Every year thousands of African immigrants try to reach Spanish and Italian territory on small rafts.

No. Not only would that be ****ing barbaric and insane, it would be completely ineffective; it wouldn't stop any of the rest from trying to come anyways.Every year thousands of African immigrants try to reach Spanish and Italian territory on small rafts.
That's frankly a terrible idea.Every year thousands of African immigrants try to reach Spanish and Italian territory on small rafts.
Of course they should.
Absolutely. But, if they don't chum the water first, it's pointless. The illegals will just go back and use hot air balloons the next time, and then the air forces will have to get involved, and possibly ground forces as well to kill the survivors - especially the children - of any shoot downs.
In a word.
No.
:screwy
You'd rather the thousands drown?
Or how about just people in general?Well... I assume then you'd feel perfectly comfortable firing a ship cannon at a raft filled with women and children?

About 500 migrants are feared to have drowned after the boat carrying them from Egypt to Malta was apparently rammed and deliberately sunk by people-traffickers, an intergovernmental group has said.
The news – based on the accounts of two Palestinian survivors – emerged on the same day up to 200 more people were feared dead when another boat heading to Europe capsized off Libya.
The Geneva-based International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said there was no independent verification for what happened to the vessel heading to Malta, mainly because only nine people are believed to have survived. The IOM's account comes from the two Palestinians, who were rescued by another boat and taken to Sicily.
Malta's armed forces said it had flown seven survivors, who were suffering from hypothermia, to a hospital in Crete. It said initial information pointed to a collision of some sort between a boat carrying up to 400 migrants and another vessel.
If the Palestinian men's account is correct, by the IOM's tally about 2,900 migrants have died this year in the Mediterranean against 700 for all of 2013. "If this story, which police are investigating, is true, it would be the worst shipwreck in years – not an accident but a mass murder, perpetrated by criminals without scruples or any respect for human life," the IOM said in a statement.
Hmm technically they do. They however first rescue the people. Once on the coast guard or navy ships then they sing the raft/boat/ship so it cant be used again.
Murder seems like an overreaction to someone just wanting to find a better life.
Your advocating feeding refugees to sharks.
Think about that.
I was going to say that sounded too James Bond villain-ish.I am. I'm also kidding. If there's a humane way to stop the problem, it's at the source.
