Accepting them will only encourage more to leave their own countries, and so more will die in sea disasters while the criminals get richer (a cycle for which the Europeans will naturally be blamed).
Returning them is the only sensible solution.

They are picked up by NGO ships and should be allowed to enter. Italy can issue a warning and a date that after that no more will be allowed.

The majority of migrants to Europe travel over land.

These are not NGO but smugglers or cooperate with them. Time that someone stop it. The good news is that EU cannot force Italy to stop. Latest news. Or maybe they don't want to stop them. Auntie Merkel is gone so those German ships cannot bring them there.
Bad condition on the ship? Well...they know how far they can go with it. No more excuses.
The only sorry I feel for innocent people who were lied about hope of new life in Europe. NGOs should be banned on Mediterranean sea
