That makes it what, 7 Syrians in the last 5 days as well as the 2 men from Mali with the false residence permits.

What does that say about the statement the government has made:

”Some 30 people came to Malta in this way since the beginning of the year and they were currently being traced along with people in Malta involved in the activity, the government said.”

The government must be getting its information from a very, very reliable source. That must be why it is shooting down the Opposition’s concerns.

But as long as people clap…

Malta under Labour: always in the news for the wrong reasons.

And one must ask, what is really going on? If this is not something more sinister, is there such a huge under the table payment racket that we are attracting all and sundry from far and wide?

Who is offering illegal employment?

They were trying to get to Syria.

As for Commonwealth summits and threats to Malta, can we stop fantasising, please?

With all due respect to the author of the article, it was also a tendency to equate anyone trying to enter to refugees and denigrating anyone concerned at the possibility of such rackets, that increased the risks.

When Malta is the only place with a consul for Daesh, that’s Tripoli, a minimum of decency matters.

And how timely this report.

Much good that would do.

Take a look at our Parliament in action, now also on TV. Most educational.

“I don’t think Syrians want to come to Malta unless it’s to pass through to mainland Europe”

They were in mainland Europe already. Italy is mainland Europe. By coming to Malta, they are LEAVING mainland Europe.
