Rohingya Raft of Fail: Another Boatload Goes Swimming with the Fishes
More 'refugees' take a shortcut to Davy Jones' locker thanks to overcrowding and bad weather – what else is new?

So, another boatload of Rohingya refugees went belly-up in the Andaman Sea, leaving around 250 folks doing their best impression of a submarine. Turns out cramming a quarter-thousand people onto a glorified dinghy and setting sail during monsoon season isn't exactly a recipe for success. Who knew?
The usual suspects are wringing their hands and bleating about the 'humanitarian crisis' and how we need to open our wallets wider. Yeah, because throwing more money at the problem is totally going to fix it. Maybe we should just give everyone a free kayak and a GPS? Problem solved!
These 'refugees' were apparently trying to sneak into Malaysia. Look, I'm no expert, but if you're fleeing 'persecution,' maybe try, oh, I don't know, not breaking international laws and risking drowning in the process? Just a thought.
The UN is, of course, begging for more cash. They claim this tragedy is a result of 'protracted displacement' and the 'absence of durable solutions.' Translation: they're still trying to figure out how to keep the gravy train running. Newsflash: durable solutions don't grow on trees, and some problems, like a population that refuses to integrate, are just damn hard to solve.
One survivor, Rafiqul Islam, claims he was lured onto the boat by traffickers promising him a job in Malaysia. Shocking! Criminals exploiting vulnerable people? Stop the presses! Maybe instead of demanding open borders, we should crack down on these lowlifes preying on desperate folks.
Let's be real, this is a disaster, but it's also a predictable outcome of failed policies and unrealistic expectations. The Rohingya issue has been a dumpster fire for years, and no amount of virtue signaling or international aid is going to magically extinguish it.
Meanwhile, back in the West, we're dealing with our own problems – inflation, woke nonsense, and a government that's more interested in pronouns than actual policy. So excuse me if I'm not exactly shedding tears over a boat that probably shouldn't have been on the water in the first place.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of enabling this endless cycle of migration and misery, we should focus on fixing the root causes back in Myanmar. But hey, that would require actual leadership and a willingness to challenge the status quo. And we all know how likely that is.
