Being a borderline country between Libya and the rest of Europe, means that we receive a lot of migrants. We have have over 17,000 migrants leaving in Malta ( That's a lot for a country with a population of 400,000 ).
The reason we don't have a ton more migrants in our country is because most never wanted to come in our country ( Preferring Italy or Northern countries ) and prefer going back to their starting point than staying here.
Some even refuse help from Malta while they're stranded at sea ( Not that's a huge lol ): http://www.timesofmalta.com/mobile/view/20150504/local/migrants-refusing-help-from-maltese-patrol-boats.566735 |
The problem is migration can be a positive story, but as a country, you'd need to invest. My home town Gent has a lot of people from migration backgrounds, ranging from Turkey, Arab countries, Eastern Europe and Asia, but we get along fine. Sure, there are still people that complain and of course, sometimes we have problems. But generally, we appreciate each others cultural diversity and complement each others culture. That creates an atmosphere in which each community can thrive.
