There are many cases where helping others is legally mandatory. For instance, if you find somebody stranded at sea.
But we are talking about countries here, so legality is not the issue. The issue is, in my opinion, that for years, the EU have sold itself as an humanist endeavour.
There is also the issue that we, Europeans, are responsible for a lot of what this people is running away.
There is also the practical issue that hide one's head in the sand it's not going to solve the problem.
Oh, and there are ethics, of course. But that is a boring unfashionable issue, so we will forget about it.
