1. What measures would you put in place to discourage people arriving by boat or plane, if any?
What we do now is not "dicouraging" - we are plainly refuse to help others and push them away.
From personal experience: besides of shooting people there is not much you can do. I know an East German woman who was smuggled by bad bad people (the West Germans called them "freedom helpers" then - it is all a matter of perspective isn't;-) She was not in material strife, not harmed in physical ways etc. - she was just sick of living under Communism.
The proposal above includes a camp for screening etc - it is not a free ticket.
You did not provide an answer to the question.
I did. You just do not like the answer. People from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Sri Lanka etc. are not fleeing for fun - they escape war, were tortured, have often lost relatives etc. The only deterrence is making life more miserable than in a war. Finally killing them. That what we start to do now. It is a crime. Full stop. Regards Peter
