Italy’s Conservative New Prime Minister Stands Up to Migrant Smugglers
By Jihad Watch
The new Italian government refused to let male migrants leave the smuggling ships and enter Italy.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni vowed to resist mass migration. The low bar at stake here is the migrant smuggling operation in which NGOs pick up mostly Muslim migrants and “rescue them” by transporting them to Italy.
The new Italian government lightly put its foot down and refused to let the male migrants leave the smuggling ships and enter Italy.
Cue Das Outrage.
Charities have branded the actions of the Italian government “illegal” after it prevented 250 people disembarking two migrant rescue ships.
They’re not “rescue ships”. That’s a legal fiction, they’re human smuggling ships. And Italy has said that they’re welcome to take their “rescuees” who are no longer in any danger, anywhere they please.
So long as it isn’t Italy.
Migrants set sail in small, overcrowded boats from North Africa – often they get into distress and are rescued by charity vessels.
Correction, they get into the boats as a starting point for a feigned rescue and transportation to Europe where they can rob, rape and bomb to their hearts’ content.
In total 144 people were allowed to disembark the Humanity 1, which sails under a German flag, on Sunday morning. In the afternoon, 357 people were allowed off the Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF)-run Geo Barents, which sails under a Norwegian flag.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said those who did not qualify as vulnerable would have to leave Italian waters and should be taken care of by the “flag state”.
Why can’t Germany, the home of Wir Schaffen Das, take them? Or Norway?
The charity, known in English as Doctors Without Borders, added that “a rescue operation is considered complete only when all of the survivors have been disembarked in a safe place”.
Both charities said everyone on board their ships was vulnerable as they had been rescued from the sea.
That’s how this legal fiction works. The migrants pretend to be in distress. The smugglers pretend to rescue them. And now suddenly the illegal migrants are entitled to invade Italy because all the men are “vulnerable”.
“Free all the people, free them,″ Italian lawmaker Aboubakar Soumahoro said, calling the government’s new policy “inhuman”.
“Italian lawmaker”.
Soumahoro, 40, arrived in Italy from Ivory Coast at age 19 and went to work in the fields picking crops. But he aimed higher. He enrolled in the University of Naples and earned a degree in sociology.
Just think of all the sociologists and politicians on board those boats.
