Did you not read the part where I suggested that the policy would lead to boats setting off in the dark and actively avoiding the rescue boats?
Fewer rescues would lead to more bodies being washed up on the coastline of the Med.
I guess if you value African and Middle Eastern lives less than you do European lives then this is acceptable.
But hey, nobody is just calling them all terrorists yet and that is an improvement on previous discussions of this topic.
I did. Didn't consider it important. I am not arguing no one should do rescue operations. If you save a migrant from drowning off the Tunisian coast, and bring that migrant back to Tunisia... does that mean the migrant "actually" drowned?
I don't call them all terrorists. I'm not StA. I don't believe in "dhimmification", or "invasion". I believe in the cold, hard fact that they're not working, not integrating into society, not educating themselves, that they make up a disproportionate number in general crime statistics. Drug crime, in particular, but also the more sensational - yet factual - higher rate of sexual crimes. Lower rates of educational levels, lower rates of workforce participation.
And it makes no difference if it had been refugee Armenians or Georgians drowning in the Black Sea. I'd prefer a system where there's some sort of asylum representative for various countries within the refugee camps in Tunisia and Libya, and in those camps they can apply for asylum in X country.No need to cross dangerous oceans, no great waste of money on the European governments side, and asylum seekers gain clearer resolution.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
