You have to admit it is more complicated than that though. It's more complicated than jas describes too.
Is enabling people trafficking by having a fleet of boats hanging out on the libian coast really going to save more people than ending the practice all together?
It's absolutely true that countless other things should be done to help the poor around the world, but I genuinely don't see how encouraging masses of people to set out to sea in sinking boats helps anything at all?
