Yes, it's the humane thing to do. Borstar teams rescue illegals in the desert all the time, sometimes the illegals even call 911 on their cell phones if they've been abandoned by coyotes and they're lost and out of water.
The African illegals who are flooding Italy pay marine coyotes $1500 apiece to carry them right up to twelve miles off the coast on a full-size freighter. There the coyotes offload the intended migrants, sometimes hundreds of them at-a-time, into inflatable rubber boats, point them in the direction of Italy and radio distress messages to the Italian Coast Guard which is required by maritime law to rescue the now drifting and helpless Africans packed on the boats.Yes, it's the humane thing to do.

This obvious scheme to circumvent immigration laws has successfully enabled tens of thousands of Africans to enter Italy legally and to impose themselves upon the resources of that nation.
This situation is analogous to you being legally required to permit persons to enter your home and take up residence simply because they squatted on your front porch.
The only reason this maritime scam has been working for the past few years is because the scammers know it will. All it will take is for the Italian Coast Guard to start responding to those distress calls with an emphatic "va fongoul!" rather than sending out rescue boats and the scam will cease.
Inhumane? Yes. But necessary.
I didn't know that.And this is news to me? I know it and other schemes are working. As far as I know maritime law says you have to rescue, doesn't say you have to drop them off in your home country. If they returned them to the African cost it would stop also.
Probably not any port but somewhere along the coast near a port. Of course that could create an international issue which is why they're not doing it.I didn't know that.And this is news to me?

So the $64 question is why aren't the Italians doing that? Why aren't the Italians screaming that question out?
Are you sure they could return them to Africa if they chose to?
While I haven't seen or heard it said anywhere I wonder if these boat people are requesting asylum from life-threatening persecution, which I believe (but I'm not certain) under International Law would entitle them to protection by the rescuing nation. If this is true it really puts the cherry on the Charlotte Russe in terms of a slick scam.Probably not any port but somewhere along the coast near a port.
