Italy turns away ship of 600 illegal migrants

[The Republic of Fore]

Principle of not our problem.

One is actually in the treaty that governs how refugees are treated. The other is a pretty big case of "not a racist but".

And I'm sure the strongly worded letter Italy would receive would be very frightening. Also there really needs to be a logical fallacy for labelling anyone who disagrees with you a racist. Or mandatory ownership of a dictionary. Just because they're from Africa does not mean It's racist to refuse to accept them.

[The Republic of Fore]

Principle of not our problem.

You can't send people back to countries where they'll face oppression. And since they are, by definition, in your country for that to be a possibility, it is your problem.

Sure we can. The US did it with Cubans for decades. And jews during Hitler's Germany. What are they going to do if we refuse to take them? Get slightly miffed and complain?

[The Republic of Fore]

Turn them away.

But what's stopping them trying again? Only one sure-fire way to stop them landing, let's be honest.

Deploy the navy. Anyone who tries is arrested and sent home. Problem solved.

[Bashtosa]

Did you build a wall?

[Thermodolia]

Compassion doesn’t fix budget issues or financial crises.

Weird that you keep insisting on compassion for workers and veterans then.

Workers help our nation grow and veterans bled for their nation. They are much different than refugees who have done shit for our nations.

The fact that you can’t figure that out is depressing

[Thermodolia]

If you’re talking about me personally, you are definitely wrong.

Are you responsible for the current budget or the tax code?

No I’m not. And if I was it wouldn’t be the way it is

[Thermodolia]

If they are refugees kick them out. If they are an Italian citizen than they shall be helped by the state

What makes citizens automatically more worthy of help if all other conditions but need are the same between the citizen and the refugee?

Because it is the state’s duty to help its people first not some refugees

[Thermodolia]

That isn't our concern. Don't want to die at sea? Don't get in a boat. Quite simple.

It is the concern of any nearby vessels. Law of the sea.

Law of the Sea can fuck off.

Then it should be clear I'm not holding you personally responsible for the choices of the US government.

You can both be right: It was founded by a German captain and a French human rights activist and has headquartes in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

Won't stop them trying again though will it?

Law of the Sea can fuck off.

So why not actively combat the problem and torpedo the boats?

Nope but it will stop them from getting in. Which is the point. Anyway, torpedoing the boats would lead to a massive uproar.

Not unless you stated that human trafficking should not be allowed in your nation, which includes national borders. So fire a few warning shots and if they dont turn around you sink em

Alternatively declare it as an invasion, use it to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment back home even further and then you can finally rid yourselves of the menace, both home and abroad.

[Arlenton]

How costly is it to take in these immigrants?

Regardless I don't blame Italy. It's not their problem.

That's a bit off

You forget the part where the Europeans hand their money to the Turk to solve their problem rather than do it themselves for half the cost :^)

I agree

I really am sorry to Therm, I never meant to upset him.

I mean........ still better than Australia?

We don't have guillotines here.

[The Lone Alliance]

Turn them away.

I hope you know that the boats the refugees arrive on are not that sea-worthy. Also, where are they to go? There homes are either destroyed or being used as a command post by either the Syrian Rebels or Assad's forces. And they can't go back unless they want to be killed in the cross-fire.

Wow, once againt people fall for the propaganda stating that every single person is a Syrian refugee.

That's a lie, you were lied too.

[Ieskarios]

You mean to tell me that Syria isn't full of Africans? Say it ain't so!
