They vowed not to let the C-Star refuel if it landed and the vessel is now expected to try another Tunisian port on Monday.

"It is the least we can do given what is happening out in the Mediterranean," Chamseddine Bourassine, head of the local fishermen's organisation, told AFP news agency. "Muslims and Africans are dying."

those fat, old, white guys stumbling around in the desert, supposedly keeping them Mexicans out, but mostly just stumbling around in the desert. At least we're not the only one's with a substantial population of utter morons.

Now what is the European version going to do if they come across a boat filled with refugees? Sink it? Idiots!
