I really wish this was more of an option for us, but it's not. Italy has the advantage of having a sea between you and the source of the illegal immigration. We share a rather large land border with our source.

Agreed

Well, we're not the pioneers of that. We just happen to be the best at doing that at the moment. I think our days of this are numbered though. It's getting far too expensive to keep this tactic up. China will likely pick up the slack in the future.

Again I concur. The funny thing is now people get mad we don't pursue this type of strategy and intervene. And your right about China (Tough Vote: Top Countries: Will China overtake the US?), its going to be up to them to start policing all this stuff, and they are not exactly the ones you want to be doing that sort of thing...

Sort of... Although, China and Russia veto plenty of things as well. The Security Council essentially makes the U.N. mostly impotent with regard to real change oftentimes.

And this is the main reason the UN has not passed anything to help Libya as of yet!
