I was going to pass on this story, but because of..

$1:

Angelino Alfano, Italy�s interior minister, has claimed up to 600,000 migrants are preparing to sail from Africa as weather improves in the Mediterranean.

and the BBC just ran a story on how 6000 have arrived in the last 4 days.

6000 only to Italy.

This is all because Brussels doesn't want the Italians enforcing their sovereignty.

Where do all those people expect to go? Is Italy actually their ultimate destination or are they under the impression (by those that provided transport) that the "promised land" lies elsewhere in Europe?

Good lord, no.

No one in Italy actually wants them here.

They get moved on over to France, UK, Germany and Sweden. Better welfare programs.

They are coming to Italy first because it's closest to Libya.

There used to be a deal with Wacky Gaddafy to intercept these people at the southern
Libyan border and turn them back there.

Since Wacky is dead, there is still a huge power vacuum in Libya, and people

are moving through quite openly.


Thanks Obama. Fucking idiot.
