Italian authorities are calling for monitoring of the funding of an NGO fleet bussing migrants into the EU from the North African coast after a report released the European Border and Coast Guard Agency has determined that the members of the fleet are acting as accomplices to people smugglers and directly contributing to the risk of death migrants face when attempting to enter the EU.

The fleet lowers smugglers' costs, as it all but eliminates the need to procure seaworthy vessels capable making a full voyage across the Mediterranean to the European coastline. Traffickers are also able to operate with much less risk of arrest by European law enforcement officers. Frontex specifically noted that traffickers have intentionally sought to alter their strategy, sending their vessels to ships run by the NGO fleet rather than the Italian and EU military.

Intermediaries would need to be used, but these boats need to be sunk at sea.
gee...lotsa women and children, I see..../SARC
Wait, you mean there are idiots out there that actually believed this was a natural occurrence related to Syria?
What a bunch of morons!
There has to be huge money in this modern day slaver/ immigration skam
Surprise, surprise
Return them to their point of departure. Why is this so hard? Also go after Soros with Italy’s anti-Mafia laws and put him in jail. There were 170,000 “migrants” last year. 170,000 counts of conspiracy equals how many years in jail?
Better hurry before Soros’ face melts completely.
Soros’ end is fast approaching.
