Two Dozen African Girls Dead at Sea

What can be done about this at the end of the day? Tired of hearing about these heartbreaking stories.

Tortured and raped for trying to find a better life.

What's so bad about Nigeria that people would think this is a good idea? Why do so many people believe the idea of the west being a land flowing with milk and honey?

I can't embed it but you really need to check the CNN link. There is a video of secret footage from the auction. In one of them, it's a black man selling these folks as slaves. Just fukking evil.

Why are Nigerians not outraged about this?
In 2017 their countrymen are being sold into slavery and they do nothing to stop it or st least educate their people to not take the journey?
I watched the CNN video and I just can't

This is just pathetic at this point.smh

Sending people back is a very sensitive topic in Europe, especially for leftists. It cannot be addressed directly like this and will most likely be rejected because the EU has obligations toward people in danger.

What obligation does the EU have? This sounds like the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

Asylum right cannot be denied by any EU member. This is in theory, in practice many Eastern EU members ignore this law or set quotas. Same thing with the Geneva Convention on refugees: Western EU countries usually tend to apply the law fully compared to the Eastern Europe and to the US.

I didn't know any of this.

But from what I googled, this is a relatively new law, started in 2005, right?

Also, the obligation to provide asylum only applies to refugees, not migrants, right? So the overwhelming majority of people heading to Europe, being migrants, could be rebuffed without violating that obligation.

Would really like to see the developed world implement charter cities in Africa.

The EU law may be recent, I'm not sure, not the Geneva convention.
So the refugees/migrants distinction is tricky and controversial. Indeed a migrant has no right to come illegally but the EU has the obligation to help people in distress, that's why you see these camps. Some migrants will pretend to be political refugee to get a visa but this trick is now well known by Europeans and the screening process is now harder. That's why some people (far left usually) want to use the term "economic refugees" to make it mandatory for the EU to welcome all of them.

Italy, and the rest of Europe must make it useless to try. And should migrants still make it to European shores illegally, they should be sent back to their home country; anything else encourages more would be migrants to keep trying, encourages more stories like this.

Wages will always make it worth it to try.

Wages will always make it worth it to try.

If it's a clear waste of money with a risk of death, I think that would change.

Sex trafficking, I'd think. I saw dozens of young Africans girls and their pimps on La Rambla in Barcelona, approaching men, including me, to solicit sex. It was really heartbreaking and revealing about the darker nature of Spain's legal and social systems.

Wow truly heartbreaking. It’s like no one gives a shyt.
