Quote:ROME (AP) — Italy's migration crisis took on a deadly new twist Thursday as police in Sicily reported that Muslim migrants had thrown 12 Christians overboard during a recent crossing from Libya, and aid groups said another 41 were feared drowned in a separate incident.
Does anyone know if the Italians are sending these migrants back or letting them stay? Because, if they are letting them stay then they are simply rewarding them and encouraging others to take to the boats which seems counterproductive if your goal is to stop these mass drownings.
I don't think it has anything to do with rewarding. I think it has everything to do with what is good about the west, all be it imperfect, our empathy for our fellow humans. I don't see this type of thing as any different when people drowned trying to get from Cuba to FLA or drowned trying to cross the Rio Grand.
If I was desperate to escape war crime and poverty, I would not want someone to send me back.
