Is this not what Denmark are doing? If it slows the trade in human trafficking and reduces illegal immigration we should try it.
Australia and Israel have both tried off shoring migrants - both systems failed and the costs were exorbitant. Perhaps this government should learn from these countries?

The best solution (you'll never fully stop it) is greater cooperation with our EU neighbours, particularly France. Not easy as the French can be awkward buggers (!!) but we need to work diplomatically with all our European allies.

Getting back into the Dublin Convention (and improving it) would be a start.
