As Italy wakes up to the new influx and faces the prospect of closing its ports can anyone blame them.
The EU is supposed to be united, take joint decisions and yet....
Angela Merkel declared an open border, thousands flocked through daily till suddenly Angela realised what she'd done, however with bolting horses its always to late to bolt the door.
Word spread through Africa that the promised land was there and wanting to embrace all immigrants.
People smugglers were quick to make a profit on human misery.
Officials failed to stamp out this trade preferring instead to take bribes and get rid of the new incomers.
So last year we had a crisis, hundreds of thousands in Greece and Italy and the EU did nothing - oh yes fine words but in reality nothing, Merkel more interested in retaining her top table place than alleviating the misery of the camps or helping with the correct registering/checking of immigrants - an open door for terrorists and associates.
And then winter
and the boats going across, the flow of migrants lessening.
But hello there, a new intercede, the Charity Boats, out there in all weathers with hot tea and life jackets looking for stray boats and broadcasting to all and sundry their positions.
So this summer its going to be hell, already in the last few days 12,000 have arrived, and the charity boats full to overflowing. There are those who believe the charity boats, backed by bleeding hearts, actually arrange to meet up with the smugglers - or at least make it know where they'll be so boats can be set adrift with a good chance of being picked up.
Am I being inhumane, I don't think so, all these poor people being offered and sold a dream, encouraged to come to the EU have no idea of the squalor of the camps, the lack of work and suitable homes, and yet they still come dreaming of falling into the welcoming arms of an Angela Merkel type angel.
Time for a full EU action, patrolling the illegal smuggler waters and returning those boats to port of exit, the EU is full!
But will the EU act, use your common sense, its got a very big carpet and still plenty of room to brush more problems under. Italy should live up to its threat, Greece should follow suit till the EU comes in with man power and cash.
Surely the humanitarian problem is bigger than worrying about who is going to get elected Angela!
