In an interview to be published in tomorrow's edition of MaltaToday, Dr Katrine Camilleri, Director of the Jesuit Refugee Service Malta says "We have allowed ourselves to perceive migrants as less than human."

This woman is a prime example of the saying 'The enemy within'.
She should be tried for treason and burned at the stake so the Maltese who are 'saddened and fearful' would enjoy the spectacle.
At least she is satisfied with the response of the authorities to the incident? What response, to pillorise her fellow Maltese?

Is Dr Camilleri aware of the mixture of "very strong emotions... mostly of sadness and fear" of the Maltese population regarding the problem of illegal immigration.
