country where I reside uses UNHRC definitions and does not consider applications of people who are not already in the country. But as far as I know, struggling with violence and poverty is generally not enough to qualify for refugee status.
