Italy Overwhelmed as Tunisian Immigrants Flee Turmoil
Yahoo ^ | 2-15-11 | STEPHAN FARIS

The arrivals were few at first - small boats of a dozen or so people. But in recent days, as clenched-fist stability in Tunisia gave way to democracy and then near anarchy, the ships became larger, more crowded and more numerous. According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), some 5,700 Tunisians have landed in Lampedusa since Jan. 16 - 5,000 of them in the past five days - leaving Italian authorities scrambling to accommodate what they describe as an exodus of "biblical proportions."

They rioted their way to “freedom” only to flee?

” “immigrants”
PC crap from yahoo. “

It ain’t just yahoo - I’ve seen perhaps a dozen stories about this over the past few days, from many sources - and not one has used the word ‘refugees’....

The Liberal Propaganda Machine is so invested in their narrative of “Peaceful ‘Democratic’ Revolution” that they’re forced into the malapropism of ‘immigrants’.....

Yes, you beat me to it. I was thinking, “Camp of the Saints”. Somehow I ended up with two copies of that book. Scary book, but it’s happening all over the world. Our invaders are coming from the south also. What is it about the southern part of the globe that keeps people ignorant and poverty stricken?

the majority of those spoken to by aid workers have said they plan to move on to France, where they speak the language and often have friends or relatives.

Hmm. That's a detail I hadn't seen in the earlier articles about this.

5,000 Tunisians into Italy in 5 days, but in fact 5,000 is the AVERAGE number of Mexicans who cross north illegally into the USA EVERY NIGHT..!

A heavy night is about 10,000.

Deport them — all of them!

FACT: Italy - GONE in 1-2 generations. Look at the demographics and insane immigration policies.

The beautiful, proud Italian people are about to lose their country due to demographic warfare and colonization. My wife is of Italian ancestry. This so angers me.

What is happening in the Middle-East and Africa right now is fodder for some fools to guarantee us peace in our time. Shades of the 1930s in our time maybe, but peace? LOL not hardly.
