Britain is trying that on 2 fronts - Brexit and "Stop the Boats" tp try to stop immigration to a trickle. Brexit has shot the country in the right foot. Blocking immigration (that allows work) has crippled sectors that rely on foreign workers for both long and short term periods. Left foot shot. In addition it has stimulated succession attempts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Wales isn't too happy either. There may be only the English rump left within 50 years.
Having said that, it seems all but inevitable that there will be a mass migration from the more equatorial regions to the cooler north as this century progresses. That will inevitably result in raised drawbridges, with the Mediterranean the proverbial flaming moat facing Africa. The failure of the rich North nations to mitigate the global heating trend seems to me the equivalent of the Versailles Treaty after WWI, but so far more lackadaisical than malicious. I do not see this ending well...at all.
