In the fixation with high profile airport security, we've taken our eye off the ball and allowed vast numbers of unknown people just to walk right into Europe. If it wasn't so serious it'd be laughable.

The problem is how to stem the flow and how to remove people when we don't know where they've come from (no one with any sense will state they came from a country where to which they would face easy deportation).
Europe can say they won't take any more immigrants but for the still substantial numbers of migrants who are coming from places like Libya, Syria and Eritrea the prospect of living safety but illegally is far more appealing than living in danger albeit legally.
It's really hard to see how those in charge actually manage to do something about this.
