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.

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.

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.

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.
