Hmm…looks like that illegal immigration thing might be an election winner. First Switzerland then the NPD in Germany making a strong showing, now Italy…hmm a trend? And obviously with the rise of the NPD not always a great trend but when you spit on the locals by importing new voters they can always return the favor and get new politicians.
Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government’s confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another? Bertolt Brecht.

This week’s operation appeared to signal the new conservative government’s intention to keep its election promise to crack down on illegal immigrants. Many Italians hold them responsible for numerous crimes. Berlusconi’s People of Freedom coalition includes the anti-immigrant Northern League party. AKI - Adnkronos international Spain: Italy accused of ‘racist’ measures against immigrants
Consider this from Bloomberg news:
Berlusconi was helped to a bigger-than-expected victory thanks to his ally, the anti-immigration Northern League, which posted its best result since 1996 with a projected 8.7 percent of the upper-house vote and 22 senators. That will give the Northern League a big say in molding the new government’s agenda. It advocates devolving central-government powers over schools, police and taxes to local authorities and greater controls against illegal immigrants.
Shows us the path here in the States to stopping illegal immigration. We need new politicians. Because as soon as these parties got into power they started shaking the tree.
Italy’s new conservative interior minister Roberto Maroni said on Friday the country needs “firm measures” to tackle the “security emergency” caused by illegal immigration.
“The country demands immediate and effective answers form all political forces, working together to resolve the problems afflicting our communities,” said Maroni (photo), who belongs to the anti-immigrant Northern League party.
“Firm measures” are needed to renew police trust and prevent people taking matters into their own hands, Maroni said. He pledged to bolster the resources available for Italy’s police and security services.
Renew the peoples trust in the police…hmm. Prevent People from taking matters into their own hands. Lots of wisdom in those words. After all humans agreed to police forces a long time ago because they promised to keep the order. If they fail to keep order the reason for them fades and people will believe they need to take matters into their own hands. Not a good scenario as you might well imagine.
Earlier this week, people in a low-income suburb of the southern city of Naples set fire to a Roma Gypsy camp, forcing them to flee, after a report that a teenage Roma girl allegedly tried to kidnap an Italian baby.
“It is time to intervene with force to prevent anger taking over… and to avoid episodes of the unjustifiable violence that we saw in Naples,” Maroni stated.
Naturally there will be some who scream the same tired epitaphs at those who try and fix the problems of the clash of cultures. Problems caused in large part by the same sorts of people who scream those epitaphs the loudest.
Spain’s vice-president Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega has accused the Italian government of racism and xenophobia.
“The [Spanish] government rejects violence, racism and xenophobia, thus it does not agree with what is happening in Italy,” said Fernandez de la Vega at a media conference on Friday.
“Immigration is a necessary phenomenon, which is positive as long as it is orderly and legal,” said Fernandez de la Vega.
“The government does not share the deportations without respect for laws and rights.”
This statement while not a response to the Spanish Vice President certainly could be!
“For some time Italy has been the gateway of the Mediterranean, but this door now needs to be slammed shut because we have a duty to defend our citizens and guarantee their safety” affirmed Italy’s Minister for Community Policies, Andrea Ronchi, in an interview given to daily ‘Il Corriere della Sera’. “We - he went on - shall punish illegal immigrants, irregular stays by foreigners who commit crimes on our territory. And this is our full right as a nation, because there is not any contravention of international law. We don’t want to erect barriers, but our objective is that a culture of law and order comes to be shared across Europe”.
If only that realization hit our politicians it would be revolutionary! Imagine that, not allowing illegal immigration because of the crime it introduces into the center of our civilization!
Of course there is a point of no return. A point where if we don’t control illegals quickly enough they control the government. Witness California where Proposition 187, a state wide initiative to control illegal immigration, passed with over 58% of the vote in state wide elections.
California Proposition 187 was a 1994 ballot initiative designed to deny illegal immigrants social services, health care, and public education. It was introduced by assemblyman Dick Mountjoy (Republican from Monrovia, California) as the Save Our State initiative. A number of other organizations were involved in bringing it to the voters. It passed with 58.8% of the vote,[1] but was overturned by a federal court. The measure prompted support for similar bills in Illinois, Florida, New York and Texas.[1]
But the measure was challenged in court and ultimately defeated by Grey Davis who simply stopped the appeal process allowing the measure to die. Thus even when the people spoke in overwhelming terms their desires were ignored. Makes one wonder exactly what does it take for us to win?
Where is our Berlusconi? Where are the politicians who will stand up and stop the transformation of the United States into a third world country? We must understand that we will be called the most vicious names in out fight to preserve our culture. It is worth the price.
