If you saw a policeman ignoring a mugger, as they were mid way through beating an old woman for her pension money, would you help the victim, or walk on, muttering about the state of policing in this day and age?
The two scenarios are no different, and the correct response to them is similar. You do what you can for your fellow human beings, or you cease to be one yourself.

Except in this situation the muggers have come from the 2nd most resource rich continent on earth after Asia and have either been forced out by a more aggressive mugger or somehow convinced they aren't sitting on a gold mine both literally and figuratively. I don't believe these people on the boat were from Libya originally but in terms of oil per capita there are few nations richer than Libya with its mere 6 million population. Regardless in the future once the African Union gets its problem sorted it has the potential to become a superpower well beyond what Europe or the EU will ever be capable of without its colonies. It's simple math, run the numbers yourself.edit on 6-10-2013 by Strakha because: (no reason given)

i need to say
that i am scared about this People, much more scared than i am
about Refugees!
Japan has one of the strictest immigration policies in the world and has historically been closed off to outsiders. It has a foreign population of less than 2% - six times smaller than the percentage of the U.S.
If Japan’s strict immigration policy serves as a cautionary tale and Europe’s experiment is still a work in progress, then take a look at Canada – a nation with more foreign-born per capita than the United States.

If people stayed home and worked to FIX IT....we wouldn't have displacement of people by the millions on all but one continent on our planet .
This! Mass immigration isn't working, and it's not helping the poor souls still stuck in the country their coward countrymen left. Instead of risking their lives on the open seas for a potential personal gain, risk your life trying to right the wrongs of your own country.
I'm all for aiding people in need, but I've long since realized that immigration isn't help. It's just a band-aid on a festering wound. I'm rather well traveled, currently I'm living in Scandinavia. In the few years I've been here, I've seen small towns turn into literal hell holes because immigrants flood into them and refuse to adapt and turn these communities into a smaller version of what they left. Malmø in Sweden is an excellent example. Malmø's Muslim Influence
Also, these small European countries do not have the resources to continually take in refugees and immigrants. Doesn't matter how you try to play it off, doesn't matter how politically incorrect you say all this is, it's still the truth.
Instead of relying on a failed immigration plan, let's start working on something that does work. I'd like to see the Western countries set up schools and train police officers in these countries. I'd like to see Euro governments working hard with the governments of the countries we're helping. Give them incentives to help sway them to allow us to help them. This way, we'd be helping create a better future for all of them. Unlike now, where we unfairly pick and choose a very small amount of people to help.
