From Voice Of Europe, refugees visit their "dangerous homelands", often at taxpayer expense.  (This raises an interesting question.  If their homelands were so dangerous that they had to leave, how are they now safe enough to visit?  To what extent have the conditions changed?  If you read Flemish, read the story at HLN.)

From Breitbart London, the Libyan Coast Guard takes 611 migrants back to Libya.  (If you read Italian, read the story at Il Giornale.)

Wednesday Whatnot

Today, I'd like to begin with a quote appearing in an article in National Review.
In the West's current debate around immigration, for example, it's not wrong to insist that national borders matter; whether you're a citizen or not is going to matter to a government, that laws need to be followed; that in the public realm newcomers should make an effort to adapt to the language and customs of their new home.
This passage comes from a recent speech by none other than former President Barrack Obama.  The article's author then asks,
How different would the Obama era look if he had emphasized that message at every opportunity? [emphasis in original]
I would add that nowadays, when right-wingers say the same things, we're sometimes accused of racism and xenophobia, and even likened to "nazis".  Why then, are these considerations legitimate when coming out of the mouth of an obvious left-winger?  Read the article at the NR link above.
