Update: Italy allows some of the latest migrants
off the ships in Sicily, by Ann Corcoran, 7/16/18.
Relocating the migrants would “lead down the road to hell!”

Babis)
Invasion of Europe news….This
is an update of yesterday’s post about Italy telling other EU countries
that they needed to step-up and take in 50 each of the 450 African and Middle
Eastern migrants rescued by two Frontex vessels over the weekend.
So
far now, five countries have agreed to take 50 each (mostly men): Germany,
France, Malta, Spain and Portugal. So who will get the remaining 200?
From
the BBC: Italy
allows migrants to land in Sicily
Italy will allow 450 migrants who were picked up from an overcrowded
boat on Saturday to disembark in Sicily.
The
decision was taken after Italy said that France, Germany, Malta, Portugal and
Spain had each agreed to take 50 migrants.
Malta
and Italy had earlier each insisted that the other country should allow the
boat to dock.
Italy’s
new government has toughened its policies in an effort to stem the flow of
arrivals on its shores.
Of the 450, only 57 are women and children!
So
far, only women and children, 57 people in all, have been allowed to land in
the Sicilian port of Pozzallo.
The
migrants were rescued from a boat in the Mediterranean by two vessels of the
EU’s Frontex mission, but Italy was unwilling to allow them to land at its
ports.
France
and Malta said on Saturday they would take 50 each, with Germany, Spain and
Portugal making a similar pledge on Sunday.
But
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis dismissed the request, saying relocating the
migrants would “lead down the road to hell”.
Babis is exactly right—so what will happen with the hundreds that
arrive tomorrow, the next day, the next week ?
Libya: Once your rescue ships have picked them up, they are all yours! And Libya restated its refusal to take
in anyone from the ship. “No, we
will not accept any illegal migrants after they are rescued by rescue ships,” a
coast guard spokesman told Reuters news agency.
