Italy on Friday called on the Dutch government to take in the 47 migrants stuck on the Dutch-flagged Sea-Watch 3, which is operated by a German-run charity. The boat is currently stationed off the coast of Sicily as Salvini refuses it permission to reach the shore.
"If the Dutch government is not able to control vessels, which carry its country's flag there's a serious problem: The flag should be withdrawn immediately!" Salvini said on Twitter
Several Italian cities have offered to welcome the Sea-Watch 3, but it is up to the national government - and not local mayors - to give docking rights to the vessel.

Maybe the Vatican can accept all these migrants. Why shouldn't they be overrun like the rest of Italy?
From what I've been reading, Italy blames the French elites for the migrant pressure. Why can't France take them? Does this have anything to do with the recent court action against Salvini?

Thank goodness we don't have a problem with illegal aliens. The last thing we need are migrant aid NGOs bringing them to our borders.
Maybe instead of the next caravan, they all come here on ships.

Remember , this is a UN mandate to all EU countries to accept more "migrants"

This is the problem with ceding your sovereignty to a foreign organization. I hope that kind of crap never happens in America.
