As a transit and destination country, Greece has had its fair share of problems, stemming from illegal Muslim migrants coming across its borders. This time, they came from Syria, Egypt, Sudan and Bangladesh.
Last month, a Greek border guard was shot while patrolling the border with Turkey. Greek authorities stated that “a migrant smuggler may have opened fire on the border guards to allow illegal migrants to cross into the country.” Now these smugglers are seeking out new routes.
People smugglers who abet mass migration for their own profit should be arrested and made an example of.
“Greek authorities detain migrants on Crete as smugglers seek new routes,” Associated Press, August 20, 2024:
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Authorities on the southern Greek island of Crete detained 76 migrants early Tuesday after they arrived on three boats, as smugglers seek new routes in the region to evade coast guard patrols.
The migrants from Syria, Egypt, Sudan and Bangladesh included six children and arrived before dawn on the tiny island of Gavdos, near Crete’s southern coast, local officials said. Usually, such migrants are detained for identification and processing, after which they can apply for asylum while waiting in refugee camps, with cases accessed on an individual basis.
Smugglers typically target Greek islands close to Turkey’s coastline, but in recent months they have increasingly chosen longer routes to Crete and islands in the central Aegean Sea, where coast guard patrols are more relaxed.
The Greek government is considering setting up state-funded processing centers on Crete to assist local authorities. Currently, migrants are housed in sports facilities, disused buildings, and schools during the summer months.
The Aegean route remains active, and on Tuesday Greece’s coast guard said it had picked up a total 70 people over the past 24 hours in three separate incidents off the country’s eastern islands. All made the short crossing from Turkey in small boats. They were taken to migrant reception centers on Samos, Leros and Chios.….

Do these Greeks not know what happened to their own people 100-114 years ago at the hands of the Turks?
Do they not listen to what Erdogan says?
They are INVADERS, not immigrants.
Keep them out. Deport illegals.

DNA tests conducted in recent years point to the likely outcome of this new INVASION. Most of the Turks living along the coast of the Mediterranean are Greeks according to their DNA. Those lands were invaded by Muslims and over time the locals changed their Languages ans Religion.
.
They no longer identify as being Greek, but DNA tests do not lie.
.
Cyprus is also being targeted. A few weeks ago ERGODAN said he was considering building a NAVAL BASE on the Norther coast of CYPRUS. Note how far that is from the Southern coast of Turkey. Why would the Turks need a naval base in CYPRUS ???

More “state-funded” processing centers?
Meaning Greeks will be paying more in taxes.
A euro is a little more than one USD, and the tax rates are worse than ours.
A taxpayer making 40K euros pays 45-46% in income tax.
Greeks getting the shaft again.

I am impressed that the Greek authorities arrested them in the first place. Hopefully, after they are “processed”, they’re either deported back to Syria/Egypt/Sudan/Bangladesh, or if the EU forces them to remain in Europe, dump them on Albania or Kosovo

Noting the nations providing these “migrants,” one would like to think they are Christians or perhaps Hindus or another persecuted minority.
But, the nations from whence they come are ruled by mozlums….and they are not in a state of war against the mozlums in those countries. mozlums are safe in those places; not so minority citizens.
Also, they have come through Turkey, another mozlum nation.
They could all be sent home as there are no reasons for “asylum” for these people. I feel bad for the children, but the children of Greece are important too.

Those are not illegal migrants, but they are the soldiers of Allah and are coming to invade your country.
No women with them, means they are coming to have a citizen’s women to start built a Muslims terrorists families.
Whenever you will grant and accepting them as migrants. They will start as usual to protest for asking the sharia law. rape women, kidnaping, murder citizens,
When are you going to understand in every Muslim you are accepting in your country you plant a timing bomb?
Deport them immediately back to their country.
If you ask yourself why Muslims are coming to Europe by risk to die in the sea and they have 52 Muslims countries very reach, closer?
If you know why Muslims still coming to Europe, means you are a partner with them to destroy your country.
if you still do not know why Muslims still coming to Europe means you are in the wrong place and you must resign immediately.
Deport Muslims immediately back to their country if you want to live in secure and peace.
Muslims in Europe and the western countries are using the Sperm bombs, who are more danger than atomic bomb.
Nabil Bissada says
The 70 Muslims illegal migrants the soldiers of Allah were coming from Turkey the Muslims country.
Why Turkey refused to accept them, and you agree accepting them?
Shame on you Greece.
