Honestly, Italy has been pretty much fucked by the EU with their immigration laws stating that an immigrating person is the responsibility of the country where he/she first sets foot on. Italy alone realistically can't support the vast number of immigrants coming to Lampedusa & Co. from northern Africa without serious spending (of course all in a time where extremely rigid austerity measures are imposed on them by the Troika), and the rest of the EU is happy not giving a fuck.
I mean seriously, the resulting conditions at the places where the immigrants are held, most before being sent back to their home country, are just fucking disgusting. It's truly shameful for a political complex such as the EU, which brands itself as the bastion of human rights and democracy to not only let such things happen, but create the conditions leading to it.
Similar situations of course also exist in Spain and Greece.
Frontex as a whole is revolting. A massive number of people coming from Africa by ship drowns everyday, and it's even illegal to rescue them from certain death. There are a couple of fisherman who are actually being persecuted for saving human life.
