Re: Prodi Bucks Trend on Immigration (none / 0)

We shall see if the majority of Italians buy the scare-mongering or if they prefer the more responsible approach of racial tolerance and openness endorsed by Prodi and the majority of the center-left

This is real interesting to me...what do you think will be the response?

Re: Prodi Bucks Trend on Immigration (none / 0)

Actually this is not a new position. The majority of the center-left has supported changing sigificant parts of this legialtion for while now, as I understand the situation. Right now, the center-left is still pretty far ahead (9 points) in the polls, so it would seem that most Italians either support repealing these policies or they are just more concerned with other issues such as economic growth and jobs to attach much importance to it.

I suppose it could conceivably turn out to be a big issue up in the north, especially in Lombary and Veneto where the neo-Nazi Northen League runs things. LOL!!
