Likewise no one wants economic immigrants to risk suicide in order to impose themselves on another's country that doesn't want them, nor invited them. Economic immigrants who rely on deliberately putting their life in danger ought not expect others, whom they wish to take from, being soft hearted enough to bring them in to their country, out of a need to be humane. It's a deliberate and calculated abuse of human nature. They ought be towed back to where they came and given a stern warning that they might not get the same rescue next time they try it.

How do we know that these are economic migrants? My impression was that migrants attempting to cross the mediterrenean tended to be refugees from Syria or Libya. Considering those countries are now a violent wreck incapable of supporting civilian life, how exactly can people fleeing them be termed economic migrants?
They are coming from countries that have no war/conflict, and possibly there having already moved from another that did, in order to be safe. They're safe already at their nearest neighbouring country. Of course a move on again across a sea is for economic reasons. No one is going to be naive enough to believe otherwise; that excuse is a non-starter.
I notice that the ship Aquarius is funded by a French "charity" and has been busy "saving" refugees (hoovering up clients) and liaising with people traffickers. They now exercise their "rights" to dump them in Italy, who in turn says that Malta must open it's ports. Haha Malta. Why does the French charity not sail NW instead of NE and land them in France? Or is that the deal with the French Government? We will help and covertly fund you as long as you don't bring them here.
I really am shocked and appalled by the whole tone of this thread, come on people aren't you better than this, you are so insulated, so comfortable by sheer dumb luck that you were born in the UK/ Western Europe, to flippantly joke about other people misfortunes and some of you wishing death upon them in case they share in some of your comfort, I humbly suggest you have a word with yourselves because I'm with Krom this thread is deeply shameful and it's disgraceful.
