Here’s another idiot who swallows all the venomous propaganda of the far-right.

People who enter a country illegally without the intention of applying for asylum are illegal immigrants.

People who flee their country with the intention of applying for asylum (with or without documents) are perfectly legal asylum seekers and do not break any national laws.

Learn the difference.

PBS has become the State TV, hiding things and sugaring up government’s bad decisions.

Can we assume that, iif us civil servants disagree with some government decision, be it departmental or otherwise, we can now follow his example and ‘refuse’ to attend to our duties?

Seeking asylum is not a breach of the rights of others.

Irregular immigrants who ask for asylum and have a right to it are also acting within the law.

Ah, but Australia, Canada and the US are democratic. Malta’s Labour real beliefs are totalitarianism and predominantly communist.

I was an immigrant over 50 years ago but a perfectly legal one. So were many other Maltese who went to Canada and Australia.
