“Immigrants who live in Castel Volturno irregularly and without permission have no right to stay here.”
Lor said the leader of the League Matteo Salvini in response to reporters' questions on the issue of the presence, in Castel Volturno, of about fifteen thousand irregular immigrants, many of whom have been present for 20 years with children born in Italy but without any rights; people for whom it is impossible to talk about repatriation. "First of all, we need to stop the arrivals - says Salvini - so that the problem does not worsen; we have closed centers with large numbers, I think of the Cara in Mineo with 4 thousand immigrants, in Bagnoli with 2 thousand; these are things you cannot do in a quarter of an hour, when I was at the Ministry of the Interior we made the effort to send police.
Patience is needed and we need to work in concert with the mayors, so ring the bells because there are many immigrants who have the right to be here,” says Salvini, opening up to the census of migrants, a tool already proposed in the past in Castel Volturno. “Try being an illegal immigrant in Switzerland yourself,” Salvini asks a journalist; “they will kick you out immediately. We must do it in Italy too, because we must choose between legality and illegality.”
