Migrant Crisis continues

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32383126

As the civil unrest in the Middle East and Northern Africa continues, more and more refugees are pouring into the European Union. They pay a thousand euros each for the ten mile crossing and some pay with their very lives. Syria, Eritrea, Libya. These are some of the countries that they flee from. Can Europe find a better way to smooth immigration into its borders? Is there a way to avoid this loss of life? This article suggests a ten point immigration plan to smooth passage into the EU. However, I don't know if this will convince all Europeans that allowing more immigrants into their countries is a good idea, especially with the current economic instability.

I also think that the current economic instability is having a significantly negative impact on this issue. How can European countries open their borders to support more individuals when their economies are a mess?
