These people have been here for two decades at least. They caused no trouble (I searched online and could not find any news about Ethiopians breaking the law or posing a threat to Maltese society). They work, pay taxes. Malta is overpopulated so anyone living illegally in Malta is being deported – and that is the right thing to do. But deporting someone who is illegally here, have no job and causing trouble is one thing. Deporting someone like in the case of these Ethiopians, well, I don’t know, surely it is another thing.

This is good news. It’s unfortunate that justice came so late as it often does.

The only way to send the message that coming here illegally is a bad idea. Even after 20 years it will bite your back

That’s because you are. You entered the country illegally, which makes you a criminal. Criminality doesn’t just fade away.

this and overpopulation are unrelated.
