This is bonkers. On your link, the list of possible countries where these guys are coming from does not even list Libya/Morrocco/Tunisia. It only has Somalia, Eritrea and Nigeria as possible African countries. There is nowhere to input the vast majority of North African economic migrants that pay these people smugglers that this topic is about.

 I have another issue with your link. It states a rejection rate - 27 or 50% I don't understand the layout. But, there is nowhere that says how many of these rejects were actually physically deported.

 Sorry but this link, and the purposeful limitations it seemingly contains, is exactly the sort of thing that irks Europeans when it comes to migration. Honesty is needed. First and foremost.

What do you mean by “it may seem heartless”? It is 100% heartless, no ifs, buts or maybe about it.

 

but that aside ( as your morales are your own) can you provide a link to the claim that it’s illegal for commercial shipping to rescue people in distress at sea.... because I can find no such law, and would counter that it’s illegal not to rescue lives at risk at sea, and to then deliver them to a safe place (for those suggesting they be taken back to Libya etc... a safe place typically means not returning them to their point of origin)

 

things are not perfect, but there are laws in place, which should be adhered too.... and yes, perhaps these laws need to be changed. 

 

look at Israel as a near perfect example of mishandling a refugee crisis. refugees have always been an issue, and it’s common sense that it always will be an issue.... and this issue certainly needs a shed load of thought before the US create another refugee crisis in Iran.

rescuing life at sea was agreed upon with  shipwrecks of other vessels in mind. Not as a premeditated way to put yourself in danger on purpose, so ships have to come to your rescue: most ships now either avoid this part of the MEd, or just sail on, and rightly so: they buttered their own toast.

 

As to Israel: to me is is a perfect example of how to deal properly with a migrant-crisis. It is impossible to take in all migrants that hammer at the gate, and Israel does the same as people in an already full lifeboat: they keep others clinging to the sides from climbing in, so as not to sink.

Again why can't you do some of your own research e.g. number of deportations from Germany can be gained from reports, plus the challenges the German government faces with deportations. Making an assumption I would guess unknown nationalities covers some of your concerns. 

 

Some other stuff gained within a few minutes...

So before commenting further do your own research rather than alleging conspiracies which is so - boring.

Yes.. well... understanding the origin and intent of rescuing life at sea, does not equate to ignoring people in distress because... what... they are slipping through a loophole.

 

Are you 100% behind closing all loopholes? I’m not sure I am.... lol... and I’m damn certain that the hogs would vomit back into the trough, if someone campaigned on that.

 

And... could you really sail past someone drowning at sea, as you appear to be claiming that it’s the right thing to do? Personally, I’d spit on a ships master who admitted to doing that... well... maybe not spit, but you get my drift.... disrespect... throw a milkshake maybe.

 

Also,  you completely missed my point about Israel. Israel is a state that was set up after WW2, by the allied powers, to resettle displaced Jews by stealing land from another country, which has created a 70 years plus crisis in the Middle East, with the resultant real threat of another world war... I do not call that a perfect example of anything other than what not to do.... (as in don’t steal parts of... say.... Mauritania... to resettle Mexicans or whomever)

2. sea captain and crew are criminal human traffickers , who hopefully will be trialed in italy. they violated italian law which prohibits any vessel with illegals to enter italian waters without italian permission. international maritime law requests illegals to be returned to nearest ports marocco or tunisia.

34% is not a mandate.

 

Courts decide guilt, not arresting officers or internet barristers.

Glad she's been arrested and hope she gets at least 3 years. Impound the boat and sell it/sink it. She thinks she's some sort of Robin Hood?  she's not she's a liberal pc do-gooder who thinks she can blackmail Italy. I wish all these countries would man-up, dont get like weak USA and let all these economic migrants in or your economies will collapse with free health care, schooling etc.

Tell ya what 'Tug' I would not try and enter a country illegally. That organisation is designed to assist aliens to break the law.

She was ordered not to enter Port and she did so. Would your captain do that 'Tug'?  nah don't think so.

Except the ship was LOOKING for illegal immigrants to rescue.....

 

Entirely different to another ship/boat on the seas that encountered trouble, and so genuinely needed rescuing for reasons beyond their control.

Yes. The org has been designed to do just that. Go around 'picking up' so they can get more donations from liberal do-gooders. You obviously live in a pc 'bubble' and are not aware of her and her org's role, try doing some research.

Yes the vessel was seeking to locate and assist human beings in distress, what's your problem?

 

How many times does it need to be spelt out to you that asylum seekers must first be processed to ascertain their status. Currently for the EU it's somewhere around 37% who are recognised as genuine refugees. Your education process can commence from content provided below.

"The Alarm Phone is not a rescue number, but an alarm number to support rescue operations.

1. Call the coast guard and tell them about your situation of distress.
2. Call the Alarm Phone. We will make sure that your distress call is acted upon.
3. If you are not promptly rescued by the coast guard, call the Alarm Phone again. We will inform humanitarian organisations and public media to put pressure on the rescue services."

'Cause governments have under funded resourcing as well as not putting in-place sufficient government to government agreements to facilitate deportation. Do you reckon the extreme right wing EU governments will have success with negotiating such agreements? I do not.

Added to which, some countries (notably Iran) flatly refuse to accept deportation of their citizens. Iranians convicted of drug crimes in Oz are looking at permanent Immigration detention after their prison sentences. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-30/iranian-drug-offender-faces-indefinite-immigration-detention/9711502

Believe you referencing the info at the link below which came up when I did a search? If so believe you're quoting the total cost that includes detention and so on.

 

http://www.migreurop.org/IMG/pdf/migrant-detention-eu-en.pdf

 

Solutions? Western government complacency, dramatic under funding, lack of local resources and totally inadequate access to legal processes for asylum seekers in host countries led to the massive influx into the EU in 2015. Accordingly within EU countries invest in more resources and infrastructure to hold and rapidly process asylum applicants, more security (police?) to track down and detain 'illegals', harsher penalties for those employing and exploiting 'illegals', expedite government to government agreements for deportation, heavily focus on diplomatic relations with source countries, reevaluate effectiveness of aid programs then refocus, identify and engage with effective NGOs on the ground etc etc

1. sea-watch entered italian waters and docked in lampedusa violating italian laws.

2. sea watch staff created the emergency situation on board willfully with criminal intention by staying 3 weeks on sea.
