Truckers, beware of illegal immigrants!

Published on : 15 May 2011 - 9:00am | By Silvia Brens (Photo: RNW)
More about:

African migrants try to enter Europe at all costs. Dutch trucker Marcel Sulkers has to keep checking his vehicle when he’s in Greece - someone might be literally hanging on to his lorry.

Dozens of migrants, mostly young men, come running over as soon as they see a lorry. They have nothing to lose and are prepared to take serious risks. It makes Marcel angry. If he’s stopped with illegal immigrants in his lorry, he faces prosecution for human trafficking.

This kind of outrageous invasion of illegals from N.Africa nd Asia was predicted by some shrewd observers as far back as in the late eighties and now it is happening.
This not be allowed by any European country and these people should be shipped back after urgent medical care.
It takes a lot of expense, sacrifice and heartache for genuine legal immigrants to get to a country to better themselves so why should illegals be given any preference.
The warning that also comes with this sort of invasion is that a lot of them are from oppressed Muslim countries and they will soon bite the hand that feeds it. Europe beware. Your sense of fair play will be used against you.

Well, Greece, Italy and Spain have become human ''trashyards'' of Europe. Illegal immigrant from Africa and Asia that want to come to Europe are arrested in those countries and because of Dublin II agreement they cannot be forwarded to Europe. As a consequence ~1,000,000 ILLEGAL immigrants in greece alone (10,000,000 inhabitants) cannot be provided even the basic things to survive as nobody could afford that.
P.S. Most of those immigrant come from countries where Western countries have illegaly invaded e.g. Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc. If you want to invade accept the immigrants also. They are humans that deserve a better life.
