That is exactly what is being tried here ... with just a moderate success-rate.
 
Also the North-American immigration situation is totally different.
 
People in Europe need to realize at certain locations here there is a wall too.
 Countries like Hungaria, Romania, Bulgaria physically sealing-off their
eastern border (which is the outside border of the EU).
 
Another problem is that certain countries are bothered more by the
asylum-seekers than others. Greece, Italy and Spain for example. The deal is
that it is considered a common problem and will be dealt with that way meaning
that the ones who aren't bothered share in the burder and the cost anyway.
 
Overland migration from Turkey to Greece seems now well contained and Italy has
 also said it is done with the numbers it already took. Spain is getting there
as well but they're still bothered by the narrows near Gibraltar which can be
negotiated on a good day.
