“…a voluntary coast watch should be set up”
There already is such an organisation, Sandy:

Unfortunately by the time anybody with any authority gets to investigate their reports another boatload of illegals has disappeared into the ether. No, there is no easy answer to this problem. But a more robust approach is needed. Towing the boats to these shores (instead of towing them back France), providing pocket money (instead of leaving them penniless) and providing accommodation (instead of keeping them contained in internment camps until deportation) is an easy option and it’s not the solution.
“…do we really want such a society - and its lawless citizens - to be members of our euro-club?”
As I pointed out earlier, no we don’t, and the very fact that Albania should even be considered for membership, let alone be accepted as official candidates is reason enough alone to quit.
