      Italy’s Interior Minister Begins Deporting Migrants: “Deporting Them Isn’t Racist, It’s Merely Common Sense”

      Leader of the far-right League (Lega Nord) party, Matteo Salvini looks on during a meeting with the foreign press on March 14, 2018 in Rome. Anti-establishment party M5S leader on March 13 called on Italy's other political parties to listen to what he called a "signal" from voters and help him break the country's post-election political deadlock, but neither League leader Matteo Salvini nor the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) have budged since the vote. / AFP PHOTO / TIZIANA FABI

      Salvini is right, but he will be excoriated as a “racist” anyway.

      The political and media elites expect, and indeed demand, that the countries of the West commit national suicide.

      Anything short of that is “racist” and “neo-Nazi.”

      “Italy’s Interior Minister keeps election promise as Italy starts deporting migrants,” by Ben Perchiron, Voice of Europe, September 12, 2018:

      Italy’s Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini, who vowed to deport hundreds of thousands of illegal African migrants from Italy back to their respective countries, seems to have started in earnest now….

      After reaching several agreements with their country of origin, Italian authorities loaded the immigrants onto a boat to Libya, where they’d then be put on a plane to Nigeria. Later, Mr Matteo Salvini commented: “there’ll be 165 fewer potential rapists of our women, and this is only the beginning.”

      With this act Italy wants to send a strong message to migrants: “We want African migrants to know that if they come here, we will send them back. Italy is no longer open to all types of immigration.”

      This coincides with Mr Salvini’s message to the UN – that Italy cannot be accused of “racism” as during decades Italy took in thousands of migrants. “Deporting them isn’t racist, it’s merely common sense.” Mr Salvini is now considering cutting funds to the United Nations.
