Light at the end of the tunnel
The position of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea, and its refugees
Some light at the end of the tunnel
Welcome to our article (78) some light at the end of the tunnel 78
Dear readers, after a long time, something is moving in the right direction, which can give good result, it is like seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Anyhow, I have heard that they want to stop the refugees to leave their native countries. Now, let us hope they can do that, because this is the best way to stop them.
You see, the Italians and the European Union leaders have realized that they cannot solve the refugees’ problem, by going out to save the refugees from drowning, and then resettle them in Europe. We must say that on humanitarian grounds, people need to help and save other people when they are in danger.
But at the same time this letting the refugees in Europe in large numbers, is creating problems to the European communities, as we have witnessed already, when these refugees become terrorist and kill those people that have helped them to survive.
You see, these things are bad, because it is unnatural when you help somebody to survive, then that same person will turn around and kill you, this cannot make sense, but it is happening. But what we can do about these violent events nobody knows?
In the old times, when somebody saved somebody else from dying, the saved person would feel that he owed the saviour his life, therefore, he would do anything to repay his saviour, even being his slave for life. But today these people that are being saved from drowning, they don’t feel anything, in fact, they behave as if the world owes them more than that, so, they turn around and kill the person that has saved them.
But, let us leave behind how these people behave, because it is not helping to solve the problem, in fact, it makes things worse, so, let us start looking from another point of view, and talk about what can be done to solve the problem.
--------------------------
Why they want to solve the refugees’ problem
The refugees’ problem needs to be solved, because there are too many refugees arriving in Italy and Europe. They create social problems and the countries that receive the refugees cannot cope.
Now, let us start with the refugees’ problem in Italy, because the Italians have more problems than other people. Apart that the Italian have most refugees from overseas, which they save from drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, or let them disembark on the Italian territory, where they arrive by boats, the Italians have also many native Italian refugees that they need to help, which by right are supposed to be helped before the overseas refugees, but they cannot do that, because of the great number of refugees arriving in Italy every day.
Now let me give you a short description of what we know is happening right now, because things seem to be getting worse, you see, today, while I started writing this article, another earthquake has struck Italy again, this time is the island of Ischia, which is an island near Naples that many tourists visit each year, two women have died and a few dozen injured, which is not as bad as last year. Here I need to point out that, I cannot help thinking that one year ago, there was an earthquake in central Italy, which caused about three hundred victims and thousands of Italians are now homeless from this earthquake.
The Italian government is doing what they can, but the progress is slow, there are too many things to do, so, it is going to take a long time to sort that out. Anyhow, they are trying to fix what they can, even if it is going to take a few years, before they are back to normal.
The other problem that Italy has, is that the central government is not stable, they change the prime minister many times, because there are too many political parties, and they are quick at blaming each other, in the hope to have an advantage at the next elections. Sometimes I wonder how they can keep governing, when there is no firm government. Because of this lack of a stable government, they don’t have firm policies about emigrants, since each political party, has its own ways of looking at this emigrant problem. Anyhow, I think that at last they have come to a decision that this cannot go on forever, so, together with the European Union, they are trying to do something about the refugees.
So, let me say what I understand they want to do; they want to stop or minimize the refugees migrating to Europe, which I believe is something that they must have done years ago.
----------------------------
What they want to do about the refugees
After so many years, the European Union including Italy have realized that they cannot go on like this. You see, they cannot continue to take large number of refugees from Africa, because they cannot afford to do it, and because of the problems that they bring with them. Some of these refugees are not real refugees, because they are not in danger of being killed if they stay where they are, in fact most of them are refugees, because they want to find a better life for themselves.
Okay, we can say that there is nothing wrong if you want to find a better life for yourself, but if you do that and make other people suffer, then what you are doing is wrong and it must be stopped.
Now what can be done to stop that is not easy, because we need first to work out where is the best place to stop these refugees and how. We believe that lots of those refugees that are not real refugees, they become refugees, because they believe that the country they are living in is no good; so, they see everybody else better off than themselves, so, they leave and go in search of their ideal way of life, that most times does not even exist.
Of course, there are countries better off than they are, but to achieve that the people of that country have worked hard, and they are well organized people, that is why they have succeeded in reaching this high standard of living. But these would-be refugees don’t’ see it this way, they think to move in these better off countries and rip them off, by living using their welfare programs, which they have not contributed even a cent. What hurts most is that when they don’t receive what they want they become violent and do nasty things. For this reason, they must be stopped to emigrate to another country.
In fact, I believe that this is what they want to do, they want to help these people stay in their native countries, and they are going to help them to achieve that. Personally, I feel that if that can be done, then there could be light at the end of the tunnel.
I believe that I have said enough in this article, so, see you next time when I feel that I have something else to say about world news.
