#1 Listen, I am a left leaning progressive/liberal, but this doesn't mean that we are all soft in the head.

In fact some of us are quite solution oriented. I do have a solution to this situation, and an elegant one that should satisfy everyone.

The Rev. Cosimo Spadavecchia should be stripped of his Italian Citizenship, shipped to Nigeria where he will then be issued the appropriate documents from his new State. Then, one Nigerian may take the Reverend's place in Italy. This could be acomplished 30 times and presto(!), the problem is resloved.

This is not a difficult case. The people are ecomomic migrants and if they wish to scream and shout and jump off the ship...that is their right...as was their right to foolishly board the ship in the first place.

Additionally, if they are legitimate refugees from war, then send them back to their country to fight for freedom there.

There is no problem in this story if you look at it in the right way.

Best Wishes,
