Italy approves naval blockade to stop illegal alien migrant boats | Eastern NC Now

Italy's government is turning to its military to stop the invasion of the country by hordes of illegal alien migrants.  Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced that her cabinet has approved using Italy's navy to set up a blockade to stop boats carrying illegal alien migrants at sea and turn them around.  The European Union has finally relented on allowing its member countries to take firmer action to stop the flow of illegal aliens, and Italy's conservative coalition government is taking advantage of that opportunity.

Prime Minister Meloni's government has already been speeding up and increasing the deportation of failed "asylum seekers" back to their home countries.

Some years ago under former conservative Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Australia used its a similar program to stop illegal alien smuggling boats on the high seats and turn them around back to where they came from   The highly successful program, led by an army general, was called Operation Sovereign Borders and used surveillance assets to  find the boats before they arrived on Australia's shores and then send armed navy or coast guard vessels to turn them around at gunpoint.
