#6  Last time a migrant tried to disembark on me I gave them what for. You can't have migrants disembarking any time or anywhere they want and expect to have a civilized society.

#5  "rescued"?

They picked them up off Libya then people trafficked them to Italy. Probably in contact with the people smugglers at sea.

#4   France and Germany have agreed to take 25 percent of the migrants colonists each, with Italia to take 10 percent.

I thought the Euros were supposed to be good with math. Do they drown the other 40% or try to send them to the UK?
