Typical. A rich-kid investor from Lake Charles, Louisiana thinks he can save the world by ferrying migrants from Africa to Europe. Check out his web page, any one of them will do. The guy seems to be a one-man stroke job.
The simple fact is, John, that Europe can’t take Africa’s displaced. There are too many and their migration doesn’t end on Europe’s southern shores. They head for Germany and Britain. If he’s determined to rescue them, why won’t he just return them, safe and sound, to the African ports from whence they left?
Maybe Mr. Catrambone can buy an even bigger boat and ferry them to Lake Charles. I’m not sure he’d be keen on that idea.
The geopolitical issue is intense, but I’m in favour of people fishing literally drowning people out of water.
