George Clooney May Have More Refugees Than He Can Handle

Actor and staunch Obama supporter George Clooney and his wife, Amal, have been open in their criticism of the treatment of refugees in the United States.

Of course, the refugee situation is a problem worldwide, not just in America. In a serendipitous event currently taking place in Italy, Clooney may get his fill of refugees.

Lake Como is a luxurious Italian resort where celebrities such as Clooney and Madonna own multi-million dollar properties.

Celebrities come to Lake Como for its beauty and tranquil atmosphere.

Daily Mail reports the town, which is a preferred destination for many famous people, has recently become a stopping point for migrants fleeing to Britain.

The town’s train station is reportedly being used as a temporary camp for incoming migrants. Sources say tents are being added on an hourly basis, but the resulting crush of people is also causing problems with trash, discarded food and rats.

Why are so many people being forced to make camp in Lake Como? It seems that Switzerland has closed its border to the railway. This means an alternative means of entry must be found.

The Sun reports hundreds of people are currently camping at the railway station, with more people arriving daily.

Robert Bernasconi, who works with a local Catholic charity, said, “We are helping them with food, clothing and we are also mounting showers.”

He went on to say there are more than 2,000 migrants currently being housed in the Catholic facilities.

One migrant told the Daily Mail he and his friends have been traveling for four months and they refused to stop before they made it to England. He added, “I don’t have any family there but I know people there. They say that England is the best place for refugees.” (For more from the author of “George Clooney May Have More Refugees Than He Can Handle” please click HERE)
