The small Italian island of Lampedusa is being overwhelmed by the number of migrants arriving on its shores, its mayor said on Thursday, after thousands of people landed from North Africa on flimsy boats over the past two days.

You're making the assumption that Europe should and would want to receive more migrants?

Nope never said anything about migration policy. Don't read things, I never wrote. I was talking about the fact that every Person arriving at the european border has a right to make there case, why they want to enter & stay at the EU. I never said anything, about how lenient this right should be given.

Italy isn't able to fulfill this duty of hearing any case individually. It was clear for everybody that the borderstates like Italy or Greece can't fulfill this duty alone and that a treaty to spread this load is required & subsequently promised but never realised.

And studies have shown that the best way to prevent mass migration of obvious reject cases in the first is to process the people fast, send them back & let them tell there story, if they have no right to stay. Letting people live in camps for months or years is seen as success at home.
