My point was indirect. If you want to catch the refugees at their origin, you have to go to the war zones, and I'm not sure how well-protected embassies are in war zones, especially when a thousand people line up every day. Also consider that a lot more people will come there, even the ones who cannot afford to travel to Europe. So you basically need a huge infrastucture and a lot of protection for your ambassador or you may end up with another Benghazi or something similar. I would also think that people can already apply at most embassies, but there might be reasons why they don't. For example that embassies in war zones tend to be evacuated or that for the people who want to kill them, an embassy would be a point where the victims can easily be intercepted before they get in. And who says that the ones who are denied (which according to most people here should be 90-99% or so, otherwise there is no point to the discussion), will not try to get in anyway and take to the boats after their denied request?

There is this Spanish enclave in Africa where people constantly try to climb the three fences even though the police is likely to beat them, even though the local military may raid their camps and burn their tents and even though the spanish police is said to often illegally send them back after they have made it onto Spanish territory. These people are really hard to convince that they shouldn't have nice things.
Maybe the solution is to send ou poor people there in order to teach them how to be poor and shut up about it?
