Perhaps the Holy Father should bring his sights down to his own backyard and welcome those refugees into his many church facilities before he lectures others across different seas and on a different continent.

I have followed the events on the Island of Lampedusa. You will likely know of this. How lucky some countries are with their geographical location. The would be "asylum seekers" are put on this island and there are fences to hold them in. So angered are some of those so awaiting a decision, they have broken fences and rioted. The, no doubt harmless and innocent islanders, have had their lives changed. Women dare not walk alone after dark. Houses have been entered.
Still, the very fact of being stuck in a compound probably reduces the numbers. Those who would come with expectations of immediate good living- for free.
The Italians are certainly nobody's fools in this matter.
