I do think there is some merit to the idea of looking at the problem in a different way.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-73935512992554996772013-06-18T17:59:32.106+02:002013-06-18T17:59:32.106+02:00"measures to ensure migrants' rights to h..."measures to ensure migrants' rights to health cover, education, help with housing and cultural integration"<br /><br />Praiseworthy of course, on the human level.<br /><br />But this cannot go on.

Also agree about the fdesperation of these "boat people." Yes, if only we could have that world of peace... Hi, Anne. It's a massive problem but maybe someone needs to look at it from a different angle, which is what I believe the politician introducing this bill is trying to do. Whatever peoblems we have in Britain, and despite recent outrages, it is, on the whole, a successful multicultural society and I believe much of that is because we do give due credit to the positive contributions that immigrants can make. In Italy, someone with a new vision is needed. As for crime, it is carried out by individuals of all backgrounds in all countries.<br />Hi, Rosaria. I hope this bill is passed because it could be revolutionary in the best of ways. Hi, Liz. I agree.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-69378243920029075482013-06-07T20:51:44.747+02:002013-06-07T20:51:44.747+02:00In several of the Montalbano episodes/books refere...In several of the Montalbano episodes/books reference is made to this dreadful trafficking.

Pun intended. <br /><br />The thousands of refugees on the move throughout the world are really difficult to police, particularly when shady people-smugglers/traffickers come into play. All they are concerned with is the money...not the people. <br /><br />We have Indonesia just to the north of us, and that's where the problem begins for us here in Australia. Refugees are lured and tricked by unscrupulous traffickers.<br /><br />There are so many angles to consider; and so many problems to be solved. <br /><br />A country has the right to protect its own borders; to know for certain who is being allowed into their country; what the true affiliations of the "refugees" are; that those seeking asylum are true refugees; that all who want to enter another country are genuinely looking for sanctuary; that they are not harboring some sordid, hidden agenda.<br /><br />And we, who have never experienced what some countries and their people have had to endure, really don't know what these poor souls have had to deal with; and, one would hope never to be in a similar situation. It's like the saying - "until you walk in the shoes of another"....<br /><br />The desperation of these people, traversing wild, unknown oceans and seas in overcrowded boats that aren't even decent enough to carry animals is difficult for the "normal" person to comprehend.<br /><br />Wouldn't it just be amazing if everyone on this planet lived in peace and harmony? <br /><br />Yes...you may call me a dreamer!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.com
