The European Union and the deluge
The illegal immigrants problem in our country is great and urgent.
It has been brought upon us by our country’s membership in the European Union.
The Union directives and policy are not helping us to solve the problem.
Now it has become a serious social threat for our people.
It is necessary to take urgent steps about it to prevent greater
social damage in future.
Ten days ago, the Chairman of the Refugee Appeal Board, Professor Henry Frendo,
wrote at length about this grave problem, in a Sunday Newspaper, in
English.
He arrived at the conclusion that if we remain bound as we are today, in a few tens of years from now our people would have two stark choices.
These are that either we would cease to exist as a nation, or to leave the European Union.
Immigrants
not refugees
Professor Frendo’s article on illegal immigrants in our country should open the eyes of many people that have still not understood how grave and urgent is the problem of illegal immigration in our country.
Some in high offices are trying to minimize it by speaking about irregular immigration, not illegal immigration.
Others, mix together illegal immigrants with refugees
and pretend that both should be granted the same treatment.
Professor Frendo says that official data shows that in their absolute majority, illegal immigrants do not qualify as refugees according to the Convention of the United Nations Organization for refugees, the UNHCR.
He says that at least three quarters of illegal immigrants are not, as he calls them, “mission children” that need pity, but have to be considered as “economic migrants” or “political instability migrants”.
Few
only are ‘bona fide’ refugees.
The
granting of humanitarian protection
All illegal immigrants in our country are being granted some form of humanitarian protection.
This, according to Frendo, has strong implications on our people in the long run, because
* the immigrants are being allowed to remain in Malta,
* are being given free accomodation and food,
* pocket money, and
*
allowed to work legally or illegally.
Professor Frendo asks if it is right that
* illegal immigrants are allowed to work,
* conduct marriages of convenience with Maltese women,
* become pick pocketers,
* engage in prostitution and
* in drug trafficking, and
*
even those with a criminal past are not sent back to their countries.
The
Dublin Disgrace
In a part of his article under the title “Dublin Disgrace”, Professor Frendo harshly criticizes the Dublin Convention and the fact that Malta signed it prior to becoming a member in the European Union.
This Convention states that the country where the illegal immigrants first land has to shoulder their responsibility for an indefinite time.
He
stated that the Convention should either be scrapped or greatly amended, and if
this is not done, the Maltese people have to face the two stark choices we have
already mentioned, that is, that they will either cease to exist as a nation or
to leave the European Union.
The writer explains that the Maltese people cannot continue to exist as a nation because of the mix that they will suffer, which the writer calls mix-and-match.
He
comments that we will lose our nationality which was carefully moulded and for
which we have fought at great length.
But
Professor Frendo continues to say that if the Maltese people do not want to lose
their nationality they have a choice that they either leave the European Union
so as to be free from the shackles that bind them hands and feet, or, to remain
in the union, to have opt-outs, that is, they would have the right not to be
bound by the Union regulations, according to the particular circumstances of the
country.
Professor
Frendo ends his article by remarking that it depends upon us whether we remain a
Democratic Nation State notwithstanding all the currents that we have against
us.
A
condemnation for the EU
Two days after Professor Frendo’s criticism on illegal immigration in our country, there appeared in a daily newspaper, in English, a strong letter on the same subject by Mr Jimmy Magro, ex-General Secretary of the Labour Party.
He started his letter by telling the European Parliament Member,
Ignasi Guardans, that he was not correct when he said that the Maltese people
were not left alone on the question of illegal immigration.
Jimmy Magro told Ignasi Guardans that Malta was left alone and that on this the European Union should be ashamed with what was happening in the middle of the Mediterranean (with hundreds of immigrants drowning).
Magro
continued to write that the Maltese are spinning jokes about the millions of
Euros spent on air tickets, meeting in luxurious offices, on interpreters, on
documents, reports and similar things, which should have been better used in
establishing an emergency fleet to subdue illegal immigration in the
Mediterranean.
The
writer stated that for many Maltese people, the European Union is like a local
band club where people meet to discuss without ever coming to a credible and
sustainable conclusion.
The
truth is not being said
Magro reminded readers that Ministers were reported to have said that a solution had been found in that Frontex was going to save Malta from the tragic situation that it is in.
But it has also been reported that Frontex is stating that it is the national Governments that have the responsibility to safeguard their country’s frontiers.
What is the truth, asks Magro?
The people want to know the truth.
And the people understand that the European Union should take this serious illegal immigration crisis in its hands.
The Union should apply emergency measures as it does in serious events that require urgent measures.
The Union ought to be a dynamic organisation that could act within 24
hours in a very grave situation such as being faced by Malta with illegal
immigration.
Here Jimmy Magro warns that no one should accuse Malta with xenophobia (race hatred) because it does not want to see this illegal trafficking of human beings that is being made by the illegal immigrants.
Because the entry of 1,000 illegal immmigrants each
year is immensely great for our country that does not have the space and
resources to absorb them.
What
should be done
The ex-General Secretary of the Labour Party appealed to the Prime Minister to strongly state that Malta is right, because it cannot continue in its present crisis.
It clearly appears, continues Jimmy Magro, that diplomacy did not lead to a solution.
No one knows what measures are being taken against those who are
organizing this business of illegal immigration.
Magro went on to say that the Prime Minister, if he is constrained, should use the veto in those European Union decisions that have to be taken with unanimity.
The Prime Minister ought to show greater strength during Union summits.
We should not appear as fools in the Union.
We
ought to show that we are like other member countries and that we have to be
respected where there is a question of national interest, as there is on the
question of illegal immigration.
Mr Magro and Professor Frendo’s harsh criticism on illegal immigration in our
country is coming from the left and the right of the political spectrum.
This shows that this problem is worrying every sector of the people and that there is no time to be lost in meetings and talks.
The
European Union has failed when it needed to prove itself, because instead of
helping us, it is keeping us from doing that which is right in our national
interest.
We have long been saying this.
Now those who did not agree with us are today seeing the trouble that we have entered into because of membership in the European Union.
We have only one way.
To undo our ties by leaving the Union.
Or else we drown in the immigrants deluge.
The
fines are paid by us!
by
Eddy Privitera
You find people who say, “It's fitting for the Government. Who told it to enter into the European Union?”
He would be referring to the fines which the European has already imposed on the Maltese Government.
And
more and bigger fines it is threatening the Government with if it doesn’t do
exactly what the Union orders it.
When I hear someone saying this, I tell him:
“My
friend, I absolutely do not agree with you. I will not be happy that the
European Union imposes fines on the Maltese Government, whoever is in
Government. Because those fines will be paid by you and me with our taxes.”
It is a fact that the more the expenses increase for the Government, and the fines are another expenditure that we obtain nothing from – the more the Government will see from where it will find the money to meet the greater expense that it will have.
And
the easier method is to increase taxes, tariffs, contributions, or call them
what you like, but they all mean the same thing – that you have to fork out
more money from your pocket to give it to the government.
Apart from the fact that the fines mean a chance for more taxes, even the
thought that these fines are being imposed by a foreign Court of the European
Union, after the Commission takes the Maltese Government before the Court, fills
me with rage.
Even when we were a British colony I can never ever remember that a Maltese Government was ever ordered to pay a fine by the UK.
And
today, when we are make-believe independent, we are having to suffer the
humiliation of seeing the Maltese Government being condemned and ordered to pay
fines by foreigners because it did not comply strictly to the letter with some
European Union regulation or directive.
You really have to have no Maltese blood running in your veins to find pleasure
in seeing the Maltese Government being humiliated in this manner.
But
the price will have to be paid by the Maltese citizens who are innocent!
Therefore one should not be happy when he hears about such fines, but should
condemn those who have caused us all this trouble simply to be able to “sit
around the table with other European Government leaders” and thus feel that
they became more important.
