Your link was sceptical about the Australian process as it found that migrants now come by plane instead of boat.

Trying to tackle the symptoms rather than the cause clearly doesn't work. You need to analyse where they're coming from and help resolve the issues there. That's something for a coalition of the willing.

You're going Hugh on me! Use your imagination!

To repeat, there is a national emergency that the government should declare. We should shut the door on migrants coming from safe countries using the forces at our disposal.

Your point about arriving by plane, according to my understanding airlines won't accept travellers who are not visa-cleared or visa-exempt. In any case, such travellers would be documented, would be detained at a UK airport and returned to flight origin; the airline would be fined for visa infringements.
