Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni vowed to resist mass migration. The low bar at stake here is the migrant smuggling operation in which NGOs pick up mostly Muslim migrants and “rescue them” by transporting them to Italy.
The new Italian government lightly put its foot down and refused to let the male migrants leave the smuggling ships and enter Italy.
Cue Das Outrage.
Charities have branded the actions of the Italian government “illegal” after it prevented 250 people disembarking two migrant rescue ships.
They’re not “rescue ships”. That’s a legal fiction, they’re human smuggling ships. And Italy has said that they’re welcome to take their “rescuees” who are no longer in any danger, anywhere they please.
So long as it isn’t Italy.
Migrants set sail in small, overcrowded boats from North Africa – often they get into distress and are rescued by charity vessels.
Correction, they get into the boats as a starting point for a feigned rescue and transportation to Europe where they can rob, rape and bomb to their hearts’ content.
In total 144 people were allowed to disembark the Humanity 1, which sails under a German flag, on Sunday morning. In the afternoon, 357 people were allowed off the Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF)-run Geo Barents, which sails under a Norwegian flag.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said those who did not qualify as vulnerable would have to leave Italian waters and should be taken care of by the “flag state”.
Why can’t Germany, the home of Wir Schaffen Das, take them? Or Norway?
The charity, known in English as Doctors Without Borders, added that “a rescue operation is considered complete only when all of the survivors have been disembarked in a safe place”.
Both charities said everyone on board their ships was vulnerable as they had been rescued from the sea.
That’s how this legal fiction works. The migrants pretend to be in distress. The smugglers pretend to rescue them. And now suddenly the illegal migrants are entitled to invade Italy because all the men are “vulnerable”.
“Free all the people, free them,″ Italian lawmaker Aboubakar Soumahoro said, calling the government’s new policy “inhuman”.
“Italian lawmaker”.
Soumahoro, 40, arrived in Italy from Ivory Coast at age 19 and went to work in the fields picking crops. But he aimed higher. He enrolled in the University of Naples and earned a degree in sociology.
Just think of all the sociologists and politicians on board those boats.

Board the ships, run them aground in North Africa, and leave.

This is a great policy. More women in a society are a net plus. Men ought to stay back and fight in their home country, and fix it to where the girls might want to come back to it.

An embraseable lesson: speak, act, or disappear.

Embraceable.
Spare the rewrites.
Fred says
When will it end with millions of people from Africa and Asia having already arrived in Europe. Will the bleeding-heart politicians, religious leaders, and charities in Europe be satisfied when Europe is destroyed by the migrants?
It’s bad enough that the United States is almost a Third World country where the people are already so divided and unable to get along anymore. America’s future has already been laid out and there is no turning back.
Europe has a chance to turn things around, if they use their brains when electing the right people. It looks like Italy and Hungary have made the right choice already.

How many murderers, thieves and rapists must Europe take before the virtue signalers are happy? With no vetting or accurate screening process, this is slow but steady suicide for Europe! Read The Strange Death of Europe.

Aboubakar Soumahoro is what: black, mussie and a sociologist? He could be a “peace officer” in Portland OR or Seattle. He could always go back from whence he came and make that guano-hole more humane. But that would mean leaving the taxpayer funded good life in the West and he won’t do that.

There is not a country in the world that would be improved by the addition of more sociologists.

The smugglers should be arrested Tried Convicted and given 50 years in prison
ruralcounsel says
Human trafficking and smuggling ships should be fired upon and sunk.

Proud of Italy for thinking of their country first
USA blew it
Be strong
