They could stop the boats tomorrow, by creating safe routes for people seeking asylum to enter the country.

They could stop the boats tomorrow, by creating safe routes for people seeking asylum to enter the country.
There is an argument that that wouldn't work as 'loads of people are economic migrants and not refugees so the safe route wouldn't be available to them and they would still pay smugglers'.
What they could do is resource the processing of claims properly so people not eligible could be sent home quickly but they don't seem to want to do that for some reason. Maybe because they don't want to admit that the vast majority are genuine refugees and having them in limbo suits the stats?

Oh yes, there are certainly possible solutions but they're not ones that will go down well with Farage so the Tories are scared of actually trying them.

They know that they can't actually "stop the boats" but they've got too tied up in that to admit it.
So, they need to find a scapegoat for why they can't do it and the Rwanda plan which will never come into force due to lefty lawyers is perfect for explaining their failure.
