The new Italian government, about which we wrote several days ago, has refused landing rights to a rescue ship which picked up 600+ African refugees somewhere in the Mediterranean. Spain finally agreed to let them land. See the Reuters and Associated Press stories on this new Italian policy.
What I'm not clear about is why the "rescuers" don't put the rescuees ashore back in North Africa, from whence they left? Spain won't continue to be the patsy indefinitely if more multi-hundred shiploads keep coming.
Italy will likely stonewall these (mostly economic) refugees. They ought to stay home and change what needs changing in their native land. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the links.
