![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() NEARLY 27,500 migrants reached Italy after crossing the Med in October – the highest total ever recorded for one month. The EU’s border agency yesterday claimed people smugglers “crammed even more” migrants into unseaworthy boats in a bid to beat the winter weather. The October total was twice the number recorded in September with Nigerians and Eritreans accounting for the largest number of rescued migrants. The staggering figures mean that 159,500 have reached the Italian coast so far this year, mainly from Libya – up 13 per cent on the same period for 2015. http://frontex.europa.eu/news/record...october-sc99xk This illegal and deadly trade is fuelled by avarice as the illegals are paying 2-3000 quid for the trip. 4600 have drowned this year! Professor Anna Bono of the University of Turin, an expert in African migration, has declared that most of the migrants coming to Italy are not refugees escaping from war or even poor people fleeing hunger, but young, middle-class males. Bono also said that traffickers in African countries are vigorously promoting emigration to Italy through extensive ad campaigns promising a warm welcome and extensive welfare assistance. “In the countries of sub-Saharan Africa there are advertisements inciting people to go to Italy, explaining that everything here is free. And indeed it is,” she said. Last month, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi warned that Italy will not survive another year of mass immigration like the present one. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016...n-record-2016/ http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/re...ober-728191108 http://europe.newsweek.com/migrants-...e-521856?rm=eu How can we stem this? |
