Offshore migrant camps are the name of the game.
For years, in Europe, suggesting that unchecked mass migration was a bad thing was considered ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’.
But those days are far from over, and even the most liberal of countries have now begun implementing policies to deal at least minimally with the invasion.
Italy under Giorgia Meloni has the ‘Albania plan’; Britain under Rishi Sunak had the ‘Rwanda plan’, in both cases, camps were built to receive failed ‘asylum seekers’ (a.k.a. economic migrants) outside the European Union, as a way to start dealing with the migrant invasion.
Both in Italy and the UK, the deportations to the camps were stopped by activist judges, on the grounds that the plans were illegal in the face of the ‘European Convention on Human Rights’.
Now, a group of European governments is demanding permission to run offshore migrant camps, in a push to reform the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

The Telegraph reported:
“Council of Europe member states, including Britain, have expressed frustrations over deportations being stopped on human rights grounds.
In a political declaration, they said: ‘It is important that states, including those that are exposed to mass arrivals, can pursue new approaches to address and potentially deter irregular migration’.
These approaches included return deals with other countries, offshore processing of asylum claims in another country and third-country ‘return hubs’ for failed asylum seekers.”
‘This is a way for governments to pretend they are doing something.’

“It comes after Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, and Mette Frederiksen, her Danish counterpart, spearheaded a push for reforms to the ECHR, which they argued was no longer fit for purpose to fight people smuggling and modern illegal migration.
Ms. Meloni’s plans to process migrants in non-EU Albania has been fraught with legal difficulties, while Ms. Frederiksen has shelved a migrant deal with Rwanda until legal hurdles can be resolved.”
