Most people living in the EU don't want this endless stream of migrants problem is the bureaucracy doesn't have their best interests in mind. It's good for business to import cheap labor which has far reaching economic impact that is beneficial for the very rich at the expense of everyone else.
This could very easily be solved by simply closing down the borders and turning people away. These people aren't going to starve to death or die or whatever other lies you've been told. First boat gets turned back to lybia, second, third and guess what eventually the faucet stops. The migrants realize and don't embark for greener pastures that costs thousands of dollars.
We are doing that, yet have been extremely inefficient in the past. The problem is mostly to determine who is a refugee and who is not. Especially when identification is problematic. In the past, the newly hired translators couldn't hear the difference between accents leading to many economical immigrants being accepted. Mediterranean coastal control is being increased with sometimes shady deals with Libya.
Europe is trying to find a balance in being humane and discouraging asylum seekers being followed by economical immigrants.
