During the coronavirus lockdown, not to mention the economic fallout, yet another wave of illegal migrants is flooding into Italy, with full permission from the government. Besides granting this amnesty, Italy’s government is considering letting in as many as 700,000 illegal migrants.
“The League’s Matteo Salvini has attacked the proposed amnesty, pointing to the millions of unemployed Italians who need work before illegals.”
Last month, Salvini, the former Deputy Prime Minister, warned that Soros-backed NGO lawyers are helping Muslim migrants from North Africa to reach Europe. He asserted that these illegals were already contacting their assigned lawyers “while they were still sailing on a damaged rubber boat from Libya to Europe.” Salvini has been vocal about the fact that Islamic law is in many ways incompatible with European values.
Italy’s culture and stability are being further damaged by the Pope, who has been campaigning alongside globalists to ensure that Italy’s doors remain open to mass migration.
“Italy Grants Illegal Migrants Six Month Amnesty Residency Permits,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, May 15, 2020:
The Italian government is moving forward with an amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants, although some in the nation’s parliament have pushed for residency for just illegal migrant labourers.
The draft of the amnesty decree was published by Italian media this week, the document seeking to give six-month residency permits to migrants working in sectors such as agriculture and domestic work. The League’s Matteo Salvini has attacked the proposed amnesty, pointing to the millions of unemployed Italians who need work before illegals.
According to a report from newspaper Il Giornale, members of the five star Movement (M5S), who form the ruling coalition with the leftist Democrats (PD), demanded the residency permits be only given to labourers and for a period of just one month.
The permits have several requirements and will be granted only to illegals who can present proof they have already been working in Italy. “Temporary permits only to those who have already had an employment contract in 2019,” undersecretary of the Interior, Carlo Sibilia said.
Both the Five-star Movement and the Italia Viva party, a small party led by former Prime minister Matteo Renzi, stated the decree was not a general amnesty but “common sense.”
Between 500,000 and 600,000 migrants could be affected by the new decree but residency permits will be rejected if the migrant’s employer has been convicted of aiding illegal migration in the last five years or have engaged in recruiting migrants for prostitution or other illegal activities.
Migrants with deportation orders and those considered a threat to Italian public safety are also excluded from the amnesty.
Populist Senator Matteo Salvini promised to fight back against the amnesty saying, “Instead of securing jobs for the millions of unemployed Italians and the many regular and respectable immigrants present in Italy, the government thinks of an amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants.”
Senator Stefano Candiani, also a member of Salvini’s League, added, “we will do everything democratically in our possession to stop this wicked project, we will collect signatures, if necessary, to promote a referendum and force them to the polls, where the Italians will punish them severely.”
Amnesty of illegals has been an issue considered by the leftist Italian coalition long before the coronavirus pandemic and was floated as early as January by Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese…..

“Amnesty” is a fancy name for Dereliction of Duty.

Hope readers of this site are aware that the Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte is a proven fraud and liar.
When jockeying for a cabinet position in Rome he presented the history of his outstanding education, which included more than one doctorate at well known American Universities.
These universities reacted by stating they had never heard of him. Most of his education curriculum was invented.
Notwithstanding his lies and falsifications, he became Prime Minister of Italy.
James Lincoln says
Is populist Senator Matteo Salvini the only sane Italian politician left in Italy?
Peter35 says
As far as we know. And he’s not in power, so the mad Italians don’t want him, seemingly.
mortimer says
It’s the parallel-proportional, multi-party system. Salvini lost because of the ‘Sardines’, an anti-nationalist, globalist group in the North. He says he will continue to work to harder. A new election doesn’t need to be held until 2003 unless the government falls.
Rufolino says
Salvini was not voted out ! He was pushed out, by a typical political conspiracy of the Left. Italy is a democracy in name only.
It seems Salvini is still the most popular politician in Italy.
Unfortunately he has been forced into the background by the coronavirus crisis, in which Conte got almost daily publicity.
There has to be a general election soon, and one hopes Salvini will do well, but anything can happen here.
AnnChristine says
I believe Angela Merkel had a hand in this also——Conte was in cahoots with her before ousting Salvini !

Suicidal and pointless. Who will pay for this exercise in social engineering? Who wants it? The Italians will wake up when it’s too late.
keith O says
In 6 months time you won”t find any of these criminals, they will have vanished into the shadows.
The tab for this will, like all social engineering mistakes, be paid for by the tax payers and the politicians who do it will retire, write books, go on the lecture circuit and get paid very well by the people they screwed over.

……………………..
Suicidal insanity.
Goofy says
Italy is broke already so who is going to pay? Saudi Arabia?
Chistopher Watson says
This happened once before when the Italians allowed in too many foreign workers and foreign soldiers. It was called the Roman Empire.
E T says
Obama had The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire removed from required reading makes one wonder. Many libraries removed it along with 18 other historical books—go figure.

Good point, Christopher.
OLD GUY says
BIG I mean real BIG MISTAKE! Why do these politicians continue to make the same mistakes over and over. Could George Soros’s money have something todo with it? Another question is why is Soros so hell bent on Muslim migration into E.U.?
