If they arrived at a land border they would be almost certainly stopped. But when they arrive in boats they are "rescued". Rescue them back to where they came from.

The trouble I see is that, as happened in Calais when a ferry was stormed, you get to the point where these people will become aggressive in order to get what they want. They feel they have nothing to lose and are therefore very likely to call any bluff levelled at them by the authorities they know are bound by certain 'humanitarian' rules. Many of them are not interested in following rules, they just want to get into Europe and then make their way to where they want to go. This is why we have thousands of people queuing up in Calais trying to get into the UK when they've already passed through any number of safe countries in which they could and should have claimed asylum.

Yet more deaths.

Parts of Europe are effectively under siege and whilst it's totally understandable wanting to prevent these tragedies, unless something's done in the countries (e.g.Libya) from which these people are emanating, more misery will result and attitudes will continue to harden.

i read the other day that the followers of Islam threw the the followers of Christ overboard on one of these voyages .

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Ironically, it's being stated that the boat capsized when the refugees massed towards one side of it in order to attract the attention of another vessel. Such is the desperation of these people that I can see this sort of thing happening again whether it be boats capsizing due to the migrants themselves or migrants swamping smaller rescue vessels.

At least it's one more vessel the traffickers can't use.

Wow, that's going to do anything to stop the rise of Islamophobia .. they are their own worst enemies.

That is perhaps why they don't stop killing each other.

Does anyone imagine they'll all live happily ever after together in Europe?

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

There is already much muslim infighting in the Paris suburbs that has left the police and original inhabitants very afraid for the future. And local christians and jews are being targeted too.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

So we have countless examples of religious (and other) tensions and hatred around the globe yet think importing more of it into Europe in this manner is a good idea? :spin:

You only have to look at London to see how well integration amongst certain groups works... :rolleyes:

No such thing as Islamaphobia
