A new law passed on Thursday July 2, making illegal immigration a crime in Italy.
With the exception of heads of school and doctors, Italians are now required by law to report the presence of illegal immigrants. Violation of this law is now punishable by hefty fines of up to 10,000 Euro and even imprisonment for up to 3 years for those in violation. The government has asked for "citizen patrols" to enforce the new law.
No public services such as health care or education are to be granted to babies or children whose parents do not legally reside in Italy.
A petition against the law has been drafted by activities including Moni Ovadia, and those who wish to add their names may do so here.
What's in a name?
