Austria 'Refuses' to Take More Boat Migrants After Ship of 450 Arrives in Europe......

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has made clear his strong stance on unlimited mass migration after he refused to take part in an EU-wide effort to distribute the migrants of a fishing boat that landed on an Italian island Monday.

Calling on the nations of Europe to work harder to prevent illegal migration to the continent, Kurz also pointed to the fact that migrant ships could be sent to countries outside of the European Union to disembark their human cargo.

The comments came after 450 migrants were picked up from a wooden fishing boat on Saturday, and brought to Sicily to disembark onto European territory. France, Malta, Germany, Spain, and Portugal have all agreed to take a small proportion of the migrants each, while Libya, the Czech Republic, and now Austria have refused.

Breitbart London reported in July of a ship which was taken over by migrant passengers who took the crew hostage and demanded the ship be sailed for Europe, rather than back to Africa. The incident was subsequently described as piracy.

Let’s take the normal 100-man raft episode, and the going price of $1000 to $1500 a ‘spot’ on the raft. This gets you a seat, a jug of water, and you get dragged out about 10 to 15 miles off the coast. So each of these Chinese-made rafts are then dumped and sunk. You can figure one raft can potentially make you $120,000. The raft? I would imagine runs in the $1000 range, with fuel and time figured...you ought to make $115k for each trip.

The only Libyans I think....who take a cut on the deal are the Coast Guard folks who just look the other way. I don’t think the politicians are taking bribes that way. Instead, they are forcing the EU folks to just openly send money to them....to pretend to lessen or stop the smugglers.

The Brits should house them on South Georgia Island. I hear it’s lovely this time of the year. If you’re a penguin, that is. The Danes could volunteer to house them on Greenland. The refugees could get to meet really friendly polar bears.

Merkel is acting out the wishes of the globalist elite who have controlled the development of the EU from a trading block to a federal undemocratic state. They hate the concept of national sovereignty.

Irish globalist banker Peter Sutherland (who worked for the UN) said back in 2012 that Europe was much too European and needed mass immigration from outside of the continent to fix this problem.

They want to destroy any sense of national identity we have, so that the population is divided and will not resist their actions when they slowly but surely take away the last of our freedoms.

Those “do good” humanitarians created a very lucrative flow of cash by cutting the business expenses of the smugglers. All the smugglers have to do is get their cargo out past the 12 mile limit line and the “do gooders” take over. Beats having to get their human cargo all the way to the European shoreline and you can bet the smugglers do not charge any less for the short trip than they did for the long one.

Libya has a ‘business’ to protect, which is loading up these refugees, I mean migrants, I mean invaders, and pushing them out to sea. The problem with taking them back is what to do with them. They’re not Libyans, in fact, they’re Third World types, even to Libyans (Kadaffi had moved the country pretty far forward before Hillary decided to take him out), so Libya doesn’t want them - so then what, they get sent back to Central Africa? Destroys the reputation of the smugglers should that happen...much better to force Europe to have to deal with them.

“The Austrian Speakers have a port?...On the water?”

Naa, Italy has them all until other countries take some, hopefully most, of them off their hands. Austria, by population is supposed to accept a certain number, maybe 20 (a guess, based on their relative population), but they said “no thanks”, as their prior government already carb-loaded with ‘refugees’.

Thank God most want to go to Europe as they don’t see a welcome mat here...

Uh, Europe is just conveniently closer. (Sucks for Europe.) I don't see anyone trying to cross the Atlantic in a rickety fishing boat or an inflatable.

One look at the link picture and we know damn well it's not 'fishing boats' that are are the problem.. it's 'george soros' inflatables that are the problem.
