Doesn't this make it worse for the countries they come from, thereby creating a desire to emigrate and thus add to the problem?

If a life on benefits is so attractive vs working then that's where the problem lies - come here to work, pay into the system and be a good citizen then there's a place for you, or don't come. Would it be so hard to hire former military personnel to work on contract and get amongst the people traffickers to make life very uncomfortable for them & send the above message to those looking to seek a better life.
