The article by Hugh Peralta, ‘A time bomb to set off or defuse’ (August 25), is another timely eye-opener vis-à-vis the irregular immigration scenario.
I would just like to highlight one point from his splendid contribution, that of integration.
It is a fact that integration has failed completely worldwide.
See what has happened to the old India we knew before its independence; it is now three separate nations.
What about Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia?
Where is the USSR?
Let us analyse the events that are taking place in such countries as Ukraine, the Holy Land, Syria, Iraq, Korea, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, etc.
It is our sacrosanct duty to resort now to drastic action to spare the future generations of our dear Malta the problems, the strife, conflicts, civil wars, hatred and murders that attempts at integration would bring about.
