The only answer I can come up with is as they are arriving in thousands, without passports or any identification (thrown overboard just before "rescue") take them back to the nearest shore they were picked up from, in their thousands. Tell them to repeat their stories to anyone else willing to take a risk.
Of course no terrorist, jihadist, potential suicide bomber or just general hate-filled looney would think of gaining entry to a Western enemy country by such means, so that's no worry. Genuine refugees from a war zone whose lives are actually in danger are another matter though, but there lies the question, why are they not willing to return home when the danger is over? Why are they not sent back?
Swamping a country and it's infrastructure with many thousands of people that the majority of it's population do not want will not work and is a time bomb ticking.
