The President of the European Parliament (EP) called for massive investments in Africa on Tuesday, warning that millions of African migrants could arrive otherwise. In a forum with Italy’s ANSA news service, Antonio Tajani said: “If the problem of Africa is not tackled—drought, malnutrition—we will have millions and millions and Africans pushing (to enter Europe) and dams and walls will not be sufficient (to hold them back).”
Tajani said that fixing Africa’s problems would require an investment of “billions and billions” of euros.
The words of the EP President echoed recent remarks by European Council President Donald Tusk, who stated earlier this month that Europe cannot cope with the massive influx of migrants crossing from North Africa into Italy.
Tusk called for measures to shut down the maritime migrant route across the Strait of Sicily.
“The flow of migrants from Libya into Italy and the EU is not sustainable,” Tusk said following a meeting between European and Libyan officials.
“Europe has proved it is able to close down irregular routes of migration, as we did on the Eastern Mediterranean route,” Tusk said. “We have discussed the example of our cooperation with Turkey and other countries in this part of the region. Now it is time to close down the route from Libya to Italy.”
In his comments Tuesday, EP President Tajani also expressed his disapproval of the rumored appointment of Ted Malloch as the new U.S. ambassador to the European Union.

One or two harsh actions will solve this.
First not so brutal. Take ALL the passengers on a rescue boat and take them straight back to the shores they boarded the boat, dump them off, and burn the boat for all to see. Two, find the “captain” of the boat and arrest him for all to see. Three hunt down the human smugglers and shoot them.
If that doesn’t work. Shoot the boat out of the water. Rescue who can be rescued. Dump them back off where they boarded the boat.
But this stinks. WHO is building and paying for these boats? Who is giving these dirt poor uneducated Africans the money to pay smugglers? Who is financing this? (yeah I know who and I would even venture several European politicians are financing this as well)
A dark future waiting for Europe and its people, probably never saw this since the end of the Ice Age.

No! sorry they are not to be stopped, they are like plague of Locust eating every thing insight....it is called mass-migration....the tribe with most babies WINS
Perhaps a small investment in an EU navy would provide a greater investment on return.
This is an invasion force.
Pretty simple to fix. Sink a dozen of the boats then tow back a few to report how the new welcome committee operates.
Thank you, President Obola!
A lot of Conservatives and Freepers would gladly accept these people, as long as they are Christians.
Don't doubt me on that.
When the Muslims take over, they won’t accept immigrants.
How do we know they are Christians, instead of Muslims faking it?
Than NATO should invade North Africa and occupy the coastal areas to make sure nobody gets into the boats.
I think you missed the point.
Doesn't matter what religion they are.
Keep them in Africa.
Insanity, national and cultural suicide.
Followed by rivers of blood and genocide
