Reflection of public opinion on migration
Allan Gatt (October 30) misinterpreted Maurice Mizzi (October 23). At no stage did Mr Mizzi, in his correspondence, suggest any degradation of immigrants. Indeed he states clearly that "while these immigrants are in our islands they should be treated with all respect and kindness".
The degradation Mr Gatt refers to takes place in those countries where women "were publicly whipped by masked Somali Muslims for wearing bras, while men received the same dose of punishment for shaving their beards".
While being sympathetic to the plight of Africans who may have good reasons to flee their countries, among others to save themselves from degrading practices publicly avowed there, a massive uncontrolled flow of irregular migrants causes problems of assimilation and integration to the receiving countries, and it cannot be sustained locally in the absence of an effective burden-sharing agreement within the EU.
I have no doubt that Mr Mizzi - a gentleman in all respects - is reflecting the views of many ordinary Maltese citizens. Mr Gatt's suggestions of racial discrimination tend to be emotional and misplaced.

All of them if need be. All of Africa.
They are invaders of our country and invaders are repelled by any means.
They know the risks they are taking so let them face the consequences.
Then there are thousands who litterally choose to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that nothing is going on.
Then there are the third kind. These always point their fingers to others and present themselves as the champions of sainthood. They remind me of the pharisees in Jesus' time.
Yes, Malta should take its share of burden, but Malta should also consider its security. If not, I don't see good times ahead.

Muslims making fools of themselves?
Tell that to the survivors of 7/7,the relatives,friends of those who perished at the hands of"These Fools"
The powers that be,openly state,there is no if,but when, the next terrorist attack is perpetrated by "These Fools"
"Fools"they are certainly not,it is the Christian Population of the U.K. who are the "Fools",for letting these Militant Muslims,preach their messages of hate,wherever,and whenever,they feel fit
What has Christian conscience to do with immigration? Did you forget how many arabs the church's army had wiped out in medevial times in order to protect Israel! The majority of us Maltese which object to this invasion, doesn't wish any harm whatsoever to africans. But we must protect our shores, afterall we joined the EU and not the African union, therefore we should only welcome immigrants from member states who's identity and hopefully their conduct is known and confirmed.
About 700 million.
The more we take in, the more will come. Some will drown on the way. The larger the numbers that come the more deaths that will occur on the way. By encouraging them to come ( they do read the times in Libya on the internet), aren't the dogooders indirectly causing more and more to drown?
When Italy sent them back to Libya fewer attempted the journey and fewer drowned. That is the way forward.
Furthermore I do not want to, in 20 years time end up like England, with the same people we rescued telling us in demonstrations that they will dominate us and that freedom can go to hell.

At our rate of immigration don't be surprised if in 20 years time you will be writing away all your hard earned rights . Burying your head in the sand will not change the outcome.

“The Home Secretary admitted yesterday that the Government had made mistakes in its handling of immigration ... Alan Johnson said that ministers had ignored immigration problems and the growing pressure on jobs and services in parts of Britain. Some communities had legitimate concerns because they had been particularly affected.
Mr Johnson is the first Labour Home Secretary to admit mistakes on immigration. He said his predecessors had not addressed problems that led to huge backlogs of asylum seekers and foreign national prisoners…Mr Johnson said: “There are communities which have been disproportionately affected by immigration, where people have legitimate concerns about the strain that the growth in the local population has placed on jobs and services.”
Labour had been “maladroit” in its handling of the issue but ending immigration altogether was “no sensible argument”…Chris Grayling, the Shadow Home Secretary, said: “What we need is a tightly controlled system with much lower levels of immigration and an annual cap on the number of people who come to live and work here.”
"(ANSA) - ATENE, 2 NOV - Settecento milioni di persone adulte, soprattutto dall'Africa, sono pronte a emigrare permanentemente per cercare un futuro migliore... Lo rileva uno studio Gallup presentato ad Atene al Forum Globale per l'Emigrazione e lo Sviluppo. Secondo la ricerca, la destinazione finale preferita dalla maggior parte di coloro che sono pronti, avendone l'opportunita', ad abbandonare i propri Paesi sono gli Usa, seguiti in Europa da Gb, Spagna, Francia e Germania."
