Johnson: Turn back migrant boats
The Times ^ | September 16 2016, 12:01am, | Tom Kington, Florence

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…

Did I misread. I thought Italy was for taking them in.

I must read again.

Doesn’t sound harsh to me. I would care if they blew them out of the war as it’s mostly male terrorists.

It's not just the numbers, although that's daunting, it's most are illiterate even in their own language.... most do not adapt well to our culture nor our laws and they're coming from African nations with the highest rates of violent crime in the world.......they are "tribal" people...we already know that they have astronomical crime rates once they gather in communities, and most remain on welfare indefinitely...and most are Muslim. That's a lot of strikes against them ever adjusting.....it will not work but for a very few.....and that few will cost millions when all is said and done. (not to mention the life of some of our citizens).

... The African migrants’ journey begins in Brazil under a South American policy that allows the “free transit” of immigrants throughout the continent. Ecuador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama facilitate the process by transferring the concentration of foreigners towards Mexico based on ..""""an agreement that Mexico will help them gain entry into the U.S. so they can solicit asylum."""""

It’s known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and in the last few years migrants from several African countries have received it so the new influx is not all surprising. Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone got TPS back in 2014 over the lingering effects of the Ebola Virus and earlier this year Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson extended it. The Africans are mostly entering Mexico through the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala.

Wow-—note all the young males who fled the women and children and old men-—left them to die or whatever......real moral males.

Without virtue, civil society will collapse.....and Germany and Europe are facilitating the total annihilation of their cultures for these evil young males with satanic fascist cultures? They have been brainwashed by their own culture (skools and press) for decades into suicide—nihilism.

Constant Marxist agitprop/socialism forcing total irrationality. Right Reason, Free Will and Indivdualism—(Natural Rights only from God) only comes from the Christian Worldview-—all others are collectives and hellholes. Atheism (communism) is the worst and is responsible for the killing of hundreds of millions of people. Islam is no different than the collective/socialism of Marxism——it is a totalitarian worldview, unlike Christianity.

All of the above is incompatible with Freedom and Individualism-—Individual Natural Rights from God only——which is the basis of the US Constitution. People with antithetical belief systems to Freedom and Individual Natural Rights from God only, should never be allowed to hold office or become citizens. The Founders never allowed it. A true “Justice” System wouldn’t allow it either-—we have to return to Rule of Law (Higher Law/God’s) and our Republican government again......get rid of the Federal Reserve and Income Tax-—all pre-1913.

OK, they do exactly as he request. What about the US government using MY tax dollars, to pay FedEX, UPS and who knows who to fly Muzzies into MY country, secretly, without MY permission, and have places to have them live on MY dime. Johnson made a stand for other countries but never called out our country.

Well it isn’t about ‘refugees’ as WE know..it’s about repopulating western countries with third world peoples....the idea is of course lowering wages and increasing the pot of workers to do menial work.....

However...many of the Africans are told otherwise they will be educated, have a home and all their provisions here for free....they do not understand that is for a limited time....and so even before they grasp the language to obtain work time is up.....and many simply don’t bother.
Many believe are lifestyle and work ethics are “too hard”. So they learn how to play the system and do just that....or return to their country...most don’t.

In Africa scores are settled through violence....they have little grasp of a society of law having lived in lawless societies, and because they are tribal minded they will gather among their own and bring with them those tribal conflicts.

Same with the Muslims coming over, who consistently play each others nations against the other in the camps and communities they find themselves. By nature they have come from violent countries so adjusting to the rules of law here are often ignored,...and or our justice system is light handed regarding their criminal offences.

So WE are expected to adapt to them .....otherwise they will indeed use the race cards and any other excuses to get what they want from this country.

.....”note all the young males who fled the women and children and old men-—left them to die or whatever......real moral males”.....

Of course they’re going to be military age males....the idea is to remove the warrior aged males out of Africa so that the warring factions have none to recruit......which is why you hear of them recruiting children into their rebellions now.

If you remove their ability to fight with strong aries then it doesn’t ake much to go in and clear the out....thus opening the way for industry and getting at the resources nation leaders want out of Africa, relocating the young men to other nations removes the danger as the conflicts will not be as intense without them..

Western Civilization has become a simmering pot of whimpering idiots. Of course you turn them back and if that does not work, you sink them.

....” What about the US government using MY tax dollars”....

The Gov. doesn’t see it as YOUR money unless there’s an election. Both sides of the aisle see you as simply the source of revenue they get to spend and move at will, because the people elected them..they win..and get to choose what to do with the revenues going into the governments pocket machinery....while most skim off the top , or use it to bargain with, while they make personal investments from the knowledge they have access to... most get wealthy while IN politics and why they get into politics...that’s where the pay off is.

This is such an obvious solution. Only a EU bureaucrat would be unable to figure this out.

FWIW, one thing to remember is that this nefarious ECHR is not as such an EU institution - even countries like Russia, Ukraine and Turkey are participants, and have their judges there.

Just look up the wiki on the ECHR and/or The Council of Europe.

For example, the UK could quit the EU tomorrow (BREXIT), but they’d still be co-perpetrators on that ECHR abomination. Unless they’d quit the Council of Europe as well, and that just ain’t happening.

The ECHR is decidedly out to destroy “Europe”.

This is what Australia has been doing for a while:

And it works.

It also save lives by stopping some people from risking a dangerous sea journey that will do them no good.
