Some young European far right-wingers are so fed up with migrants reaching the continents shores that theyve decided to take matters into their own hands. The group is raising money to run its very own border patrol mission in the waters separating Libya and Italy.

The Identitarian Movement (known as IB) tries to appeal to its cohorts by putting a youthful spin on one of the far rights favorite narratives: Migrants are destroying Europes social fabric. These hipsters of the far right are mostly young professionals under the age of 30 who preach primarily through social media.

The groups most high-profile endeavor so far is Defend Europe , a crowdfunding initiative to that aims to thwart rescue missions by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the central Mediterranean Sea.

PayPal took IBs fundraising page down in June. Yet the group found workarounds and said it had raised more than $117,000 as of Monday.

It used the funds to purchase a ship and hire a crew to keep an eye on NGO search-and-rescue missions and intervene when theyre doing something illegal, IB founder Martin Sellner said last week in a YouTube video . He claims that IBs crew will also rescue anyone in distress if its ship receives an SOS signal, but the group then will do everything in its power to send the people back to Africa.

Our goal is to step in where our politicians are failing and to do what is necessary to stop the deadly illegal migration into Europe, according to the IB website. An invasion is taking place. This massive immigration is changing the face of our continent. We are losing our safety and our way of life and there is a danger we Europeans will become a minority in our own European homelands.
