I have not misunderstood your position, Michelle. You don’t seem to understand that everyone has the right to put in a claim for asylum, even if they don’t qualify, or, to use your terminology, are “illegals”. The point is the system needs to allow them their right to apply.

About your other argument, I’m yet to hear of a migrant coming to seek asylum, even if an “illegal”, and had ‘lawyer’ at the top of their list of priorities. Somehow I feel ‘food’, ‘home’, ‘work’, ‘family’ and ‘resettlement’ would have ranked slightly higher.

That’s not because they don’t need it, but because they can’t afford it. Far from a money-making opportunity. Most people know that, especially the lawyers you mention.

Get a life, Albert Fenech.

I see that Daphne is hitting where it hurts most, and your only form of defence is attack a la Labour.

Can’t keep up a decent argument, can you?

The way you formulated your comment shows how intellectual you are. And while you invited us to grow a pair, my invitation to you is to get a proper education.

F*ck off, Albert Fenech. Go back to those scum at Imperium Europa and the PL.

I think you misunderstand my position. I do not consider those that are fleeing and don’t qualify, as illegals In fact I feel sorry for those because I believe they should be granted asylum. What I hate is those that have money that deliberatly destroy their documents and pay their way onto boats and make genuine asylum seekers get sent back because rules get harder…

90% of those to turned up a few years ago in Australia fitted into the category above, and consequently many genuine asylum seekers where likely sent back because of the fakes.

The other thing I hate is people making money off the less fortunate (well actually I hate anyone that rips someone else off, but particularly those that prey on the less fortunate).. and my experience is lawyers are in it for themselves, and their putting their names to this complaint is a repeat of Australia 5 years ago when the lawyers were not concerned with Human Rights or genuine Asylum seekers, they were just looking to line their pockets. This particular case stinks of the same, and based on the general hatred of any boat people, the comments and protests I see I have to attribute to people thinking of themselves not the people that are fleeing for their lives with only the clothes on their backs… I’ll be happy if people prove me wrong, but words alone will not cut it with me, I’ve see it all before….

Dear Daphne, pronouncing on the ability or otherwise of a person’s writing capability depends on personal perception i.e. the eye of the beholder. The tendency is to judge others by one’s standards. Yours are abominably low because you specialise in gutter thrash and muck-raking. You tend to judge the standards of others by your own. Why not write to Rupert Murdoch and ask him to revive “The News of the World” and appoint you as chief correspondent?

[Daphne – Mr Fenech, you can’t write. And this derives from the fact that you can’t think rationally. Live with it.]

[Daphne – No, of course not. EU member states can’t go about issuing passports to all-comers, because it affects everyone else. And that’s tantamount to selling your passports anyway.]

Call yourself a Europid? You don’t even know basic Latin.

Domina is a lady, as in the female of ‘lord’. If there’s one woman in Malta who deserves the title, it’s Daphne Caruana Galizia.

I think he had a roadmap for a labyrinth with no destination. And right now they (we) are circling somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Michelle, not all who apply may qualify for protection but seeking asylum is never illegal. It’s one of our fundamental human rights.

And more importantly, it’s not our documents that make us people.

It’s sad that you, and so many others, have to overcomplicate something that’s so simple.

Hitler too had the numbers in his favour. Did that make what he did any better?
