As much as I wish they did not come here it is Hobsons choice we cannot just turn a blind eye and hope they do not try, the fact is they are desperate to get here, no way should we hope they drown or let them drown.
If they are genuine refugees and some will be we have no choice but to accept them, to return them to their own lands would mean certain death for some of them, the EU needs to try and solve the problem not simply pass the buck to us.
