Italians Want Army to Secure Borders
Italians Want Army to Secure Borders
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - The majority of people in Italy think police officers have been unable to control the border and avoid the entry of illegal immigrants into the country, according to a poll by Arnaldo Ferrari Nasi. 56.8 per cent of respondents want the Armed Forces to enforce border security as well.
In addition, 63.4 per cent of respondents are under the impression that illegal immigrants who arrive in Italy are usually captured by authorities and then quickly released.
Italy has seen a significant increase in the number of illegal immigrants coming from African war-torn countries such as Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia over the past few years. Most newcomers arrive by boat, and many die in their attempt to reach Italian soil.
Italy and Egypt have legal agreements that allow the Italian government to repatriate illegal Egyptian immigrants upon their arrival. In early November, Rania Mohamed—from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry’s Department for Consulates and Egyptian Expatriates—declared: “We need to treat the root of the problem. Namely, provide better living conditions for the people so they stop considering emigrating. If they want to emigrate, then they should get the needed training and do it via legal channels.â€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
