EUROPE’S MIGRANT GRAVEYARD – ANALYSIS

[Sally]

It's sad when you see how desperate people are to leave the country of their origin in an attempt to settle someplace else. We saw what happened to the Haitians and Cubans when they tried to come in boats that weren't seaworthy, and now we see it happening again in another part of the world.

Oh lord. You should really try to avoid marxist jingoism. If you're referring to LEGAL IMMIGRATION, then say LEGAL IMMIGRATION, and if you're referring to ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, then say ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. All these syntactical back flips the left spoon feeds useful idiots like yourself, will only make you crazier in the long run.
