“stranded in the Mediterranean Sea”

No they weren’t! They were on a SHIP.

>>Must be Trump’s fault.

It is. He is telling Western Civilization that it is worth saving from Third World tribalism and 7th Century Satanism.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Take them back to Libya.

Don't they have tug boats?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

In NGO ships from what I’ve been reading.

[Constitution Day]

oh well

[HartleyMBaldwin]

If they’re still afloat, they’re not stranded. Words have meanings.

And never a criticism of the rich Muslim countries all around, that won’t help their fellow Muslims!

[cld51860]

When we were in Italy a couple of years ago we talked to a number of people who were alarmed and fed UP with the unfettered mass migration. I’m not surprised by this in the slightest.

[Thank You Rush]

“”On being asked, the average CNN reporter can’t name the President or Prime Minister of Africa””

Come on - you can’t be serious. Any specific country in Africa you’re talking about?

Give 'em some fuel and turn them 180 degrees. 👋🏼

[DoughtyOne]

What? They’re demanding asylum. How could they block them?

Bea ha ha ha...

Our folks should learn a lesson here.

Tell the boat to take them back.

[DoughtyOne]

Point is, they wouldn’t know enough to catch that.

Hey, it’s just Africa.

[SkyDancer]

It’s a start. Following Hungary’s lead.

Dear CNN :

1. ‘Stranded’ they are NOT. There are places to return them to, and the ability to resupply.

2. How many of the migrants are fighting age (18-45 year old) men?

3. Where are they from and why do they want to leave? (Shitholes, maybe?)

[Kozak]

Have the NGO take them back to Libya or whatever shithole they departed from.

[KarlInOhio]

How far off the coast of Libya do they have to get? Three miles or do they just have to wade into the Mediterranean and call Uber for a Skidoo to haul them to the Italy bound ship?

[JBW1949]

Why can’t Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon take them in and give them asylum?????

[VanDeKoik]

Too close to us.

St. Helena is nice, I hear.

Good for Italy putting an end to the latest Punic War!!!
