Glad to see some fresh footage of this season's illegal immigrants. Judging from the press releases sent out by the Maltese Navy, there are many more immigrants coming in this year compared to last year.

[pacemediaTV]

Thanks, yes, there seems to be a great increase in migrants coming in to Malta.

Africans will never develop their own continent, they would rather leave it a mess and migrate illegally somewhere and mess that up too. They are superstitious, have bizarre beliefs and traditions (female genital mutilation) and don't belong anywhere within sniffing distance of Europe.

gaddaffi is letting these immigrants through, on purpose so that they over run europe. malta will be the first nation to fall.

If the Europeans were given a chance they could make the whole continent of Africa the new USA. Why aren't the Africans doing anything productive with any part of it. All they seem to export is problems.

in the past malta saved europe and christianity, now without any wars and weapons malta is acting like a bridge to this people whom iam sure they are here to promote islam

[futuramark]

the problem has to be solved in lybia...the culprit behind this..they should be held accountable for all the drownings and problems and costs related to illegal migration. gaddafi should be tried in a human rights tribunal. once we get gaddafi out of the way the problem will be solved..then if europeans want african workers they can go get them themselves like they used to do when they went for slaves to work in tobacco plantations and chain them pfffff hypocrites.
