114 African migrants die when crowded ship capsizes off Italy

[flamer84]

" The rickety fishing boat was the third of the night to head toward the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, overloaded with African migrants seeking a better life in Europe. Most never reached shore.

It was one of the deadliest accidents in the perilous crossing thousands make each year, seeking a new life in the prosperous European Union. Smugglers charge thousands of dollars a head for the journey aboard overcrowded, barely seaworthy boats that lack life vests.

Lampedusa, 70 miles (113 kilometers) off Tunisia and closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, has been at the center of wave after wave of illegal immigration."

Dude don't be mean,you're probaly right that they probably didn't bring anything good to Europe but still,they died a horrible death...drowned,children to,horrible way to go.This immigration problem is taking the humanity out of us,i was reading the comments ,most were something like :

"The sea did what the italian navy should have done:sunk that ship"
"to bad we don't have a sea between the US and Mexico"
"Good ridance"
"Thanks Poseidon!"...etc.

It's bad when we come to rejoice the death of women and children,we're loosing it,it's the fault of the politicians who allow this problem to fester.

Not rejoicing anyone's death. Comments of the article are colorful indeed, but at the same time they reflect the pragmatic reality.

And some Immigrants either take education in the west to settle there and others bust their rear with degrees , certifications and experiences to get there .

These "immigrants" sure know the easier and quicker way

Tragic. One can only imagine the level of desperation that would drive someone to such measures. We should all consider ourselves privileged, let alone sit in judgement of people less fortunate than us.
