The problem I see is in rescuing them and bringing them to Europe, it will simply encourage more to try knowing they only need to get so far out, somehow the action to stop them attempting it needs to be at the departure end, possibly by assisting their Governments..
The other option is to return those rescued via a LCT or similar straight back onto the shore they departed from, the other unpalatable option would be to sink any likely ship or boats etc in the harbours along their coastline.
Personally I would simply not allow them entry nor any form of asylum application and use the LCT option to return them from whence they came.
