Italian Government Proven Correct as Invasion Intensifies

[Trevortt]

The Italian government’s decision to declare a state of emergency over the immigration invasion being suffered by that country has been proven correct with the news that a tiny Italian island has been brought to is knees after more than 800 illegal immigrants arrived by boat from Africa within a space of 24 hours.



The migrants, all from Africa, arrived on Lampedusa, south of Sicily, pushing its services to breaking point. Government officials said the huge influx underlined the need to issue a state of emergency over the problem of illegal immigration which has become a key concern of the new Italian government.

The island’s mayor, Bernardino De Rubeis, said: “Lampedusa is on its knees and we need an urgent visit from the interior minister Roberto Maroni, so he can see the dilemma we face.

“The time has come for this to stop and for a solution to this problem to be found once and for all, the needs of the people of Lampedusa are being forgotten.

“We have seen a 30 per cent drop in tourism and we have also down to just one daily flight between the island and Lampedusa and we have other pressing problems such as drainage and sanitation which are not being dealt with.”

He added that by the weekend he expected the number of illegal immigrants on the island to be 1,500 - more than double the capacity of the island’s holding centre.
