ON BOARD THE AQUARIUS (Reuters) - Italy on Monday said it would not offer safe harbor to the 141 people rescued by the humanitarian ship Aquarius off the coast of Libya last week, urging Britain or other European Union allies to take them in.

The Aquarius, run by Franco-German charity SOS Mediterranee and Doctors without Borders (MSF), picked up the migrants in two separate operations and is now in international waters between Italy and Malta.

The Aquarius spent nine days at sea in June after Rome’s new populist government took office and shut its ports to all humanitarian boats, calling them a “taxi service” and accusing them of helping people smugglers — charges the charities deny.

Their new government is taking the right approach in referring to people smuggling and human trafficking. Don't let the opposition control the language.

"Italy refuses safe harbor to charity ship carrying migrants..."

This is "how it's done".
This is how a nation protects its borders and cultural identity.

Turn them back, or...
Get this as a result:


Hey, some Frenchman named Raspail wrote a book about it 45 years ago:


I supposed he was called a "racist" back then (I know the feeling).
Unfortunately, his predictions are literally coming true.
His fantasy has turned into Western Europe's reality.

Damn. Those Italians are acting, like Nationalists.

(And Austrians, Hungarians)

In fact from that trio, lie the beginnings of a better, smarter Europe.

Muslim economic/political refugees, should have plenty of room in their own region, among their own type.
