The sinking in the Mediterranean of a boat carrying 700 migrants dominates the headlines today, with sources in the region predicting that most have drowned.
I don’t think anyone, whatever their political convictions can fail to be saddened by an event like this. Loss of life on such a scale is simply heartbreaking. Were we Africans ourselves, living lives of unendurable poverty, we too would take any opportunity we could think of to get a better deal for our families.
The blame for the incident must thus lie squarely on the liberal policies of the EU and on the shoulders of those who uphold them. It was they who made our continent seem like a prize any African and his wife could successfully pursue (even though it shouldn’t be). It is they who refuse to safely escort all migrants back to Africa when they arrive at the shores of Italy or Malta. And it is they who fail to crack down on the human smuggling gangs who operate freely on African and European streets.
The demographic explosion in Africa is going to make this issue predominant in our political discourse for the foreseeable future. Europe will have to make very tough and internationally unpopular decisions if it is to protect itself from inundation and cultural blackout.
A majority of the migrants attempting to sneak into Europe are Muslim, though there are also Christians among them. This co-habitation has often proven difficult and on occasion, tragi-comic: Just a week ago, it was reported that a group of Muslim Africans, after their own dinghy began to leak, threw the Christians overboard after they prayed to Jesus for help.
Needless to say, we have more than enough Muslim degenerates in our midst already and these Islamic migrants should be promptly returned to Africa. There is growing evidence to suggest this mass export of humans is being sponsored by Islamist groups in North Africa in order to destabilise Europe. If this is true, those Islamist groups should be pursued by Western and allied militaries.
And in general, our governments should make it clear that we are economically unable (and therefore politically unwilling) to rehome the population of Africa. The longer our governments take to do so, the more lives they actively put at risk.

Indeed. The long-term consequences of un-checked immigration are much worse than sensible short-term measures. These people are breaking the law by sneaking into Europe.

It’s sometimes irritating and annoying to see ‘Asylum seekers’ like these migrants being granted citizenship and free housing & benefits very easily and without much fuss and paperwork, whereas highly-skilled and highly educated legal immigrants have to jump through hoops to get citizenship and during and after this process, pay a large part of salaries in taxes and professional membership fees, only to find these guys reaping the benefits with no effort from their part at all.
And, on top of that, these guys hate the West and its culture (but love its benefits).

Indeed, and most asylum seekers do not have a legitimate claim in the UK anyway. They pass through many safe, democratic countries on their way to Britain.

“Stop the Boats” was a catch-cry of current conservative Australian PrimeMinister before he was elected in 2013.
The method was tricky, and opposition was inflamed by leftist sentiment of our government’s lack of compassion. It did work though. All unauthorised boat arrivals in Australia are not able to be permanently settled in Australia. The detention centres are operated off-shore in neighbouring countries such as PNG, and the minuscule Nauru. If claims of asylum are granted, resettlement in a third country is offered. Presently, the only participating third country is Cambodia. No Muslim majority countries are keen to house these refugees. Deals have fallen through (at great cost to Australia) in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The flow of boats from Indonesia (where most Muslims asylum seekers can arrive by aeroplane with a tourist visa) has all but stopped since this policy was introduced.
The former Labor government had introduced a more compassionate system, allowing for shorter on-shore detention – the boat arrivals increased exponentially.
The offshore-processing was agreed on by both the major Left and Right parties, and vehemently opposed by the Greens. The Greens maintain to their detriment an open-door policy … popular in the inner cities: not with everyone else.
The Australian government spends accordingly to educate asylum seekers in Indonesia (the majority come from Iraq & Iran) that they will not be housed in Australia should they pay people smugglers in Indonesia to get them to Australia. Many boats have sunk over the years, and the responsibility becomes the Australian Navy which will turn back seaworthy boats and detain non-seaworthy boats and process the asylum seekers before transferring them to detention off-shore. Unfortunately many of those have already paid their fare in the country of origin.
The Australian government has also invested significantly in prosecuting people smugglers. (Cost of passage from Java to Australia at USD$10,000++ per person, it is quite a lucrative racket) Cooperation with Indonesia on this has been difficult, as they obviously do not want asylum seekers settling there at all.
Europe: excise Lampedusa and other small islands closer to Africa than mainland Europe from the European/Italian migration zone. Australia did this to Christmas Island (which is geographically closer to Java than Western Australia, and site of most illegal boat arrivals). The boats will continue to arrive, remember that once the boat arrives on Italian soil it is not going back – so the quality of vessels will continue to be poor. There will continue to be disasters at sea – even in good weather.
It is a bleak reality moving forward for many hopefully migrants, little do they know that religious persecution will get them on the list in many countries as a legitimate refugee. solution: apostasy for freedom?

That sounds workable. I think the only refugees we should take in are those from countries plagued with Islamic violence. Nigerian and Sudanese Christian etc.. And these only in small, manageable numbers.

It CAN be stopped. It has been stopped by the current Australian government. Admittedly the numbers were significantly fewer, and illegal entry could only be attempted by sea and air, and not by land. But virtually all boats have stopped & air entry can be controlled.
This was accomplished through impeccable planning by Scott Morrison, the Minister for Immigration in the long years in Opposition. Shortly after gaining government he implemented Operations Sovereign Borders, which was a collaborative operation spanning both administrative & military sectors of government, under the command of a 3 star general. It also involved detailed diplomatic approaches and cooperation with neighbour Indonesia, through which the illegal refugees passed on their way to Australia. This allowed the Australian navy to either tow disabled refugee boats back to Indonesia or to transfer the refugees to purpose built boats at sea, after which they were similarly towed back to Indonesia.
Through this well planned operation people smugglers were eventually foiled & their market dissipated.
The current government proved that IT IS A MATTER OF DETERMINATION and planning and cooperation between nations.

I have enormous respect for the Australian government. They are a great example for other countries to follow- – on this and many other issues.
Unfortunately, the Australian commonsensical approach is seen here as almost fascistic. The Guardian even compared Australian immigrant holding camps to concentration camps. How do you debate with that?

BTW. The Australian government now faces the long haul of processing & attempting to return to countries of origin the some 50,000 illegal immigrants that the previous government so carelessly and recklessly allowed to enter the country.
And that does not include the hundreds of lives (including many many children) whose lives were lost at sea as a result of the policies of the previous government.

The cries of fascism will be loud in Europe if a similarly determined plan as the Australian Sovereign Borders initiative is implemented. It is completely normalised here in Australia for our PM and other senior ministers to be compared to Hitler. The left is rabid in its hatred of this policy. We are regularly reminded of the views of the Guardian, and how our international reputation has been apparently tarnished by the Sovereign Borders strategy.
The governments of Europe need to have a counter media strategy ready to bare the storm if they choose this route. The UK, and to a lesser extent Italy are surrounded by water and such a plan may be acheivable if there is political determination. There will High Court challenges, there will be protests. However, there are no protests when thousands of asylum seekers die at sea…there is only a backhanded blame against the government.
With over a million refugees in just Jordan right now, this issue is not going away. It will only become more tidal as time goes by.

Australia’s stance is simple:
If a refugee from Afghanistan or Iraq is arriving to Australia, he is passing at least a dozen peaceful countries including many Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Gulf countries, Iran and Malaysia & Indonesia. A refugee always seeks the nearest sanctuary and if he or she is not granted this sanctuary in any of the rich Muslim countries, which have the resources to take in refugees, why is this so? Are not all Muslims one Umma & one body? If so, should they take in their fellow refugee brethren?
Why is that rich, liberal Western infidel culturally dissimilar countries should take in thousands upon thousands of hostile & ungrateful refugees from tens of thousands of kilometers away, refugees created by the Saudi & Iran Cold War & Saudi financing of Islamic extremism, while the oil rich culturally similar Arab countries take in very few?
The fact is, that the Islamists are deliberately driving this demographic invasion. I’ve heard many of them talk quite openly of this fact on YouTube videos & on Memri. I’ve heard many average ‘moderate’ Muslims in private Muslim conversations gloating over the predictions that Western Europe would be majority Muslim in a few decades. They make no effort to hide this fact.
(They are in fact upset that the Islamic extremists have ‘alerted’ the Westerners to what’s happening to their societies by this demographic invasion and to the threat to their way of life by this alien religion)
It’s just that the Islamists have sensed a weakness in the Western psyche caused by leftist ideology and are taking full advantage of it.
In Australia, for so many reasons, this weakness has not taken hold.

I agree Athena, it is absurd that Saudi Arabia has less than 600 refugees, in what we are told is one of the richest countries in the world. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_refugee_population)
Why are they not pressured from the UNHCR to take more refugees, considering how little they pay their foreign service workers, surely some of these jobs could be taken by Muslim refugees from IS and Northern Africa.
What is even more absurd is that it is well known that these rich Arab countries have more foreign workers than citizens (read UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain etc). Where is their humanity?
