Libya Rejects Housing Illegal Immigrants Through EU Migrant Center Plan
20th July 2018
Libya’s Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj rejected housing illegal immigrants through the European Union’s migrant center plan.
“We are absolutely opposed to Europe officially wanting us to accommodate illegal immigrants the EU does not want to take in,” Sarraj said in an interview with German news publication Bild, according to Reuters.
Well, then, why don’t they stop them at the Libyan border? For the same reason Mexico doesn’t, I suspect.
The plan was proposed by Italy in June to calm tensions between western European countries, who are divided over how to process and handle the large number of people seeking asylum and entering as refugees.
Uh, how about putting them on a plane, landing the plane in Libya somewhere, and kicking them out the door?
