   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.
