Johnson: Turn back migrant boats

Boris Johnson has called for migrants sailing across the Mediterranean from Africa to be “turned back” by a European Union naval operation that includes two Royal Navy vessels.

Ships involved in Operation Sophia, which was launched last year, are charged with picking up migrants they find on the high seas and ferrying them to Italy. The fleet has never been involved in so-called push-backs, a practice that was outlawed by the European Court of Human Rights in 2012 after it was briefly introduced by Italy in 2009.

Mr Johnson, however, appeared to back the measure during a joint press conference…

Impressive by Johnson. Make this an active policy immediately. Enough talk, just do it.

Introduced by Italy...

Embarrassed for my ancestors. To think there was a Rome once...

For a second I though Gary flip flopped.

[Professional Engineer]

Lol. I did as well.

Even though he’s a huge squish, hearing about this gave me some hope.

If you want to stop an invasion, sink the ships before you get torpedoed.

[caww]

Once they arrive you will never get them out....they will indeed protest and resist 'Deportation"....as here in Munich Germany this last Friday....

[Cowboy Bob]

Wow. Simple, yet effective. Why did it take so long for someone to figure it out?

[Nifster]

At first I thought Gary had come to his senses....Boris is correct

[caww]

Looks like the hoodie problem is going to get worse too....for some reason they don't look starving or worn torn to me....

[Fightin Whitey]

Same here.

Who spiked his bong and with what?

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm sure that the EU masters won't pay any attention to Britain now that Brexit has passed.

Europe doesn’t even need a wall. They have the Mediterranean and still won’t control it.

[BenLurkin]

Sink them.

It’s an invasion.

Send the invaders to the bottom of the sea.

US is dishing out millions of the peoples monies to help resettlement countries....on of our recent 'gifts' of $11 million to help launch the 'Emerging Resettlement Countries Joint Support Mechanism (ERCM). ....Presumably this new bureaucracy (one more UN agency) will be teaching other countries how to resettle refugees using our successful model. Or, is it just one more way 'to redistribute American wealth'?....

On September 20, 2016, leaders from Jordan, Mexico, Germany, Ethiopia, Sweden, and Canada, as well as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, will join 'President Obama in hosting' the Leaders’ Summit on Refugees on the margins of this year’s UN General Assembly high-level week. The Summit will bring together governments from around the world that have made new and significant pledges in 2016 to address the most urgent needs of refugees and facilitate long-term durable solutions. Among the goals of the Summit is to double the global number of refugees resettled or admitted legally to third countries. A significant number of countries have stepped forward to launch or expand refugee resettlement efforts.

By the looks of those "immigrants", I'd say there must be a West Marine store where they come from as they're all wearing PFD's.

That”s how Austrailia regained control over the invasion of illegal immigrants. It looks bad but is the only course for island nations.
