Immigrants a resource misunderstood
Giovanna Zincone (for La Stampa )
is fast, consistent, now exceeds the European average, had substantial input of irregular, it is well rooted in the social fabric. In the Italian Statistical Dossier on Immigration, submitted yesterday by Caritas, these characters emerge clearly.
immigrants are about 4.3 million, 7.2% of the population. With Spain (+726%) and Ireland (+400%), Italy (+292%) is among the European countries that have seen more quickly multiply the number of foreigners in the last 10 years. To nurture the rapid multiplication of our immigrants have also been, and much, irregular flows. The figures show the number of legalization, including the latest one that has 300,000 requests, and it was only domestic workers. It is a huge sum, if you think that rules out new EU as the Romanians because they need it most. It is a huge sum, considering that the economic crisis is producing important controesodi and that Italy began the fall. In Spain and Germany the number of immigrant residents has already fallen. But certainly the exodus will not change the fact that in Europe and immigration in Italy has a structural nature.
Our immigrants - according to figures Caritas - are workers (2 million), students (629,000). Are sources of welfare because they produce 10% of national wealth and pay 7 billion in social security contributions. Caritas, and highlights these and other encouraging aspects, seeks to mitigate those worrying arrivals of illegal immigrants, immigration as a source of increased crime and public policy challenge. The report, rightly points out that landings accounted for a minor (1%) of the inputs and particularly notes that the ships carrying desperate people, many of whom are entitled to asylum. Caritas returns to report that the percentage of deviants among legal immigrants the same as that of the Italians. Further points out that the activity rates and employment of foreigners are higher than those of the national. Advised not to fear the Muslim community because he sees largely peaceful.
This optimism stems from his determination to defend the weak ethical commitment. It is therefore worthy of utmost respect, even if the reality comes out a little 'transfigured. The fact remains that the immigrant crime rate overall is too high. The increase in unemployment among foreigners, which is accompanied by a lesser but increasing among the Italians, it creates tensions. The quiet community is home to Muslim children in the womb subversive nuclei, which may cause trouble, as the bombing of Milan teaches.
Immigration is not a waltz for ladies. Is it a painful and difficult for those left behind. It is a fact hard to digest for people of the countries of immigration. Those who today find it difficult to metabolize suggest a visit, if only virtual, the infant National Museum of Emigration: dispels many misconceptions and help to put themselves in others' shoes. The Italians also emigrated en masse from the Po Valley, not only by the unfortunate South. In 1890 the Prefect of Vicenza informs that "migration is leaving many farmers, who will be driven not so much by the hope to find in America that get rich quick, as well as the inability to live life in their homeland ' . Even immigrants crossed our borders to illegal or not credible tourist permits. Italian migration has brought with it not only powerful mafias, but also perpetrators of bombings and subversive factions excellent. Our communities were considered dangerous to public order. What's more, Italians are also blamed to rob the place for local workers. And while the bulk of our immigrants actually help to enhance the recipient countries, anti-Italian undue generalizations by politicians and opinion leading manhunt ended up legitimizing murder. As with the lynching of 11 Italian workers to Aigues-Mortes, followed by the predictable trials. Immigration unfortunately is not a waltz for ladies, so it is good that we all commitments, both Italian and foreign elites in the head, to avoid that degenerates into a macabre dance.

Piazza del Popolo in 150 thousand for the freedom of information
ROME - Piazza del Popolo packed (according to the organizers took part in 150 thousand) for the demonstration in defense of press freedom. Here are some influential voices gathered by news agencies. All but one that I have collected personally.
Roberto Saviano (from the stage in Piazza del Popolo), "What is happening proves an old truth, namely that truth and power never coincide. The press freedom we defend is the serenity of work, the ability to tell a story without having to wait for retaliation. Italy is the second country after Colombia for the number of persons who are under protection. Tell in certain parts of Italy, especially in the south, is complicated and forces to defend their lives. The main enemy is indifference, which isolates those who try to describe reality. That's why we are here to say that every country needs the freedom of expression .
George Hare (historical director of ANSA), "all of us engage to avoid stifle the free voices and to ensure that the right of indignation that rises from this square should be in all locations in Italy . I was born and grew up under fascism, and I know that means a society without freedom information, a press controlled by the power, listen to one voice and not being able to express their own. Today is different, because we have art. 21 of the Constitution, perhaps the most beautiful of the fundamental law of the State. But be warned: we still have room for freedom, even if there is a bill in Parliament to amend Art. 21. But there's this square and cry raised by this .
Giorgio Bocca (journalist). " The demonstration is needed because press freedom is in danger. But I doubt that is effective, because by now the power of the Prime Minister to intervene in the media is obvious. Freedom of the press in Italy on there but, as De Benedetti says, journalists are intimidated. Are affected. And it is also affected public opinion. In Italy in recent years there has been a real change of civilization. I do not know, for example, how many of those who have seen Santoro did so genuine desire for truth or those who simply want to see an escort in the face of Berlusconi. I think the risk of a new fascism is present in Italy. And I think that, as happened with the murder of Matteotti, comes the moment when this government will eliminate the need to really press freedom .
Capezzone (journalist PDL and spokesman): "Everyone knows , including the promoters and participants in the demonstration today, that there is no freedom of press and of expression in danger in Italy .

Ovulation Discharge Versus Pregnancy Discharge
The bill on citizenship comes to the House in November
of Italo Mastrangeli (published ImmigrazioneOggi.it )
ROME - In the coming weeks, the Constitutional Affairs Select Committee of Camera will try to write something for the reform of citizenship law, starting from 12 proposals submitted by different parties. Then, in November, the House of Deputies will be to establish conditions under which you can obtain the Italian citizenship. Among the proposals of the bipartisan initiative stands out 'finiano' Fabio Granata and the Catholic Pd Andrea Sarubbi. A design 'revolutionary' than the current law, the number 91 of 1992, but in line with the legislation of other EU countries. Among those opposed to the usual League, perched in defense of 91/1992. "A law on citizenship is already functioning and the Minister Maroni said Monday during the broadcast TV 'Morning cinque'-I personally believe that the law should not be changed."
The League, therefore, continues bossianamente to 'hold on'. Clear why. The Law 91/1992, as approved in the entire peninsula was under way for the festivities 500anni the discovery of America, and which reversed the previous law dating back to 1912 (the year of the colonization of Libya), has in common with the latter, the aim of protecting the roots of Italian immigrants (via ius sanguinis). Without attempting to consider the growth of foreign presence and its stabilization in the context of Italian demographic. Which is understandable in 1912 when they emigrated from Italy. Not eighty years later, with the Albanians who were pressing on the Apulian coast. By means of the Law, Italy has been able, in these 17 years, in fits and starts granting citizenship to those who have no Italian blood that flows in his veins. During this time only 261mila individuals have become 'new Italians'. In France, just to make a comparison, the French are now only 300 thousand immigrants in a two-year period (2006/2007).
If the bill passed in Parliament Granieri-Sarubbi would be 1 million 600 thousand 'new Italians' (estimate: ACLI). Unacceptable to the minds of the Po, and in the taverns Lega not incite separatism but more to the defense italianity threatened by the 'invaders'. Two points of the bill particularly unwelcome Bossi and Co. First. The introduction of jus soli, which will allow children born on Italian soil to foreign parents legally resident for at least 5 years automatically become Italian. Second. The possibility for immigrants to apply for citizenship after five years of residence and not more than ten. These will be the two nodes that illuminate the public debate. Major
agreement instead of the Italian language in the introduction of the examination as a prerequisite for citizenship. With this qualitative criterion will give a proof of the will, not only to acquire citizenship, but also to integrate in the Bel Paese. You can not be citizens if you do not participate national life and there is entrenched in their community of belonging - the Chinese community is one example, albeit a bit 'too much abused. So in saying all convinced the Italians to name but just not in fact. Fully open, however, (if the design becomes law) with those who wish, with mutual respect, realize their life plan in accordance with the principles enshrined in the Constitution.
Postscript. course, have to respect the constitution is not only migrants but also the institutions themselves. That too often trample on individual rights that they carry the migrants considered homogeneous and people in need to their culture.

ACLI: "They have given up 30-40% of households regularization"
is between 30 and 40% while the estimate of affected families have finally given up the adjustment of domestic workers and caregivers. An estimate based on the experience provided by the ACLI Patronato spread of the branches of the main Italian provinces, taking account of those approached to inquire for start of practice and then not finish the procedure.
Among the main causes of the surrender: the income limit required by the measure, the minimum limit of 20 working hours - which has impacted on domestic workers with multiple employers - and the requirement of accommodation.
But the biggest obstacle - say the ACLI - is manifested The total cost of the employment relationship: "When they took note of the actual costs of employment and the resulting rights conferred on employees, families to be coming back." "And 'the proof - say the ACLI - you can not continue to fall squarely on the shoulders of the families the cost of domestic labor, without providing adequate measures of income support, both from a monetary tax." Again according to the ACLI, the percentage of waivers found at the counter may help to explain the gap between the number of actual and planned regularization.
