More comments on the seaworthiness of boats:

"It is sometimes suggested that migrant vessels heading from Africa to Europe are so unseaworthy, overloaded and in such bad shape, that they are unlikely to make it to the destination. It is thus suggested that the rules of maritime rescue do not apply. I can see no legal basis for this argument. Most likely, the majority of ships in the need of a rescue have ended up in this situation because they are unseaworthy, and it would be quite harsh that passengers should pay with their lives for not having ensured the seaworthiness of the vessel. On land, persons in danger are assisted if they have driven too fast, been the passenger of a car driven by a drunk driver, had thoughts of suicide, or caused themselves illness through bad lifestyle choices."

Apples and oranges.
Getting on a unseaworthy boat is rather reckless you not think. If it comes with a custodial sentence and having a problem gaining insurance in the future then it at least evens things up a bit with a drunken driver.
 
Let's hope you don't get stabbed by an illegal immigrant.
So let's CONTROL who we let in.

Ideas how to do that ? Mine is process them (which we should have been doing years ago with more staff).

What's your idea?
