Italy signs accord to send migrants to Albania, in deal slammed by rights groups
CNN ^ | Nov 7, 2023

Rome CNN —

Italy will build two detention centers in Albania to house migrants trying to reach its shores, Prime Minister Georgia Meloni said Monday, in an attempt to control migration figures that have almost doubled in the year since she took office.

Meloni said the facilities are due to open next spring and will initially take in 3,000 people. Once the centers are “fully up and running,” Meloni said her government could process up to 36,000 people a year.

Meloni’s far-right Brothers of Italy party is facing growing domestic pressure as it has failed to deliver on an electoral promise to limit illegal migration. More than 145,000 people have reached Italy’s shores since January, compared with 88,000 people last year. ...

The centers will be built in the Albanian ports of Shengjin and Gjader and are “in full compliance with the European Union and international law,” Meloni said.

One center will be used to process migrants rescued by boats at sea; the second will be used to house migrants who qualify to apply for asylum in the EU. It is unclear what happens to those who do not qualify...

Immediate deportation is not allowed inside the EU due to human rights statutes that allow all arrivals to apply for asylum. Because Albania is not an EU member, those rules will not apply.

The plan would allow Italy to skirt the Dublin agreement, which states that the first country in which migrants arrive must care for them and process their cases.

Italy will provide the manpower to process applications, but Albania will provide police for security and surveillance ...

Human rights groups and opposition politicians decried the announcement. The secretary of the left-wing More Europe party Riccardo Magi wrote on X that the deal would create an “Italian Guantanamo.”

Forcibly remove these savages. Don’t build detention centers, don’t shelter them, don’t feed them... just put them all back on a boat laced with explosives and set it adrift in the Mediterranean Sea, and then detonate it.
We don’t owe the parasites NOTHING

We need to start thinking about a suitable place to exile “rights groups”, like for e.g., the Siberian Gulag.

Yeah, that too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mafia has a hand in this.

Under UN rules international law if you will this is what you “can get away with”. Australia diverted migrants to South Pacific Islands and detention camps for “processing”.

This article actually quickly summarized the international law which Biden also tries to accommodate.
See

“human rights statutes that allow all arrivals to apply for asylum”

That’s why Biden justifies millions illegals. but:

“he first country in which migrants arrive must care for them and process their cases.”

Biden should let them apply in Mexico - Trump “stay in Mexico” is exactly what the law is saying!

These people should not be anywhere near Europe. There is a simple answer to the Italian problem. When the ships arrive on the island of Lampedusa, have the people disembark take the boat out into the med and sink it. Next boatload, have the people disembark take the boat out into the met with the captain on board and sink it. Sooner or later, they will run out of boats and captains.

Reason 2.
Tribalism has never contributed to the advancement of anyone.
The turd world of Islam still lives and thinks at the tribal level.
Whitey, the G7 nations, started to shrug his tribalism 8 hundred years ago with the magna carta. 4/7ths were magna carta, the French and German Christians had a slightly different pathway.

Africa and the Muslims never had a political evolution to lift their selves out of tribalism. Communism is based in the same community values set. That’s why they, all of them were incapable of progress.

From the brits magna carta came patent law.

Nobody else on the planet did that, not the Indians, Chinese, Africans, nor the world of Islam.

That is how we got our shiny shit that they want.

Our magna carta.... ALL Rooted in Christian philosophy

Not happening in the world of the UN and EU only one nation has the chutzpah to “go its own way” right now.

Here is a different approach:

“On January 2, 1492, King Boabdil surrendered Granada to the Spanish forces, and in 1502 the Spanish
crown ordered all Muslims forcibly converted to Christianity. Religious conversions continued throughout
the next century and in 1609 the last Mohammadans still adhering to Islam were expelled from Spain.”

Why ARE there migrants moving from all these countries around the globe?

Never forget - the USA has only about 4.5% of the world population but yet is a magnet drawing in millions of of people from failed backward cultures all over the world.

They are products of incapable populations, unable to advance beyond bare subsistence and most continue to grow their populations beyond their ability to feed themselves.

Unlike the great migration to the USA of the 1800s, most are not coming for opportunity - they are coming for the handouts and free stuff.

They see our success and prosperity and want what we have.

Compare what the Israelis have done with their bit of the mid-east desert in 75 years to what the muslim/arab population has accomplished (or not accomplished) in thousands of years.

The Romans were building functional cities and advanced water distribution systems more than two thousand years ago when the Africans hadn't even figured out the wheel.

Most of these migrants are from cultures so backward that when they do land in the first world countries they barely adapt and for the most part, do not assimilate.

More often than not they never do adjust and remain parasites generation after generation.

Diversity is not a strength - it is a divisive force bringing weakness, not strength.

Of what benefit to first world populations are people who are part of cultures that do not have the competence and intellect you advance from hunter-gatherers?

Or those that adhere to the regressive, inhumane tenets of Islam?.
