F1, thanks for the links. Guy who killed those innocent people should executed if Italy has the death penalty. I've followed the story of organized crime over there and how, of course, they make money from the immigration crisis. here is just one article about it https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worl...ans-more-money/I'm reminded of two passages from the Godfather book. The first one mentions the cleverness of oc, the second mentions the overall negative impact oc has on whatever society they operate it. 1)Story is told about how oc controls trucking industry in a region....and overloads the truck past legal limits (damaging the roads)....and then oc controls road paving industry and bidding....and gets paid to fix the roads they ruined 2)Story about a water mill being built in Sicily that would improve life in a certain town...oc can't get their cut so they have it destroyed. From what I've gathered about the story..roman mafia lobbies for the rights of immigrants to be "rescued at sea" and not turned away....they work with oc groups in the origin countries of the migrants to smuggle them to Italy, they bribe officials in Italy to get contracts to build or run the immigrant detention centers, they pocket most of the money to operate these centers,then they contract out local work to the illegals paying them pennies on the dollar. Their country is flooded by more immigrants than can be absorbed, the citizens and govt. are subsidizing the living/care for these immigrants......and oc doesn't care because they are making money ...."more profitable than drugs" is how this immigrant racket is described by one of the accused.

This is concerning.
Before this massive wave of immigration there was already a problem with Muslim communities in countries like England, France, and Germany. Radical Islam is a problem brewing, ready to explode like a powder keg.
What the hell is Europe going to look like 50 years from now? What will happen to the natives as the immigrants have more kids and bring their culture with them, which as we know, is very different from secular liberalism that Europe, for the most part, has embraced.
The natives are footing the bill for all of this shit. And the goddamn EU continues to insist that they take in all these people when it's not economically possible. Why would they accept thousands of migrants when they have enough problems as it is? rockstar, all that's going to happen is that some economic collapse will be engineered to wipe out all of the jobs and cut off most social safety nets so that immigrants will be encouraged to go back home. That is what is happening slowly in the United States. The jobs crisis here is engineered and artificial.

Gets - Good comments as usual. Adding to what you wrote, the Mafia severely damaged Sicily's lemon industry back in the early 1900s. That's what they do. They are parasites, cancers.
rockstar - Yes, EU leaders like Merkel and most of the press continue to label people who don't like this overwhelming influx "anti-immigrant" and "xenophobic," as if they hate immigrants. I bet, like you wrote, most of the citizens are concerned about Muslim immigrants, most of whom are influenced by the extremist Wahhabi form of Sunni Islam that Saudi Arabia spreads through its massive wealth. But don't worry, it'll be more like 20 years that Islam is dominant in places like France, with Germany, England, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Italy not far behind. They'll impose Shari'a and have full control of France's nukes.
Saudi Arabia is basically just a long-term form of what ISIS is; their beliefs are not very different, but their strategies are. Saudi Arabia does the same types of punishment on its own people that ISIS does, including crucifixion.
If the Iranian leaders weren't so obstinate and stupid we could be allies. Yes, Iran also practices the same sort of medieval punishments Saudi Arabia does (just not as often), but in the scheme of things Iran could be the lesser of evils. Just like supporting the Syrian government is a lesser evil than ISIS, but like Iran it is also a bad actor, plus Turkey, our sometimes ally and a member of NATO, wants to overthrow Syria and make it Sunni. It's sort of like a chess game in prison where a mass murder is on one side and a serial killer on the other. Bad choices all around.

This is the largest refugee crisis since the end of WWII. The terrors that sent these people fleeing from their native countries, and their plight, are terrible. But, there is no way Europe can absorb so many refugees without further human toll--on the refugees, and on native populations in Europe and their political institutions. This is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Plus the fact that huge numbers are economic migrants and not genuine asylum seekers. Europe is an overpopulated landmass, most of the EU member States are still recovering from the global recession, jobs, housing and welfare support are just not there to accommodate mass influxes of people. For the genuine cases of people fleeing ISIS controlled southern Syria and northern Iraq It's a travesty that the likes of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are refusing to take anyone. These are rich Arab nations who should be lending a hand.

This current wave of immigration is different from past ones and are there for different reasons. As sbhc pointed out, the Gulf states are refusing to accept them, but they also seem to be skipping over Turkey. Instead they're going to European countries with no history of Islam except for fighting historic invasions when the different Muslim empires tried to conquer all of Europe. So what's the pull factor for them to head to western Europe instead of other Muslim countries where they share religious beliefs? It's probably Europe's overly generous social welfare policies.
The push factors are Muslim terrorist groups like Boko Haram in Nigeria, Chad and Congo (and maybe a few other countries), and of course, ISIS in the Middle East. Poverty is another factor, which isn't only caused by crony capitalism and greedy dictators, but Islamist terrorists also create poverty, especially for those who disagree with them. People are forced to flee for their lives and leave everything behind. It's also difficult for a large company to set up a factory or warehouse when there's a high likelihood that it will be blown up. A similar reason exists in Zimbabwe, where there's a likelihood that your business can be confiscated at anytime by the government. As a business owner, you're going to say, "Screw that, I'll go somewhere else."
In a lot of these Muslim dominant countries, a hardline dictator is often the lesser evil. If the U.S. and other countries didn't support the Arab Spring against Qaddafi, Libya wouldn't be the base of terrorists that it now is. People all over Africa used to go to Libya for work, now they are either fleeing it or bypassing it. Assad in Syria is certainly a lesser evil than ISIS, and a smart diplomat or group of diplomats could probably get him to change some of his behavior in exchange for protection and support. Instead, President Obama and senators like John McCain have been arming anti-Assad rebels who either end up joining ISIS or running away from it and leaving millions of dollars in equipment and weapons behind for ISIS to grab and use against everyone else.
The foreign policy of the USA is just dumb as a rock stupid sometimes. Going back to Bush, we shouldn't have invaded Iraq in the first place. After we did, the anti-Baathification policy was another disaster. The surge, on the other hand, worked and we should have maintained it, instead Obama pulled everyone out which immediately led to ISIS moving in and filling the vacuum. Our meddling in Egypt led to takeover by the Muslim Brotherhood, but the Egyptians smartened up and got rid of them and put in a real leader, but the U.S. only gives him tepid support. Meddling in Libya led to the current disaster where ISIS now controls part of it, and Al-Qaeda another part. I already wrote about Syria, and now this stupid and disastrous Iran deal that begins with unfreezing over $100 billion in assets that Iran has already said they will use to fund terrorism against the United States and Israel. It's just insane. Maybe Iran ought to use that money to help the Syrian and Iraqi refugees since they are their allies.

Best case scenario: They are massive welfare recipients, burdens on these societies, but manage to peacefully refuse to assimilate as they outbred the native population. Long game: they win.
Worse case scenario: Beyond being massive takers, they are also angry at their hosts for their refusal to accommodate the same cultural, religious and economic third world hell that made them flee their homeland to begin with. Executions of atheists in the streets, terrorism, etc. Shorter Game: they win.
Thats it. Beyond showing purposeful propaganda of dead children, NOBODY can make a showing why these invaders in anyway will help their host country economically or culturally. And that is what a immigration policy should be based on: how will you benefit our national interest. Young Islamic men with 4th grade educations cannot and will not.
PS: Where are the women and children? It's like all 20 year old guys in middle class clothing and looking well feed. Where did these coward ditch their female relatives before herding on to trains in search for the best welfare program?

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Well said Nicky.
If Europe doesn't crack down on this now they will suffer for it. Forget being humanitarian. You can't. You have to think about this in economic terms and of your own people. The natives will suffer for this, and no liberal propaganda will change that. Europe belongs to the Europeans. True. I live in Europe and I don't like to see where it's going. And I consider myself fairly open minded, having friends in both Turkish and Moroccan communities. But the big difference is, those people were born here. Those new refugees are illiterate, there's no room for them here...they are, I'm sorry for being blunt, "useless". Seriously, fuck all that "humanitarian" bullshit. It seems many European nations still have some sort of feeling of guilt for the things they done in the past that they still feel to need to make up for it. It's bullshit. And again, I'm sorry for being rude, but I couldn't give two shits about some dead kid that washes up on a beach. Kids die every day. If there hadn't been a picture taken from the dead kid not a soul on earth would've given a shit. And is the dead kid Europe's fault? What do they fucking expect from us? That we all drive to fucking Syria to pick those refugees up ourselves? The kid's family took the risk, it all went wrong, the kid died because of the risk his family took. It's as simple as that. I'm not one for fear mongering. Claims it'll happen in 50 let alone 20 years are far off base. But give it another century and Europe really will be on its way to look like a Middle Eastern colony if it goes on like this. Maybe I'll not be here to see it happen, but on the other hand, it isn't the future I'd wish for a continent that gave birth to so much civilization.
