And the most important sentence of the article is the last:

"Building fences, using tear gas and other forms of violence against migrants and asylum seekers, detention ... will not stop migrants from coming or trying to come to Europe," said Francois Crepau, the U.N. special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants. "Let's not pretend that what the EU and its member states are doing is working. Migration is here to stay."

As long as the other side of the fence is worse, people will try to get over. They don't do this for fun but because they are facing death on the other side of the fence. Which brings me to my criticism with this article... it doesn't even try to shed some light on the reasons why there are refugees in the first place. Hint: There are roughly 18 million living in camps outside the fence last time they were counted. Building bigger fences is not a solution, it is a panic reaction and will only postpone things temporarily. To find a solution requires finding out why the fuck there are millions of refugees in the first place and it's not going to be an answer that fits in a tweet, that much is certain.

EU wants no war thats why. The only solution would be to go to war with the islamic state so people dont want to leave from there. Surprisingly its a not discussed solution here.
