Rome - Washington: Europe, Arabs and Agencies
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi announced that his country's authorities returned 233 illegal immigrants to their countries this week.
The Italian Interior Minister said - in a statement on Saturday evening - that the measure came thanks to the exceptional operations carried out by the Italian police to combat illegal immigration. According to what was reported by the Youm7 website in Cairo from the Middle East News Agency
This comes within the framework of a government plan to combat illegal immigration. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni confirmed a 60% decline in the number of illegal immigrants arriving in Italy compared to last year's figures.
In another country, but in the same context and under the title "Trump puts mass deportation at the heart of his election campaign. Some Republicans are concerned", the American Associated Press shed light on the attempt of former US President Donald Trump to attract Republicans by adopting a stricter policy towards the immigration file, but it seems that this approach is worrying voters.
The agency said that this violent approach against immigration and immigrants was clearly evident in the signs that appeared at the Republican candidate’s election events. For example, signs at the Republican National Convention said “Mass Deportation Now!” while other signs completely welcomed Trump’s pledge to expel millions of immigrants in the largest deportation program in American history.
