The master of a ship at sea as the moral and legal obligation to assist a ship in distress, if they can. There’s no skirting that obligation by assessing the legality of the ship’s planned path.
But maybe we should also stop rescuing people in house fires, as they might be burglars?
They are forced out of their countries. I get your opinion if it is about young people just looking for work. This is also happening. But there are mothers and babies and kids among those people. They don’t go onto a rubber boat for fun.
I bet you wouldn’t care about laws if the live of your family is in danger.
And even if it is illegal, can you explain how it is ok to push them back into the water and let them drown? Mothers and their kids?
Usually, because they know a second language, but the first safe country they pass through doesn’t use that language, or because they’ve got a relative living legally in a different country that they think can help them.
They are illegaly coming too. Also media is silent about this? It is the only thing they talk about.

Practically speaking, not really, because the jail time for Arson is a lot more than burglary.

What prevents them from seeking safety in the first safe country? Egypt etc, there are no civil wars there
