At least 10 North African migrants died when their rubber boat overturned in the southern Mediterranean while more than a thousand more were rescued from eight other vessels over Tuesday and Wednesday, Italian and Tunisian authorities said.

The survivors were taken to ports in Italy — part of a growing surge of people risking the dangerous journey to flee poverty, civil war in Syria, military conscription in Eritrea, anarchy in Libya and other conflict zones.

God, that is awful desperation. But, they need to be returned from whence they came right now, perhaps with a few weeks provisions.

Is this the beginning of the 500,000 ISIS promised?

Italy would be INSANE to take them in. Have they forgotten Paris already?

500,000 seems a bit high. I doubt there are 500,000 ISIS members.

this seriously dangerous problem would end if the ‘rescued’ infiltrators were simply returned to their countries of origin instead of being taken into Europe ... which is exactly what they want, to get into Europe and take it over...

once aboard a “rescue” ship, the ship need merely proceed south ...not north...

Certainly would be a positive move, no matter what shouting and screaming would occur. Italy had a good idea at first. They established a holding camp on Lampedusa Island. Bed and board, but confined within fences. It was not to the liking of the boat people. They did riot and break out, going into the Italian residences kitchens for food.

The camp could hold about 1,200 and became hard to manage. The unfortunate authorities were then forced to relocate new boat people to the mainland. They wanted to go to the most lucrative welfare systems in other European countries.

What a terrible mess and not the fault of Italy or any other Western nation.
