    Yes it is. Might as well start an invasion of half the middle east if inaction is the same thing as active murder.

      When a government is informed that people are dying within its waters, and the gov has the capability to respond but deliberately chooses not to because the victims are “african”, you think that the government bears no responsibity for their deaths?

          OK. So by that logic, let’s say you are touring Europe and have a heart attack. The paramedics are in the area and available, but refuse to take you to the hospital. You are left to die on the street.

          You think you deserve such foul treatment?

            Have I snuck in through a known danger or used my visa?

              I’m sorry, but there is no situation where it is permissible to stand idle as someone suffers an untimely and preventable death.

              Even soldiers at war, captured in foreign territory without visas, are entitled to lifesaving care.

              “Snuck in” is a very strange word to use for asylum seekers
