Chug,
I do get your humanitarian concerns, but do you really think that picking them up and taking them to Europe is the answer? The more that get through, the more will come. Month after month, year after year. Can/should Europe accommodate them all? How many would that eventually be? Millions, potentially.
Treating the symptoms won't cure the disease, as you have (in a different context) stated many times here. If the poor folks trying to escape to Europe started to see their friends returned to Africa instead of sending postcards from Europe saying, "Come on over, everything is great,". Maybe they might be discouraged and start to see the traffickers as the low-life scum they are.
Maybe you don't feel the numbers will soon become overwhelming. I suspect they shall.
