So they will just go somewhere else . You can't stop the wave .

Or they'll die in the sea trying. They're already doing that anyway, sadly.

Greece? Tried that.
France? It's a lot further.
Spain? I doubt they will be any happier about it than Italy.
Turkey? Frying pan to the fire.
I suspect what they want to do is shut down the smugglers.
People find a way if they want to escape poverty war etc
Our concern is how many of them make it rather then drown in the sea and what we do when they arrive

Sounds like they've got it figured out. They can combine the tactic described (of preventing rescue ships at port) with the USCG's strategy of sinking migrant vessels with their deck pumps.
It's a proven model. Maybe we can make some coin off consultancy.
