    The new Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has said illegal immigrants should start packing their bags. How does someone from Cameroon, who now lives legally in Italy, but like thousands of other people did the dangerous journey to Europe feel about this? 📻pic.twitter.com/gSvjLJC9zH

        I find it so interesting that the descendants of the people who invaded & colonized continents are saying to these people how dare you come onto our shores and live in our land. Nah, doesn't work like that. #DealWithIt and get over your xenophobia

        So historical colonialism (of which Italy hardly had any colonies) justifies mass illegal migration?

        That’s true if someone can cross desert and sea risking his / her. Something push he/her to go that far. My message to the Italian Minister have mercy. Please show some for humanity.

        Those who incentivized these poor africans to take the risky journey are criminals (Merkel, swedish govt, Juncker and other crazy leftists). Not Salvini. The duty of our EU politicians is to protect us, not foreigners.

        But they never protected Libya from the NETO terrorist bombers . They never protected Libya from the USA terrorist bombers. They never protected Libya from the Sarkozy French terrorist bombers. They created illegal immigrants from Africa.

        I was in Italy a week ago the locals told me that if the immigrants had treated them with respect they could have stayed but they have no respect for there new country that Gabe then shelter. It’s the same story all over EU
