Comparing an adult to a five year old is childish in my opinion but that&#039;s a matter of opinion, I might be wrong and misunderstood the concept of the comparison. 
Another issue for me is by saying &#039;Be realistic&#039; for an answer, again I must admit it did not do justice to Mr. C.Mifsud opinion on the subject. Can you kindly explain more clearly to people like me (just another idiot, another everyday man in the street), why we cannot at least try (ofcourse not rudely), to protect our tiny Island, our culture and our safety and the future of our children? Can you kindly explain more profoundly why &#039;There is no such right and it is an impossibility&#039;. 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Because Malta is 1. a member state of the European Union, and 2. a signatory of the European Convention on Human Rights (Council of Europe, not EU). So Malta has to abide by the rule of law.]&lt;/strong&gt;

I thank you in advance for your time and maybe a more clarified reply to Mr.C,Mifsud and all the readers of your Galizia&#039;s Notebook.

If it makes any difference, for these last 30 years I been a PN supporter. This isn&#039;t a matter of political opinion, this is a matter of our Island&#039;s welfare.

N.B. Maybe I&#039;m wrong again as always but if I remember well, we should never put a coma in the midst of a sentence in front of the word &#039;and&#039;, then again maybe being one of the idiotic and ignorant I might be mistaken. If that is the case, my sincere apology for pointing this out.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I&#039;m sorry, but people like you are insufferable in more ways than one. If you weren&#039;t already here, I would find a pressing need to protect our country from your sort. We&#039;re not sinking under the weight of immigrants, but under the weight of wilful stupidity. Try some self-awareness for a change. Self-examination. Meditation. Introspection. Put yourself under a magnifying glass and ask yourself: is this really the best I can do?]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Dear Edward,

As much as I agree that there shouldn&#039;t be insult and rude words when one voice his feelings on the other hand I disagree with anyone who thinks that having these illegal immigrants coming by the hundreds each week is no big deal!! It has nothing to do with racism, Myself I have always gave a small donation to other countries poorer than ours and always gave small donations to the children that are suffering especially in Africa and always left me heart broken to see them in that state. It is not a matter of black or white or religion. The reality is that slowly but surely we are heading into a multi culture problem that will eventually effect our economic because the more we have of these illegal immigrants the more we have trouble and crimes and that will start to label our Island as not save for tourism!! Then what?? That is our main income provider!! Lets all be realistic about this situation...we are heading towards a total disaster and who has children have to think about them and their future!! Already in some areas due to habitants the like of these illegal immigrants the property value is dropping significantly!! What will you say if you had a property that you thought is valued at a certain amount and because of these illegal immigrants you find that a big lump of that valued has been cut!! I am sure you will start to think differently about the whole situation. What shall we say for when these illegal immigrants raped a tourist (Italian), what if this poor girl that thought she was going to have the holiday of her life when she visited Our Island and ended in a trauma by being ganged raped by these illegal immigrants, what if she was one of our relatives?? Will we still say it is OK to have them live with us and share the same building that our children do?? Did you know that in one of the sites provided to these illegal immigrants by our authorities and with the tax-payer money (us, you, me and all the rest of us), they wrote &#039;DO NOT THROW AWAY THE BOATS WE CAME WITH...YOU WILL NEED THEM WHEN YOU WILL HAVE TO LEAVE YOURSELVES&#039; !!! If for the likes of you this is no problem...than you are right by not accepting the out cry of the Maltese (and believe me, it is around 85%) that they want the illegal immigrants to stop invading our Island. Those of us who thinks that having illegal immigrants coming without the authority not knowing who these people are, what they were before they escaped from their countries and invading our homes / culture / safety / and future in NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT...I have to admit and say, either they are ignorance of what is happening all over the World or they are egoists and only think about themselves and not our children and their FUTURE.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Dear God, the people we have to share this island with...And they think they&#039;re better than any &#039;African&#039; purely on the basis of their skin colour.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

@ Jozef

We shouldn&#039;t be forced to &#039;manage&#039; this situation with or without EU funds and nobody is blaming anybody for Malta&#039;s geography, what we are doing is blaming the unelected bleeding hearts for forcing us to keep illegal immigrants in Malta after rescuing them.

You need to realise that 90% of the population do NOT want them here and do NOT want to integrate with them just as much as the immigrants themselves do not want to integrate with us.

Multiculturalism generally as failed across the world. Why some people see this. Even world leaders like Sarkozy have said so. We need to learn from the mistakes of others and not emulate them. 

We don&#039;t want to find ourselves in the same situation that other countries like Sweden have found themselves in. Immigrants protesting and demanding more and more rights. Rapes and violent crimes on the increase.

True we are not in a state of emergency as some people say but we are heading that way unless something is done.]]></description>

I really have no idea how you propose to manage WITHOUT those funds. 

Imagine if Labour had their way in 2003. I mean, blaming the EU for Malta&#039;s geography has to take the biscuit. 

Egypt&#039;s about to erupt, Syrians pointing towards Ragusa and Lebanon&#039;s down, do you even believe this will ever stop?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Without having to be so rude with his choice of words he has a point. We don&#039;t want EU funds to keep and integrate illegal immigrants. What we want is the right to protect protect our borders without any interference.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - There is no such right, and it is an impossibility, so you might as well be a five-year-old girl girl in St Julian&#039;s, badgering her parents because she wants to be a princess and live in a castle. Be realistic. You&#039;re a grown man.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
