rome is full of bangladeshi guys selling trinkets. can they all migrate there when b'desh goes underwater?

jun 11th, 2011 CE

on my recent trip to rome, i was amazed to see the place chock full of bangladeshis running all the illegal street trinket selling (eg. laser-etched colosseum in glass paperweight) operations. they are also barkers for all the tour buses (one sported the name 'alex'!). they run some of the (legal) concessions selling paninis and pizzas.

apparently these fellows showed up and were working in farms and then restaurants. now they have graduated to 'customer-facing' positions, i suppose. they seem to have displaced blacks and arabs as the usual street vendors. (i would have thought that given that libya is just across the sea, lots of migrant arabs would be running around rome, but apparently not);.

i hope the bangladeshis will call all their brothers and sisters over when their country starts going underwater as the sea level rises. why go to india? much better to europe.

I agree ; Let them invite their ilk not only from Bangladesh, but also from India; Crime rates will fall dramatically!!!

On an another note, their estranged brothers and sisters from Pakistan are very much doing the same thing in Spain ......... the streets of Barcelona is full of these guys ....
I personally think, it not the UK alone that is being flood by these peace lovers; Europe will soon be theirs;

India is not going to be alone facing the problems of you ROP.

Let's see how Europe deals with it.
