Matteo Salvini: Is he a hero or a villain?

Matteo Salvini, leader of Italy's right-wing League party who opposes illegal immigration into Italy and the EU, is an Italian politician who served as Deputy Prime Minister of Italy and Interior Minister from 1 June 2018 to 5 September 2019. Last month, he has been ordered by a judge in Palermo to stand trial on charges of migrant kidnapping over his decision to prevent 147 migrants to dock in a Sicilian port in 2019 and keeping them at sea for 19 days. The trial date has been set on 15 September 2021 and if found guilty he could face up to 15 years in prison. According to Salvini, every Italian has a sacred duty to defend the country and he was only doing his duty. He also said that his anti-immigration policy was intended to discourage illegals smuggling across the Mediterranean and therefore helped to save lives. During his 14 months as interior minister, Salvini was known as the hero of Europe who prevented migrant boats from landing in Italy in order to stop the large influx of migrants. In a separate case, he stopped 116 Sudanese migrants aboard the Gregoretti ship from disembarking for six days but according to Italian Prosecutor, Andrea Bonomo, that incident "does not amount to kidnapping." If there is no kidnapping in the Gregoretti migrant case, why does he have to stand trial for the Palermo case when these two cases are very similar to each other? Is it a crime to protect the country's borders? How could he kidnap migrants on the rescue ship when they were free to leave?  

Before I proceed any further, I would like to share what happened to Malaysia on 16 April 2020 because this incident can teach the EU how to solve its migrant crisis. On that day, Malaysia turned away a boat carrying about 200 Rohingya refugees from entering its waters. As expected, the Malaysian Government has been criticized for using the pandemic as an excuse to turn away the Rohingyas. But, never mind what people say as long as we are doing the right thing to protect our country and citizens. For years, the Rohingyas have been entering Malaysia illegally with the help of a syndicate of people smugglers in violation of the country's immigration law. These illegal journeys are not cheap as each of them has to pay RM15,000 to the smugglers to sail to Malaysia. It seems that the Rohingyas are so desperate to come to Malaysia that they could wait for months at the Andaman Sea looking out for an opportunity to enter Malaysia waters and once they get there, they would intentionally damage their boat beyond repair so that they could not be deported. Thus we can see that the people smugglers are really doing a good job and that is why they really deserve to make big bucks. As of July 2020, there are 177,920 Rohingya refugees registered with UNHCR in Malaysia and it is estimated that the undocumented Rohingyas in this country are twice this number. Given the large population of Rohingyas already in Malaysia, I dare not imagine what will happen if more were to come. The good news is - since we turned away their boats last year, they have stopped sailing to Malaysia. The last boat arrrived in Langkawi on 8 June 2020 with 260 Rohingyas and that was nearly a year ago. Rohingya boats that could not find their way into Malaysia waters after waiting for months at sea finally ended up in Indonesia. Even though the Rohingyas tried to smuggle themselves into Malaysia from Indonesia, the tightening of border control in Malaysia has made it almost impossible for them to enter the country. Knowing how difficult it is to get into Malaysia, it seems that the Rohingyas have given up coming to Malaysia. Well done, Malaysia! Let's keep up the good work. Malaysians do not want the entire Cox's Bazar and the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) to move here. Taking in the Rohingyas is no joke with an average of 10 children per family. It is also not uncommon to see Rohingya women in Malaysia giving birth twice a year. Since August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingyas fled Myanmar and crossed the border into Bangladesh. Three years later, more than 100,000 Rohingya babies have been born in Bangladesh's refugee camp, namely, Cox's Bazar. Given their stateless and uncertain future, they can still afford to make so many babies! That is why we cannot afford to take in anymore Rohingyas.

What is the moral of the Rohingya Story above? What can the EU learn from this story? The European migrant crisis is not a hopeless situation after all because it can easily be solved by turning away the migrant boats. That was exactly what Matteo Salvini did when he was the Interior Minister of Italy. By closing ports to migrants, he was sending them the message that they were not welcome and they would not risk taking the perilous journeys anymore if they were denied entry into the country after several attempts. If Salvini could just prevent boats and rescue ships from bringing migrants to Italy for a few weeks, they would certainly stop targeting Italy and go elsewhere. Migrants are smart people and they can easily smuggle themselves to the US because Biden welcomes them so there is no need to worry about them. Since Lampedusa is Italy's gateway to Europe, stopping the influx of migrants to this Italian island would also mean that Europe is safe from them. However, the contrary is true if there are coaches waiting for them to take them to four-star hotels where they are given free meals, pocket money and later free housing, welfare benefits and other generous benefits and most of all, European citizenship. Since 2015, millions of migrants have entered Europe and thousands are still making the journey every day. With another 70,000 migrants in Libya preparing to travel to Italy at the moment, Europe is in very serious danger. Those who love Europe can never forget Matteo Salvini's anti-immigration policies and they are still hoping that he would demand the ports to be closed to migrants and smugglers. 

Is turning away migrant boats the right thing to do? It is not only the right thing to do but also the best thing to do in order to stop people smuggling and prevent migrant deaths at sea. People smuggling, particularly migrant smuggling, is a criminal conduct and should not be encouraged in any way. Sad to say, as the people smugglers are making billions of dollars each year out of their highly profitable illegal business, the EU is turning into breeding grounds for criminals and crime. Therefore, those who are encouraging illegal border crossings is not only encouraging people smugglers to carry out their illegal business but also contributing to the EU crime trends. Since people smugglers often disregard the safety of migrants and provide them with ill-equipped, unseaworthy and overcrowded boats, their lack of business ethics greatly endangers the lives of their customers. According to Matthew Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Fortify Rights, "Sending an ill-equipped ship of refugees out to sea is unlawful and a death sentence." Who are those sending the ill-equipped ship of refugees out to sea? The people smugglers. But each time migrants die at sea while trying to reach European shores, Europe is criticized for their deaths. Why put the blame on Europe? Europe has never invited them to come to the region. Another question is - who are those giving the green light to people smugglers to proceed with their illegal and unethical business? Needless to say, the people smugglers and all those who encourage illegal immigration are the ones who have contributed largely toward migrant deaths at sea. Just imagine how many lives could be saved by stopping illegal border crossers. When Salvini was Italy's Interior Minister, his hard-line policies had not only successfully deterred migrants and smugglers from making the perilous journeys but also significantly reduced the number of migrant deaths at sea.

The definition of a refugee as someone who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, natural disaster, political oppression or religious persecution does not seem to apply in today's world. Why are millions of young, strong men from North Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Middle East smuggling themselves into Europe every year? How many countries are currently at war? Looks more like they are looking for fun in Europe - the free "holiday rape & stab package" that comes with lots of generous benefits offered by Europe is really irresistible. Who are our modern day refugees? As what the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, says:

You look at the migration, it's young, strong men. There are so few women and there are so few children. We're taking in people we have no idea who they are. They have no identification. They have no papers. They're making up papers. This could be the great Trojan horse of all time. 

Donald Trump is a man of great wisdom who speaks the truth. Who are these young men and what is their motive? Have you watched videos of young aggressive men with smart hircuts singing happily in a boat and brandishing a knife while on their way to Europe? What are they going to do with the knife in Europe? Have you seen these young aggressive men making an obscene gesture of contempt by pointing their middle finger upward? This obscene hand gesture is equivalent in meaning to "f**k you" and probably helps to explain why there are so many migrant rapes in Europe. Do you know that these young aggressive men have the habit of burning the camps and army barracks where they live free-of-charge just because they want to be transferred to four-star hotels? And do you know that migrants at a Glasgow hotel started stabbing and wounded multiple people including a police officer just because they were unhappy with the limited wifi and the quality of food? Has it ever occurred to you that these aggressive males are going on a crime spree, raping spree and stabbing spree in Europe? These are our modern day refugees. It's really scary to watch videos about these aggressive young men racing through the heart of Europe like an army with their hooligan behavior. What would happen to the EU countries that are overpopulated with them? How is the EU going to accommodate all of them and cope with so many of them? Does Europe have to take in everyone who crosses its borders and provide them with free housing, welfare payments and other generous benefits? Thousands are crossing the European borders each day and it looks like this migrant exodus would never end until Europe is packed with them. Since the European migrants come from countries most affected by overpopulation, it won't take long before Europe has to deal with population explosion. When that day comes, can Europe still afford to support the minorities that have become the majority? Can migrants still enjoy the free housing, welfare benefits, health benefits and other generous benefits that they are enjoying now? Given the fact that the whites have a negative population growth rate, would the taxes they pay enough to support migrants? As migrants are already busy stabbing and raping now, would there be more stabbings and rapes if they have overpopulated Europe? Would the whites accept their raping and stabbing culture and kowtow to them or migrate to the V4 countries? 

Following the European migrant crisis in 2015, many European women have been brutally raped by sexual predators from third world countries and their lives would never be the same again. Please click here to read more about the rape tactics of European rapefugees. As you go through these rape cases one by one, you will find that the European rapefugees are really aggressive as they would not only seriously injure their victims but also rape them until their genitals burst. Their victims may even be killed during the rape because of the horrific manner in which the rapes are being carried out. Needless to say, rape is certainly more enjoyable than marital sex because they cannot have extreme rough sex with their wives and cause them serious injuries every day. However, they can treat their rape victims like 'rag dolls' and laugh when they cry out in pain. If they happen to kill their victims, they can just throw the mutilated bodies somewhere. Increased immigration also boosts knife crimes as migrants are extremely skilful with a knife and their knife attacks are often fatal. Whenever they are going on a stabbing spree, they would simply stab anyone they could find so let's keep alert at all times. Because of their aggressive and violent behavior, Europe is no longer as safe as it used to be. Since I have written a detailed article about migrants and their heinous crimes in Europe I would not reiterate here. You can click here to read this article. As I am writing this article, I couldn't help weeping for Europe. Looking at the wave of migrants crime cases across Europe, one cannot deny the fact that what Europe really needs now are patriots and leaders (such as Viktor Orban, Dominik Tarczynski and Marine Le Pen) who can bring an end to the European migrant crisis and restore Europe to its former glory. When Matteo Salvini was Italy's Interior Minister, he was known as Europe's Donald Trump on immigration and his war on migrants was a relief to Europe. However, these good times were over when his harsh migration rules were softened and amended by the new government. Let us pray that Lega would not remain as the controlled opposition forever. Salvini, when are you going to make Italy great again? 

According to V4 Report, Italy has become the EU's main migrant camp. More than 640,000 migrants have landed on Italian shores since 2014. Italy's gateway to Europe, Lampedusa, is struggling with migrant influx after 13,000 have landed during the first five months of this year (as of 13 May 2021). It seems that the situation would only worsen if the EU countries continue to take in illegals since this would encourage more arrivals. As what Salvini says, "Too many of them are dangerous for Italy and Europe." Like all Italian fathers, he wants his children to grow up in a safe country without rapefugees, stabbers, and no-go zones. With hundreds of migrants being transferred from Lampedusa to locations throughout Italy recently, what would be the fate of Italians? Would there be more crimes and No-Go Zones? If Italy does not want to remain a migrant camp, the best thing to do is stop migrant boats and rescue ships from docking in Italian ports and deport all those who are already there. Salvini, where are you? When are you going to be the hero of Europe again?

How do we define the word "hero"? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, a hero is a person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life. This definition reminds me of Malaysia's immigration officers, police and armed forces who are working round the clock to round up undocumented migrants and refugees. Chasing after illegals, especially in the middle of the night, is not an easy task as illegals are rough people who know how to retaliate. The immigration officers, police and armed forces are therefore our heroes - while we are sleeping soundly, they are risking their lives to protect our country from intruders. And I am proud to say that my country does not send the undocumented migrants and refugees to four-star hotels. These illegals are not given any benefits at all, not even a single cent. They would only wait to be deported at the deportation centers. Whatever the situation may be, it doesn't sound right for any country to open its doors wide to welcome intruders and treat them like VIPs. Deportation is still the best thing for illegals because too many of them is dangerous for the country. 

Given the fact that Italy has a negative population growth and 28% of its population was 65 and above (as of 2019), Salvini's fears of ethnic replacement may not be unfounded. The homes and apartments in some Italian villages have already been taken over by migrants. A foreign mafia has come to Italy and further polarized the migration debate, illicitly recruting new members among migrants. This foreign crime group is holding territory in Italy from the north in Turin to the south in Palermo and its members are smuggling drugs and trafficking women on Italy's streets. Salvini's close port approach is therefore a must because too many migrants constitute a serious threat to the country and they should be stopped and deported. Is Salvini a hero or a villain? He was the hero of Europe when he was Italy's Interior Minister. There was nothing villainous about rejecting migrant boats and the more I read about his anti-immigrant stance and draconian immigration laws, the more I respect him. Illegal entries to EU is not a fundamental right. The young, aggressive men from third world countries anticipating a "free holiday rape & stab package" in Europe do not deserve protection. Those who are in desperate need of protection are the EU citizens as they are the real victims of the migrant exodus. If given the opportunity, I am sure that Salvini would bring an end to the European migrant crisis and make all the economic migrants, illegals, rioters, drug dealers, murderers, fake refugees, overage minors, freeloaders, rapefugees, stabbers, mafias and whatnots pack their bags and be gone from Europe forever. It is not racist to deport migrants because white lives also matter - the whites have the right to a safe country. It is not hate speech to tell the truth about migrants. The media should not hide their violent crimes and stop the whole world from saying the truth. The war on migrants should start now before its too late. Stopping them is not enough - deport them and put an end to their no-go zones. Italians first - that should be the way! "I hope Draghi doesn't last long. I'm ready to govern with Matteo Salvini" - Libero Quotidiano. Perhaps Salvini should govern with Meloni to save Italy and Europe.
