Egyptian authorities foil attempt by 47 people to migrate to Europe

two suspected human traffickers believed to have organised the migration attempt.

The traffickers reportedly collected money from each of the migrants colonists, both foreign and Egyptian, before they were to board a fishing boat for Europe.

The would-be migrants colonists comprised 21 foreigners and 26 Egyptians.

In November, Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi ratified a law aimed at curbing irregular migration and cracking down on human trafficking along the country's northern Mediterranean coast, where thousands of migrants colonists embark on dangerous boat journeys to Europe.

While the legislation does not punish the migrants colonists themselves, it imposes jail terms on those convicted of human trafficking or acting as brokers or controllers.

#1  Gee, according to the progressives, the big problem is that the Native Americans didn't do this to the Pilgrims, et. al.

Shouldn't have let those illegal immigrants in them either.
