| Germany plans to stop migrant boats from crossing Mediterranean |
| 2016-11-13 |
| [Jpost] Germany is proposing a plan to stop migrants from crossing the Mediterranean in order to stop large number of migrants from dying. The German government is pushing for maritime patrols to pick up migrants and refugees, and send them back to apply for asylum in African countries. It's the 'send them back' part which worries me - as your Al Smith was fond of saying... |

| #2 Alan, Australia seems interested in a two-pronged approach. From today's Daily Mail Europe colonist round-up (where it doesn't really belong): Australia and the US agree to 'one off' deal to send 1800 asylum seekers from Nauru and Manus Island to America... but will it last when Donald Trump comes to power? 13/11/16 Australia and the United States have agreed to a 'one off' immigration deal that could see about 1800 refugees in offshore detention centres sent to America. |
