Interior Minster Friedrich: An import America needs!
Last Thursday a ship carrying mainly African aspiring illegal immigrants sank off the Italian island of Lampedusa and several hundred apparently drowned. The response has been a barrage of tear-jerking intended to stampede European countries into making entry by alleged refugees easier.
