A new era

I thought I would have never seen this, but it happened today. The EU officials declared publicly that Italy is violating the human rights. Statements can be briefly reassumed in the following : The recently passed bill on public safety contains some ground rules that make a charge worse if you are an immigrant; There is no protection shield against raids towards Roma people ; the approval of violence towards the gypsies camps are particularly worrisome.

Immigration is not a new issue. Why are we not able to deal with it ? There are settlements of people who have been here for over 40 yrs and the latter are in despicable conditions. Moreover, people who have been here for over 40 yrs can be considered Italian? Should they be allowed to access the same rights of Italians ? Are they subjected to the same duties ?
If so, the situation is clearly unacceptable. Why if somebody steals from you is worse if you are a foreigner ? would you accept it more gladly if an italian stole your wallet ?
