What's this? EU finally discovered other diplomatic means besides bending over? Color me surprised. Only time will tell if this is more of the same grandstanding and posturing, or instead serious business.

Europe doesn't choose which way the refugees travel. If they are persecuted i don't think they stop and consider their options. And if they travel alongside immigrants do you expect the autherities pick out the refugees and let the rest drown when they can't tell them apart?
Just to be on record i don't want anyone to drown. Every one in peril on the seas should be helped.

They can though. If they offered the option to apply for asylum in refugee camps, at embassies or such then you wouldn't have refugees risking their lives to make their way to Europe. As it stands, the laws requiring you to be inside the country to apply for asylum are abhorrent. They basically have the expectation that enough people will not be able to make it there, either because they don't want to undertake the journey, don't have the means to or because they die on their journey, to prevent them from being flooded. Either way, they're morally abhorrent as they put refugees lives at risk by not providing means of safe travel for them.

Nope.
That just means you're more people who misrepresent my post.
They can't go to an embassy in india and apply for asylum in germany from there. With the system I proposed, they can. It won't become reality though, do you know why? Because the laws are made in such a way that they expect people to be deterred from making their way to the country, either because they lack the means to, because they don't want to risk it or because they think enough people will die as to not flood the country.
