What is illuminating about the plight of these displaced refugees?

Naw... And there's me thinking it was highlighting a serious human rights violation.

Honestly, I do believe in general we need to tighten our borders. But for people like this..I really do think ALL EU countries should be doing everything they can to help them. These people aren't coming for benefits, or because our wages are higher than theirs, they genuinely are terrified for theirs and their childrens lives. Its completely different. I heard on the news a few weeks back that the amount of syrian refugees we have taken in was ridiculously low (something like 100 or so IIRC). This is a ****ing disgrace.

The EU needs to put into place Euro wide border controls to guard against this.

These potential migrants need to stop thinking they can just relocate to a richer country and all their problems will be solved. They cannot and should strive with help of billions upon billions of pounds of foreign aid to make their own countries prosperous .

They need to stay in their own countries and put their energies into tackling the problems there, not creating more problems for already overstretched European Countries

Whilst I agree with all this,these migrants are not piling into boats willy nilly they are being promised a better life by unscrupulous people and paying to cross in a lot of instances, I agree the waters should be patrolled if nothing else to stop these people from being ripped off.

Yes, are many not Christians fleeing to a Christian country in fear of persecution?

The migrants all come from Sub Saharan Africa. There is not much evidence I have seen that they fear for their lives - they are coming because the European streets are paved with gold in their eyes. Its mostly young men.

8,500 migrants had been rescued at sea between Friday and Monday.

One man expecting to leave on Wednesday night from the Egyptian coast, another popular launching pad for smugglers, earlier told the Guardian: “I’m determined to go whether or not there is a rescue operation. I’m risking my life for something bigger, for ambitions bigger than this.”

http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...ean-passengers


But the sharp increase is seen as a sign of both the desperation of the people, and the determination of the criminal gangs to ship people to Europe.

At the end of last year people traffickers also began using a new technique – buying a large cargo vessel, filling it with migrants who had paid for the journey, and then setting it on course for Europe and abandoning the ship.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-on-board.html


Stop the criminal gangs that are organising these boats and making top dollar.

Why are they terrified for their Childrens lives ? what has happened to cause this.

They are economic migrants are they not, not refugees from a war torn Country.

Libya's not a war torn country? It's been ravaged by chaos and anarchy ever since Gaddafi's death. Unfortunately that has made it a gold mine for smugglers and a hot bed of extremism where IS have stated their intention to use boats like this to ship fighters into Europe.

Exactly - and the very real possibility that IS are actually implementing that plan and have been for a while is a real worry. The trouble is - how do we spot them?

Every man is an island... On this island they are, and the unfortunates can remain on that island.

I'm surprised there's a search and rescue, I thought they scaled down those operations in oct 14?
Since then 1000s have died.
