Probably because the right wing fringe doesn't talk about them as being refugees because they want that association in order to pander to their racial biases.

Refugee and illegal immigrant is interchangeable. An unwanted migrant cannot be a refugee.

The acceptability of refugees depends on the host government and society. In Italy, that is clearly not the case, and hence refugees do not and can not exist. They're illegal immigrants trying to gain access to a country that 1) declares them as such 2) doesn't want them there.

An illegal immigrant would be a person who entered the country illegally, and did not state that they were a refugee as soon as they could.


An illegal immigrant would be a person who entered the country illegally.

Sougra wrote: If they stay in the country, for say, a month and have made no effort to apply for refugee status and had no good reason not to apply, they're an illegal immigrant.


No they're an illegal immigrant if they enter unwanted and unchecked.

Sougra wrote:[
Of course a country has the ability to accept or deny refugees, however, the issue lies in the fact that from what I can recall, a government must allow the refugees to claim themselves as such and then review their case.


This is unenforceable international "law" with unironic quote marks.

Sougra wrote:[ I've yet to see the Italian government state that they will not take in refugees or stop reviewing them.


See Salvini's articles above.

Sougra wrote:[ The Italians don't want these people in their country, and that's their right to feel as such, but under international law, based on what I recall, they'd have to allow them to make their claim and then review it until they are either rejected refugee status or granted it. I assume the government, could take them in, "review" their cases, and then reject all of them. The Canadian government did a similar thing with the Black Dragon from what I remember.


They chose to bypass spending money on checking people and simply say no.

For the record, quote marks are used by the BBC when they’re directly quoting someone, not sarcastically to imply the opposite.

So the problem is he didn't let the unaccompanied minors disembark. Probably should have since the law says he was supposed to.

Jerusalem Post 'the entry of Ukrainian migrants declaring themselves refugees is a scam and symptom of Israel's dysfunctional asylum policy'

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/22000 ... cam-515336

They're very supportive of non-Ukrainians fleeing to Europe tho.

Oh I forgot New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/worl ... urope.html
"Ukrainian Migrants Fleeing Conflict Get a Cool Reception in Europe"

But when it's Sudanese Migrants Fleeing Poverty they are in fact Refugees.

The law is supposed to be a bitch. We rarely need to bother enshrining into law that people should do things they want to do anyway. Law says unaccompanied kids disembark and until that law is changed politicians should be bound with threat of legal action to comply.

If Ukrainians fleeing Ukraine are refugees, then Matteo Salvini should not be on trial. It's simple logic.

In the media it’s demonstrated all the time atleast in the states, how evil our government is for turning down immigrants and how we are all rascist for not wanting people who we have no idea of there background in our country when our veterans starve on the streets while these people we owe nothing to get welfare and special treatment.

Hence laws. What you're suggesting is that we should disempower laws so that the moment someone says "I'm forming a secret police to harass jews" that's perfectly fine. You aren't actually grasping the ramifications of what you're saying, someone kept some immigrants on a boat so they're on your team and that means laws aren't real.

I never said oppression, just a double standard. I am not meaning to play the victim but let’s also look at Europe in a whole. Germany’s immigration policy went over smashingly didn’t it? No country should be made to accept people of the government and people don’t want to. No Salvini shouldn’t be tried what else was he supposed to do? Go into international waters and dump them off from where they came? They could be from anywhere and what was he susposed to do leave them alone stranded in the Mediterranean?
