Post EU Referendum

In any case, if the EU is to encourage membership of Schengen and even punish member states from temporarily controlling their land borders like they did with Germany a couple of years ago then the EU needs to take at least some responsibility for securing Schengen's external points of entry.

If that's true then why does Frontex exist? It's my understanding that Frontex was created by the EU because Italy wasn't equipped to do the job on its own.

Really? Everything I've read has suggested it was to replace Mare Nostrum because that program was costing the Italians a fortune and they couldn't really afford it anymore.

Frontex existed prior to Mare Nostrum which was a specific SAR operation at the tactical level.

No evidence though! Again!
I realise it must be difficult to use Google/Bing/Yahoo to research your assertions, and to supply sources to back up your claims, but maybe you can find an IT professional to help you.

Extreme lefty organisations the lot of them. And peddlers of fake news.

I'm not twisting anything. You have made a statement that most countries simply detain, process and deport their illegal immigrants. I have offered you evidence that they do no such thing except with a tiny minority. You have offered no counter examples that prove your statement, but you have added some examples that prove mine. In addition, you complain about the French yet offer no viable solution even by example.
I would also remind you that undocumented immigrants in the US do not only come from Mexico.

I know that. In fact I provided evidence to prove that to someone else on here recently.
Mexico is still the main transit route for illegal entry into the US though is it not. America has its airports pretty much locked down at this point but people from all over the world have transited in through Mexico. You can even find warnings written in Chinese along the border in some states.

But you still haven't answered the question as to which country is just rounding up its undocumented immigrants, "processing them", and deporting them as you stated is done. Certainly the US deports some, but then so do the UK and France. Example, please, of a country that actually is deporting in the way you stated?
You are also not clear on how people become illegal immigrants in the US. Despite your image of "locked down" airports and bad hombres crossing deserts and rivers at night, more than half of the immigrants acquiring "illegal status" in the US, at least since 2007 when this research was done, arrived perfectly legally, largely through airports, on perfectly legal, fully-processed visas. In 2014, these people represented two thirds of those who acquired "illegal" status when their visas expired but they didn't leave.
