Asylum != immigration. You’d need to change some fundamental laws how we treat people fleeing persecution and war. Mostly wars and conflicts started by the USA / Russia. Or increasingly fleeing climate change in the future.
Basically we’ll have to create consensus to not save people from certain death that come to our borders. Most people are with you on most cases of immigration. And climate change will lead to something like a billion refugees. So asylum will need to be limited.
Europe already turned asylum seekers back who end up in slave camps in Libya. Also a result of “intervention” that created much worse outcomes.
Long term we might have drones and robots and automated gun turrets to secure Europe’s borders. But honestly I suspect Europe will fall apart before that precisely because of the politics we’d need. It’s a hard sell without resorting to fascism.
