new poll: 69% of French support naval blockade to stop illegal aliens | Eastern NC Now

A new poll by the respected French pollster CSA Institute for the French TV news channel CNews has found that 69% of French voters support imposing a naval blockade in the Mediteranian Sea to prevent illegal alien boats from reaching Europe.  Women support a naval blockade by a slightly higher percentage than men. The concept of the blockade was favored by a majority in all age groups.

A joint naval blockade by European countries in the Mediterranian to stop illegal alien boats was recently proposed by Italian Prime Minister Meloni.

Australia successfully imposed a military led effort to stop human smuggling boats full of illegal aliens under former conservative Prime Minister Tony Abbott.  Using military satellite capability, Operation Sovereign Borders, led by an army general, identified inbound migrant smugglilng boats and dispatched military, border force, and coast guard vessels to intercept them and forcibly turn them around back to where they came from.  If the boat was not capable of returning, its passengers were transferred to a camp on the island of New Guinea, from which they could seek to legally enter Australia or seek passage back home.  Operation Sovereign Borders cut Australia's intake of illegal aliens to almost zero.
