Italian Minister tells NGO Italy doesn’t want migrants: “Our ports are closed!”
Voice of Europe ^ | 12/22/18

Italy’s populist Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announces that Italian ports are CLOSED.

The migrants were picked up from Libya intending to go to Malta but were turned away from Malta so the NGO Proactiva Open Arms requested to be allowed entry to Italy.

Salvini replied: “My answer is clear: Italian ports are closed!” Mr Salvini tweeted. “For the traffickers of human beings and for those who help them, the fun is over.”

This sparked anger in the human trafficking NGO who replied on twitter: “We continue with 311 people on board, without port and in need of supplies,” saying that they had rescued more than 300 migrants from three vessels in difficulty...

Committing the logical fallacy of appealing to emotions, they went on to say:

“If you could feel the cold in the images, it would be easier to understand the emergency. No port to disembark and Malta’s refusal to give us food. This isn’t Christmas.” An odd thing to say given the majority of the migrants are of the Islamic faith, thereby not celebrating Christmas anyway.

Take them to an Islamic country. Leave Europe and America alone.

General message to the smugglers and their cargo: Go back to where you came from or die.

Best BOL of the day:

Now most of the smugglers are going through Spain and Greece. Spain’s socialist government welcomes them with open arms.

Looks like closing the proverbial barn door after the horses got out or in in this case.

IMHO Italy should declare itself a Christian state, and then state that anyone new who wants to emigrate to Italy will have to declare in writing and in oath before God, that they intend to live in Italy as Christians - and that if they break this vow they agree that they should be immediately deported.

Yes, very harsh, but required at this point in history.

Have they tried all of the Libyan ports yet? They aren’t that far from Malta.

Europeans were stupid during "LiveAid" too...singing "Do They Know It's Christmas?" while raising money for Muslim and Animist Africans who certainly did NOT know or care, then handing the cash to their dictators to spend on Ferraris and jewels.

I recall they said this before sometime last summer.

Doesn’t seem to be working out does it?
