The ANNOTICO Report
Every Country is entitled to Restrict Immigration, just
as much as each of
us are entitled to Restrict entrance to our House.
Because some people have more room than they need, and
have a better
economic status, and eat better, does not permit us to
walk into and
"squat" in their house, nor does it permit them to for
the same reasons to
"sneak" into our country.
But, some answer between the extremes of Little immigration
permitted, and
"open borders" must be found.
Felons, Diseased People, Terrorists, People with Intent
to live on Welfare
should be denied access.
Work Permits can be given to desirable people with the
provision that they
learn the English Language, and stay out of trouble with
the law.

ROME June 15 (Reuters) - Immigrants are naturally violent
and should pay a
bond to enter Italy, an Italian minister has said, in
comments which could
add to a lynching atmosphere that has gripped the north
after two Albanians
killed a barman.
Gangs described by police as skinheads and right-wing
soccer fans injured
two immigrants and smashed shop windows in retaliation
this week after the
barman was stabbed in a fight on Sunday night in the
northern region of
Varese.
"You can't add a high number of immigrants, like is currently
happening, to
a social fabric like ours. Albanians and other races
have shown a higher
tendency towards violence and aggression," Reforms Minister
Roberto
Calderoli told Corriere della Sera daily in an interview
published on
Wednesday.
"The rage reaches such a point it starts a series of reactions,"
said
Calderoli, of the populist Northern League.
"It's not the right response and we don't encourage it
but in cases like
this, the idea of taking care of things yourself occurs.
The time will come
when people will react forcefully."
Two Albanians were arrested following the murder of the
barman, which
outraged locals and spurred gangs to attack at least
two Albanian
immigrants who were walking down the street and ransack
a pizzeria owned by
an immigrant.
Three people have been detained over those attacks.
On Wednesday, police were trying to remove banners demanding
the death
penalty for the two young Albanians.
Tensions reached a similar peak last year when two Milan
jewellers chased,
shot and killed a would-be-thief who turned out to be
an illegal immigrant
from Montenegro. Thousands of demonstrators took to the
streets in defence
of the jewellers.
Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu has condemned the recent
gang-style
attacks but said the killing of the barman "confirms
that illegal
immigration represents a growing threat for law and order
in our country".
Last month he said that illegal immigrants were responsible
for up to half
of all crimes in some Italian regions.
Calderoli, whose Northern League party has used anti-illegal
immigrant
sentiment and far-fetched proposals to garner voter support
in its
stronghold in the north, said he might have the solution.
"I am thinking of proposing an obligatory bond for every
immigrant to
obtain an entry visa into Italy," he said, without elaborating.
"The bond, whose value is yet to be determined, would
be returned at the
moment each immigrant returns to his country."
Calderoli also said immigration should be halted at the
border "with the
use of force, if necessary".
The League's party leader Umberto Bossi once said the
navy should fire over
the bows of the rickety boats of illegal migrants to
deter them.
