Leaders of 9 European Union countries say they want a reinterpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights in order to better tackle irregular migration to the continent and effectively increase deportations.

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/64750219

  • The leaders said in an open letter made public in Rome on Thursday that interpretations of the rights convention by the European Court of Human Rights have limited the flexibility of national governments and prevented them from expelling migrants who commit crimes.

  • The letter was signed by leaders of Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

    Oh no, those pesky human rights. What a horror!

    Maybe you fucking shits could try to get it together and make good politics that influence the lives of the people in a positive way instead of being useless fucks and loading every problem, you are to blame for, on immigrants. What a bunch of cunts!

    Very well.

    Let’s have all those people go back to the basic jobs: farming, hospitality, house cleaning, call centers, waste water management, garbage collection, recycling separation, etc, and see if they are willing to do it.

    Then we can have a proper conversation.

      It’s a good thing laws can’t arbitrarily be changed then, right?

      Oh, wait. This kind of thing is exactly about letting people do that so they can punish whomever they wish.

      I am fairly certain that if you had faced legal consequences for each and every violation of the laws of your country that you committed, your own logic would justify putting you behind bars forever.
