More than 1500 people died crossing the Mediterranean
| Use whatever labels you want but I don't really care. Certain countries accepted too many refugees for them to be able to handle a lot of suffering happened on both sides as a result. The truth is that every country has its limits and places like Germany and Sweden desperately need a cool off period.
And at the end of the day, no one made these people cross the sea.
| *only 1500* number would have been much higher if they were not so active in rescueing them
| I don't even know if those people were lucky or not

As it was mentioned, this is falsified by the increasing death counts after stopping/restricting rescue.
| All these implicating posts and not a single source in the thread.

There is a big difference between sending out less patrols or actively searching for migrants. Well legally speaking offcourse
| >People die crossing large bodies of water with a makeshift raft.
NO SHIT

And there is a big difference between 1000 people drowning (with "active search") and 1500 people (without "active search").
There are not much arguments from the anti-migration lobby left, now that their "pull trigger" idea has been disproved by reality. I suspect them for not caring about any people anyway and put their xenophobe ideology over everything else.

| Despite the fact that the european anti-migration policy became more and more restrictive in the last years, this year holds the sad record of 1500 people dieing while crossing the mediterranean sea*.
This disproves the myth of so called "pull factors" by anti-migration movements who used it as argument to pretend they actually care about people and aren't just racists.
*Note for dumb US-americans: The Mediterranean is an ocean that separates (north-)Africa from Europe.
