Cruise ships are aiding and abetting the Great Replacement because maritime law requires it. Or so we are told. At least three vessels have rescued boatloads of illegal aliens who attempted a beach landing in the United States.
“Crews aboard two Carnival and Celebrity cruise ships rescued about two dozen migrants drifting at sea in small boats off the coast of Florida just days after hundreds of other migrants arrived at boat landings in the Florida Keys,” says a report from Fox News [Carnival, Celebrity cruise crews rescue dozens of migrants drifting in small boats off Florida, videos show, by Stephen Sorace, January 4, 2023].

“Videos posted to social media show crew members aboard the Celebrity Beyond and Carnival Celebration cruise ships spot people in distress aboard small vessels in two separate instances on Monday,” the report continued:
The Celebrity Beyond rescued 19 migrants from a crowded boat. Capt. Kate McCue said in a video she posted to social media that she turned the ship around after her chief officer noticed a glimmer on the horizon. The glimmer turned out to be the migrants.
After the migrants were aboard the ship, crew members provided them with blankets, a change of clothes, food, and a medical evaluation, McCue said. The U.S. Coast Guard was also contacted.
A Carnival Celebration ship hauled in five illegals 29 miles northwest of Cuba. The Coast Guard took them into custody.
Migrants are flooding into the Florida Keys, too:
The rescues marked the latest episode in a wave of migrant landings in the Florida Keys in the past several days that the local sheriff’s office has called a “crisis.”
Over the weekend, 300 migrants arrived at Dry Tortugas National Park, located west of Key West, the National Park Service said. On Sunday, park officials said the park has seen an increase in people arriving from Cuba, prompting its closure for the next several days.
Separately, 160 migrants arrived by boats in other parts of the Florida Keys over New Year’s weekend, and on Monday around 30 people in two new groups of migrants were found in the Middle Keys.

Meanwhile, investigative reporter Angela Van Der Pluym provided video of the illegals her Virgin Voyages liner “rescued.”
“While on my Virgin Voyages cruise, we were forced to stop and pick up random refugees because of ‘maritime law,’” she tweeted:
So, now they will enjoy a free cruise to the Bahamas and back to good ol’ Florida. Aka America.

Newswars pinned down the maritime law that illegals are using to invade:
“Maritime law states that mariners are required to help distressed boaters at sea, according to the International Maritime Organization,” the website reported:
"The IMO explicitly states this requirement in its International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea: ‘A master of a ship at sea, which is in a position to be able to provide assistance on receiving a signal from any source that persons are in distress at sea, is bound to proceed with all speed to their assistance,’” according to SeaLaw.com.

So maritime law — we can’t let them drown at sea! — will be another excuse to import the penniless vagabonds the Biden Regime is using to dispossess and replace the Historic American Nation.
