open borders and the right to migrate

OK this article is not new. It’s a month old however, it isn’t over yet.
You would be correct to in thinking it is on going. As in, has been going on for a few years now. Probably more.
The Italians are frustrated at the influx of refugees, most who are not legal, flooding their borders.  I have in the past, posted the photos of the dark mass climbing the fences.
Recently there has been some good news on that front.  At least 90 of the turds went glub,glub when their boat capsized in rough seas. The really bad news is, some 115 were saved. Which of course means the Italians have yet more to house, clothe and feed.  I don’t suppose they have given any thought to feeding them lead.
An important thing you need to know about these folks and why the frustration and the angst. Like the many before them, they think they have a god given right to be in Italy, and any other place in Europe. Especially the UK.
We keep hearing about the wealth they bring in taxes (when they can find work), but what they mostly bring is disease, destitution and crime.
It can not be said they don’t create jobs though.  Oh yeah.  Civil rights lawyers are kept fairly busy on that front. So that’s one group that will do well by them.
Meanwhile over in France, they are still facing the problem of migrants (mostly Roma and others of the same kind) who are flooding the country and trying to get into the UK. And too many do. Like the Italians, the French are threatening to allow all sorts of vermin the freedom to go to other countries, so long as they leave France. The problem is acute, and the French say they need more help, especially as EU member states are more or less held to certain rules and regs regarding the free movement of EU citizens, as well as refugees from turd world countries.
It’s an unholy mess people. It truly is, and it does not look like there is any good news on this issue that is forthcoming.  Well, except when some of them go swimming and sink.

Italy threatens release of refugees into EU if assistance doesn’t increase

Italy is threatening to allow refugees currently residing within its borders to make forays into the rest of the European Union unless the EU increases assistance in managing the influx of migrants arriving via boats from North Africa.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano demanded on Tuesday that the EU step up its efforts.

“The European Union has two options: either it comes to the Mediterranean to put the EU flag onMare Nostrum or we will let migrants with right of asylum leave for other countries,” Alfano wrote on Twitter.

The demand comes shortly after the Italian Navy was forced to rescue some 200 refugees and retrieve 17 bodies after a boat carrying African migrants sunk off the coast of Libya. The accident happened on Monday, some 100 miles south of the Italian island of Lampedusa. Four-hundred people were thought to be trying to attempt the crossing from Libya.

The European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmstrom, did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a statement.

On Monday, the Libyan government also said it was struggling to cope with immigrants attempting to depart the country’s shores for Europe.

“This was the second shipwreck in a week,” Admiral Mario Culcasi, commander of the Mare Nostrum task force set up to deal with the crisis, told Reuters. “They are a symptom perhaps of the difficulties that the smugglers are facing, above all in finding seaworthy boats,” he said.

Libyan Interior Minister Salah Mazek told a news conference last weekend, before the tragedy struck, that: “I’m warning the world and Europe in particular – if they do not assume their responsibilities, Libya could facilitate the transit of this flood of immigrants towards Europe.”

More than 4,000 migrants concealed in smugglers boats made it to Italy’s shores in the past week alone. At least 34,800 people have made the crossing already this year – compared to 43,000 across the whole of 2013.
Hundreds have died in overcrowded, rickety, and unstable boats while attempting the crossing. UN refugee agency UNHCR says it is uncertain why there has been a spike in immigrant numbers this year, though some have concluded that it is a result of Egypt becoming less accommodating for Syrian refugees, as well as Morocco becoming an increasingly difficult location from which to travel to Europe.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
