What is a Ghanian illegal immigrant doing in Malta?
They do not qualify for anything.
Where are your pair of stro(i)ng hands Gonzi?
The only solution to this illegal immigrants invasion and which the vast majority of Maltese citizens want implemented is the deportation of all illegal immigrants and not a single one allowed to remain in Malta.

Asking again as the fellow writers below. What is someone from Ghana, an oil rich country doing here? How much more ridiculous can our authorities be?

Ghana is a rich and wealthy large nation with a stable government. Why does the maltese government put up with these illegal invaders that want to live off our largesse , naivety and tax money. We are being played for suckers, we owe nothing to them and all their monkeyshines.

What is this migrant from Ghana doing here. Ghana is a stable country with no internal conflicts. So what is stopping the Authorities from sending him back?

Illegal immigrants from Ghana do not qualify for refugee status. President Obama went to Ghana and gave a speech praising Ghana to high heavens. This illegal immigrant from Ghana should be sent back to his own country immediately, even before he finishes his prison term. We don't want these people in our prison, taken care of at the expense of our taxes. We want them out.

Why is this guy described as a 'migrant' - he is an 'illegal migrant' - he must be his papers are false.
Someone here in Malta supplied him with these forged documents - who, and are the police investigating this aspect of the 'illegals' or is it too much trouble, I wonder?
