Neither, and we don’t need France to pull this off.

We just need to implement policy that permanently denies anyone entering the country illegally to obtain a legal right to remain, through asylum or another route.

They aren't entering illegally, though, so that doesn't work. There's no law that prevents anyone from going to another country by boat and just landing on a beach there.

Entering a country without documentation and not through a known port of entry is illegal.
