It’s a risk they took.

I thought that Italy has ceased allowing the boats carrying these invaders to land on Italian shores. What happened to that policy?

Refused help. Sad.

The humane thing would have been for the Greek or Italian navy to SINK IT.

Then whole corrupt, mafia-run, dangerous, illegal, corrupt human-smuggling business would stop, saving thousands of lives in the future.

“But Greek officials and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) say that hundreds more migrants may have been on board.”

IOM is likely the key trafficker here.

We are all God’s children.
However you must take care of your own ass
before you can help others.
First rule of a first responder is personal safety,
so someone doesn’t have to rescue an extra person.

I will not say this is “sad.” These are invaders coming to rape, pillage and sack the West. Good riddance to hell you bastards.

Look on the bright side - a couple of platoons of military age muslim fanatics won’t be invading Italy.

I wish the Rio Grande were deeper ...

So military aged men. Oh well. They should have learned to swim.

Men in their 20s. Well, there goes that diverse immigration theory.
