Italian government announces it will fire on illegals

The only way. This report from Sky News:

Italian navy and coastguard vessels are to be ordered to open fire with live rounds on boats carrying illegal immigrants.
The radical approach to Italy’s asylum problem was outlined by a senior minister in Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s coalition government.
Reforms Minister Umberto Bossi said he was sick of illegal immigrants and wanted to hear “the blast of cannons”.
“After the second or third warning, bang… we fire the cannon,” Mr Bossi told Corriere della Sera newspaper.
“Without too much talking. A cannon to knock out whoever may be there.
“Otherwise, we’re never going to put an end to this problem.”

Not to disappoint, but Bossi said this over a month ago and was vilified for it by the Italian press. Berlusconi was somewhat nonplussed. Bossi is the leader of Lega Nord, a party that favors greater regional autonomy in Italy (if not outright secession by the northern regions) and less involvement in the European Union. He is firmly on record as wanting to preserve an Italian Italy and a European Europe. For this, naturally, he is denounced as a racist, fascist… He is an uneasy coalition partner to Berlusconi.

No open-fire policy has been announced; the possibility of it seems unlikely to me, and I follow Italian politics fairly closely. HRS

I also saw this news piece about a month ago, and the only thought that continually crossed my mind since was “Jean Raspail”.

His novel, which I read my freshman year of college in 2001, opened my eyes even further to the threat facing Western man from unimpeded illegal immigration.

Yes, the idea of shooting illegal immigrants may sound harsh, might sound insidious, but sadly the uninihibted tide of immigrants will only continue unless something drastic is done.

I will say this: with the indoctrination of college students about the joys of diversity and multiculturalism at full swing, and with the Republican party’s capitulation on issues of Western Civ. and immigration (except the brave Tancredo), the future of the Republic isn’t anything to smile about.

It will take only take a few shots fired near the illegals and imprisonment for the leakers to end the illegal invasion. The supposed high cost to contain illegal immigration is pure propaganda by the liberals and their allies.

A couple of years ago the Australian government sent the SAS on board a Norwegiean boat which had been hijacked by illegal immigrants. Instead of landing in Australia, the illegals were sent to various Pacific island nations instead. The result was that the government won a landslide election and no illegal boats have arrived since.

since 1950 the uk government has wasted 500million gbpounds on millions of legal immigrants,illegal immigrants,asylum seekers,refugees,migrant workers,escaped bogus asylum seekers,afro-carribeans,ugandan asians,kosovars,albanians,rwandans africans,bosninans,indians and pakistanis etc,to name just a few of the groups living in the uk,recieving benefits and taxpayers monies they are not legally entitled to,on housing,healthcare,education,universities and welfare benefits etc.FROM 1960till 2003,the existing 15nations of our european union,have murdered 110million kids by abortion,and replaced them with 125million peoples from outside our union from the immigrant groupings i mentioned above.a uk,child costs uk taxpayers 38gbpounds per week,for the first 5years of their lives,and 55gbpounds per week till they are 18years old,but to replace each of the 7million kids murdered by abortion in the uk,with a migrant worker his wife and 2kids costs us 600pounds per week to 900pounds per week.u do the maths,there are no good reasons for our union to import non european union peoples into our union,but there is good cause to get rid of these millions of moaners and spongers etc.

the muslims in the east are of no real threat to the west,its the muslims living within europes borders who are the real threat to our european union,because muslims make up 50% of the hagues population,20% of hollands population,muslims make up 30% of paris’s population and 22% of frances population,muslims make up 23% of londons population and 43%of londons population are ethnic minoritys of all colours too,they controll uk’s capitol city,and by doing so controll the entire uk.there are 14million non european peoples both legals and illegals,living in the uk,wasting uk and eu taxpayers monies.MUSLIMS now make up,22% of the european unions 15 populations and rising each year,by 3million across our 15 nations,this is insane.racism is evil but mass uncontrolled immigration is much more evil,as it destroys the host nations,economies,infra-structures,education,health,and welfare benefits systems stripped bare,also they destroy host country’s cultures societies and religions etc.immigration also leads to racism and genocide as in hitlers germany,kosovo,bosnia,rwanda,chechneya and the american genocide of the red indians etc,also the british raj was bad to indians too.

we need to de-populate the entire third world by about 2.5billion people by, abortion, steralization, commercial colonialism, backed up by, millitary force, withdrawl of food and medical aid if third world nations, refuse to comply with this nessacary culling of their peoples for the general good of all mankind.THESE third world people are the real cause of global warming and polution not our cars etc, these people cut down millions of tree’s each year to cook their meals and build homes etc, they cause a massive brown polution haze across the whole of asia, that covers europe eventually too.these people on the whole,do not contribute to any real meaningful degree to the worlds healthcare,food growing or technology etc,they could be asked to sell their organs to developed peoples,at a fair market price etc,this gives them income and us life saving organs etc, fair exchange is not robbery, as they say.there are far too many peoples in the east of all colours and creeds, that need to be culled, it is sensless for us in the west,to waste our food medicines, and money etc,on these peoples who insist on having massive families of between 2and 15 kids etc, this is bad for us all, both in the east and west.
