As far as I know the number of people looking for a job is very high there.

Why does Portugal have to receive those 4 Sudanese it they went to Malta? Does Malta receive the Angolans, Cape Verdians, Brazilians, and many other that come to ours shores and airports?
If malta is not able to secure it's own borders it's its won problem.

I don't like all these non EU immigrants roaming our streets in Malta, but you are right, why should we send them to other countries, and not back to their own country?

You get a lot of your ex colonials back as Portugal was a colonial power.
We Maltese never colonized anyone, in fact we were a colony ourselves.
But I agree the Sudanese should be sent to the Sudan.
