mishtalk | UK prime minister Theresa May will address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. She seeks UN Action to Control Mass Migration Flows.
In contrast, I propose a 10-point “common sense” solution, not UN action.
What the hell can the UN do?
The answer of course is nothing. And asking a political body that
cannot possibly do anything useful to solve a problem is like hoping a
wish-granting magic genie will pop out of the bottle.
Some readers may be thinking “stop criticizing and offer a solution”. Fair enough.

Instead of seeking UN action, how about a little common sense?
