        Fantastic news. This should be the model for dealing with all ships illegally people smuggling. Now how about they sell the vessel and use the money to repatriate the migrants that they "rescued"?

        If there is no “illegal immigrant taxi” and everybody returned back, nobody is going to try the crossing and the lives will be saved.

        No just thought wasn’t worth elaborating as any sane person with basic knowledge and understanding would realise with it. You really think those fleeing from war etc are going to stop now one ship isn’t there?

        If all ship left and if anyone reaching Europe by sea will immediately sent back, why anybody would try to cross by sea?
