The more clear-headed I think just don't think that the actions needed to stop the boats, and the fight with the blob that it would require, are worth it.

This requires indigenous young men to go out and shoot the people on the boats. They'll stop coming once they know it's a death sentence.

Europe isn't capable of doing that; its old men, old women, and (to an extent) its young women are all in agreement that indigenous young men should be replaced for [whatever reason]. They'll do anything to avoid raising their station in life because they believe they'll revolt as soon as it does, which is not an unreasonable thing to fear given that's when regime change generally happens.

(Well, Eastern Europe still can, but Eastern Europe is poor enough that the migrants won't stay in the country anyway, so it realistically still falls to the Western Europeans to start stacking bodies if they don't want to be invaded.)
