LAMPEDUSA (Reuters) - The Italian island of Lampedusa is struggling with a record number of landings from boat migrants, local officials said on Tuesday, describing the situation as "dramatic."
Lampedusa, Italy's southernmost point and a first port of call for people crossing from North Africa, has long been a flashpoint of Europe's migration crisis.
The daily tally of migrant boats reaching the island has surpassed a previous record of 63 last month and is expected to hit around 80 by the end of the day, local police chief Emanuele Ricifari told Reuters.
Overall, about 118,500 boat migrants have arrived in Italy since the start of the year, according to interior ministry data - almost double the 64,529 recorded in the same period of 2022.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, elected last year pledging to fight irregular immigration, has failed to bring down the numbers as a crackdown on migrants in Tunisia and continuing chaos in Libya have led to more sea crossings from North Africa.

How many migrants crossed the border in 2023?
More than 2.8 million migrants have had encounters with authorities so far this fiscal year, compared to more than 2.7 million migrants in 2022, according to the latest Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics. The current migrant figure includes August, but not September, the last month of this fiscal year, which has yet to be announced.Comment:
118,500 migrant invaders in one year is tiny compared to America's migrant crisis.
We have gotten 2.8 million new Democrat Voters so far in 2023.
This is not immigration this is an invasion.
But the Crazy Leftist Cult says that Americans do not have a right to their culture or paychecks.
The greedy corrupt Democrat Cult needs more moocher voters who have zero allegiance to America.
