Spanish term or phrase: náufragos de primera y de segunda categoría

I can't find any references to Category 1 or Category 2 shipwrecks. Any help appreciated!

Context:

El drama humano vivido por los pasajeros de los buques rescatados este año mientras iban a la deriva en el océano y de cuyos destinos ningún Estado se quiso hacer cargo ponen en evidencia que para Europa existen náufragos de primera y de segunda categoría y que la política de control de fronteras pasa por delante del respeto a la vida y dignidad de las personas.

it means that if you are a second-class shipwrecked person, you are not as important for them as if you are a first-class shipwrecked person, like if you are a second-class citizen, and would not have the same rights as a first-class citizen in a country that does not treat all its citizens the same.
