Spain offered on Monday to take in a humanitarian ship stranded in international waters with 629 migrants aboard, prompting Italy’s new anti-establishment government to claim victory in its bid to get European partners to help more on immigration.

“To politely raise one’s voice pays off,” Salvini told a news conference in Milan. “It’s something Italy hasn’t done for many years.”

Or the United States for that matter.

What is Spain supposed to do? What will Spain do?

Instead of taking them to Spain, take them to Libya. No more free delivery to Europe for the invaders on boats that are not seaworthy.

Spain will help them make their way to the UK.

Spain will help them make their way to the UK.

Sounds like a plan.

Unfortunately.

And, that's what Brexit is mostly about.

Unfortunately, Britain largely suffers Stockholm Fever.

Get ready for 10’s of thousands more ,LOL

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Baby steps. Perhaps it was a victory for Italy, but not for Europe. Italy should have evacuated the invaders from the ship and sunk it, repatriating the invaders to Africa without allowing them to touch European soil.

Nota bene, these are not "refugees", they are economic migrants looking for free stuff. Most of them have iPhones and designer sweaters and sport shoes. Calling these parasites "refugees" is a slap in the face to real refugees and displaced persons.

When did White people become such self loathing retards?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

PLENTY MORE WHERE THEY CAME FROM!!!

I suspect after the awful example of the Germans, 1939-1945. No one wants to be a Nazi. Hitler really f***ed up Western Civilization.

Danke, Deutschland.

[caww]

Traffickers will all be moving to Spain now....so they can move them to Europe.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#2: "What is Spain supposed to do? What will Spain do?"

Perhaps Spain wants to reclaim its ancient status as "the land of the blackmoor".

Clearly Spain needs a latter day El Cid.

One would have thought that Spain learned its Moslem lesson several hundred years ago.

According to Wikipedia, Spain is 4% Moslem. IIRC, Moslems become a real problem in a country when they reach 5% of the population.

Italy is much smarter than Spain, in this regard!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hitler and the Nazis are the toxic gift that keeps on giving. Now in Europe anyone with pride over one's culture and language and borders is immediately smeared by the left as a "nazi". Europeans cower in suicidal fear of this false label and its ability to destroy one's life and career.

I have asked that very question out loud a few times and I always get dirty looks.

Italy’s new anti-establishment government

Sounds more Italy’s new Italian government to me.

Spain will be the next magnet for arrivals as a result, in a year the people of Spain will be sick of it and vote in populists. It will be a continent-wide game of migrant chicken and he who closes the borders last loses the most.

[AndyJackson]

these are not "refugees", they are economic migrants looking for free stuff

So we should adopt the appropriate British opprobrium and call them "chancers."

[bgill]

Spain’s loss. Italy’s win.
