Salvini rages as Richard Gere demands migrants accepted ‘Take them with you to Hollywood'
Express ^ | August 10, 2019

ITALIAN deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has delivered a withering put-down to Richard Gere after the movie star urged the Italian government to stop "demonising” migrants - telling him to “take them back to your Hollywood villas”.

The leader of Italy’s far-right Lega party, now preparing for a snap election, was speaking after Gere visited Spanish charity boat the Open Arms ship in a show of support on Friday, before joining a news conference on the Italian island of Lampedusa to call for the 160 migrants stuck on the boat to be allowed to disembark. However, Mr Salvini, who this week pushed through parliament tougher sanctions on charity ships that seek to bring migrants rescued at sea to Italy, rapidly issued a statement in which he said: "Given this generous millionaire is voicing concern for the fate of the Open Arms migrants, we thank him.

“He can take back to Hollywood, on his private plane, all the people aboard and support them in his villas. Thank you Richard!"

I bet Gere could hide a few up his butt and sneak them across the border. Most illegals are only slightly larger than hamsters.

Absolutely correct. Let these effing Hollywood hypocrites spend their millions if they believe in this or that cause so much. Quite calling on average people to make all kinds of sacrifices while you live in the lap of luxury you hypocrites.

This is one Trump sounding Italian guy. This guy is okay in my book. Dick Gere can just build some low income housing where they came from and support them. There may be hope for the Italians yet.

Italy, Brazil, Poland, and Britain all elected Trump-ian candidates in the last 2 years.

Some of Richard Gere's little friends: gerbils.

France and Spain are always shilling for the EU, and lecturing others how to behave;

so why aren’t THEY letting the migrants land at their ports?

All the Hollywood stars and their Millionaire friends can got buy an island (Is Epstein's now up for sale?) and place their beloved migrants on them. They can also pay them $1,000 per month, as theat Democrat candidate guy proposes (with HIS money.)

Most Hollywood “stars” and their “Millionaire friends” have more than one home (house, estate, mansion, condo, beach house, NYC condo (but not in Baltimore), on some Caribbean Island or off the coast of Spain, France, Greece, Italy, etc). so let them HOST the illegal immigrants for the next couple of years before they appear before an Immigration court.

Hell, I could just see how Madonna would service them. The same for Milano (and I don’t mean the cookies).
