100,000 Migrants have entered Europe by crossing the Mediterranean this Year

According to the United Nations over 100,000 immigrants have entered Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea in 2017 with 85% of them arriving in Italy most of them sub-Saharan Africans crossing from Libya. Italy is pleading for other countries to open their ports so Italy is not inundated by the refugees, but the other countries refuse to help. France rejected the idea; an aide to France’s Interior Minister told AFP that opening a port in France would encourage more immigrants to attempt to enter Europe. On Sunday, Italian Interior Minister Marco Minniti threatened to close Italian ports if Italy’s neighbors refused to help.

 "We are under enormous pressure.” Vincent Cochetel, UNHCR special envoy for the central Mediterranean, echoed, "This is not sustainable. 

Are the Leftist just now figuring out open borders are not sustainable ?

Those that praised open borders are now finding out that it just is not the nirvana they thought it was. Leftist ideas always fail and time does tell.

It's all circling dangerously around the drain. At some point this dam is going to bust. I can't even imagine what this mess will look like in 10-20 years.

Europe has failed miserably to formulate and implement a united and rational policy to deal with the mainly Muslim immigrant crisis.

The so called refugees quite rightly see Europe as a soft touch and head there for generous handouts and a tolerance to their criminal activities.

The incessant flow of immigrants from the failed Muslim countries of the near and middle East has changed forever the identities of most European nations.

The ''jungle press'' has notified the Muslim losers to head to Europe where the ''human right'' laws, equal opportunities legislation and civil rights will ensure them, their families and descendants a cool ride on the gravy train.

Due to their financial and political weakness Italy toes the German line and by doing so has ended up with the short end of the stick, slap it up them.

The more liberal European nations such as Sweden and Germany have, through bitter experience, come to realize that today's sad eyed Muslim with a hard luck story is tomorrow's jihad terrorist or common criminal.

But alas, ''too late was the cry''.

The war is over, the Muslim immigrants have out thought, out maneuvered and exploited the timid governments of Europe and must have difficulty in believing their luick.

What an amazing thing to watch as those on the Left figure out to late that open borders are not sustainable.

They head to Europe, because Europe offers a similar or greater standard of life as they were used to, you know, before good 'ol USA decided to engineer a coup and turn the country half to rubble. Most of them flee from bombs and bullets. A third of refugees are children under 13. Three quarters are women and children. But tell us again how this is a concerted manipulative plot by "all the Syrians dur dur" to topple Europe.

Fucking moron.

Italy is pleading for other countries to open their ports so Italy is not inundated by the refugees, but the other countries refuse to help.

So why is Italy so inundated with refugees they are now seeing open borders as unsustainable ?

100000 in just half of the year. err. are there more yet to arrive?

i think natural resources in their lands should be exploited by italy.

Italy should take 30% of profit and provide for them with 70% as long as they are still in italy.
