Those deaths being caused by EU border guards shooting people in the back

Well, people have to overcome the border in any way. The cause of
their death is the big wall of Fortress Europe.

Noone *has* to cross any border ...

BTW, did you see this great film about the journey of two youngsters
from Afghanistan to London, where one of them lost his life in a
container on the way? It got a special price a number of years at the
Berlinale film festival. Unfortunately I can't remember the title of the
film.

Nope, though I'd question whether the UK was the first "safe" country
they reached if I was considering an asylum claim ...

There was an ECJ ruling recently saying Ireland and the UK couldn't send
non-EU people back to Greece, as Greece is not considered safe. Which
surely raises some interesting questions about the EU, if a member state
doesn't meet suitable standards:
