Italian PM will use ‘extraordinary measures’, including a naval blockade, to deal with migrants

Some countries apparently have an understanding of the word "border"
--------------------
The surge of illegal aliens creating a state of emergency across Italy led the prime minister to promise “extraordinary measures” in response to a recent wave overtaking a small island.

Much like the United States crisis at the southern border, European nations have been wracked with their own unending waves of foreign nationals pursuing illegal avenues to gain entry. For the Italian island of Lampedusa, that amounted to more than 6,000 aliens in one 24-hour period this week, a number greater than the actual population there.

Reacting to the humanitarian crisis, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni released a video promising to take “extraordinary measures” to protect her citizens from the efforts of “unscrupulous traffickers,” including a call for a naval blockade to be employed to prevent smugglers from departing the coast of North Africa.
