Take them back to Libya.
They are picking them up off the coast of Libya and transporting them to Italy.
Italy has no responsibility to take them, they came from Libya.

Boo meet Hoo.

Go back home. You are invaders . We’ll lend you some fuel for the trip.

Must be Trump’s fault.

[Truth29]

Why don’t the EU countries just turn them back to Africa? (rhetorical question)

[rovenstinez]

Maybe they could go to Cuba, the island probably would be glad to get some extra help harvesting the sugar.

So the migrants will depart the vessel, step onto Spanish soil...be forced to apply for asylum there (and only there), then wake up to realize that Spain currently has around 17-percent unemployment. You can’t even get a burger-flipper job.

Wow, CNN did this whole article and not one word about where the migrants are from except to say North Africa.

Hey Fake News-They are Muslims from Muslim countries bent on taking over Europe in Jihadi conquest.

Italy is correct. Here’s an idea, turn the boat south and return them to whatever country they came from

[NorthMountain]

Send them back to Trashcanistan where they came from.

Problem solved.

[Harpotoo]

From MAGA to MIGA!-)

[VRWCarea51]

Well, they will be a welcome lot to the locals then won’t they? /s

[I want the USA back]

I doubt Salvini will back down.

[boycott]

629 will be 12,000 before you know it. They’ll breed like rats while collecting their welfare.

[NorthMountain]

Oh, yes ... after the ship gets back to Trashcanistani waters, sink it.

On being asked, the average CNN reporter can’t name the President or Prime Minister of Africa

[faucetman]

Now that’s good! Had not seen it before. VERY good! You made me lol.

[hal ogen]

That’s a “cruise” I wouldn’t want to be on. Don’t let them land.

[morphing libertarian]

Trashcanistani

I saw this country on Trumps travel ban list. Good deal.
