Why doesn’t Gaza take them in?
Arab Spring-more like Radical Islamic Spring.
NAZIs
“Von” indicates a person’s family comes from the nobility. There’s nothing noble about traitor Merkel.
The best way to handle this is to not let them into your country. If we did this at our borders now, we would not hear all this BS about poor kids and parents being separated.
Most of these people do not need asylum, they are purposely sent here to rip us off and make Americans give them free stuff.
Yep, until Salvini the Western European governments have been laying out the welcome mat, encouraging more and more migrants to come. Just like what happened with Germany, it’s the Euros’ policies that have caused this flood into their countries.
Agreed. Like I’ve said before: they will get the hint after the second torpedo sank the second ship.
How about BACK to once they came? Make Italy Great Again, no illegal alien invasion or landings.
“...Italy’s closure of its ports to the migrant rescue ship Aquarius, which was carrying 620 people, triggered warnings from aid agencies of a deadly summer at sea for people trying to cross the Mediterranean....”

Lesson to be learned by the “migrants”: Don’t be an illegal trying to cross the Mediterranean.
Lesson to be learned by the NGO “smugglers”: It’s expensive to be stuck with illegal, smelly cargo you can’t unload.
Lesson to be learned by the Italians: It feels good to stand up for yourselves.

How about this.

The guardian is a communist rag. It wants Italy destroyed. Salvini is Italian. He wants Italy great again.
Point out the laws they’ve broken. Seize the ships
Its not about humanitarianism.
Its about nation states enabling human traffickers or smugglers by picking up the people they ship out to sea from the North African coast.
Italy is finally saying, enough.
Italy has a leader for a change.
Good for Italy!
