The EU’s asylum policy is to blame for the tragedy unfolding in the Mediterranean
The Spectator ^ | 19 April 2015 | Olenka Hamilton

As the leading article in The Spectator this week pointed out, thousands of people are fleeing war and anarchy in Africa and setting sail across the Mediterranean bound for Europe. The latest tragedy comes today, after a boat carrying between 500 and 700 migrants from Libya capsized. So far, only 28 people have been rescued.

Coaxed by traffickers who demand huge sums, refugees have been piling into rickety boats which often disintegrate en route. Aid groups, human rights activists, the pope and the EU itself all say the EU-funded rescue operation Triton is inadequate. Well, they’re right in a way, but they’re also missing the point. The real culprit isn’t Triton but the EU’s tragic asylum and immigration policy. Though it is designed to save people, it instead lures them to their death.

Backwards. The policy of taking in the tired, the poor, the struggling masses yearning to be free is not the problem. the depravity on the African continent is the problem.

The Euros have navies,

The best thing to do is to set up an interdiction cordon off the North African coast.

Turn the invaders back before they get out of sight of land.

Jean Raspail was a prophet when he wrote The Camp of the Saints in 1973.

This does not tell you what you must know. There is much more to this; it is like we’re allowing scorpions to land.

The sheeple are finding it easier to bring in the migrants rather that go wipe out the problem causing the migration.

BAD MISTAKE. There will be a percentage of the problem infiltrating under the guise of migration. It’s about like importing the black plague.

Bingo—leave the doors wide open, provide free drinks & snacks results in your party house being trashed by strangers & the landlord really upset.

Same thing is happening to Europe & our USA.
