The European Commission said premier Romano Prodi's government was within
its rights to expel anyone suspected of being a "threat to public safety".
Gandalf, from Up Pompeii, speculates that this precedent will put pressure of the UK government to do the same.
I think this is the wave of the future.
France is already attempting to expel between 20-25 thousand immigrants a year.
This is the first step (that I know of) taken to expel those immigrants who have already been granted citizenship.
Good. If they don't want to live by the customs and laws of the lands into which they move, then get them out of there.
I don't think this is a step to enable the government to expel the "indesiderable" from the EC. They are expelled only from a country to their original country; the country where they have citizenship. And they must not return before three years.
ReplyDeleteI support the right to strip the citizenship from citizens that are not integrable (like the "youths" of Paris and Bruxelles).
It is a step. The question is, will they take the next step.
ReplyDeleteI can only say this:
ReplyDeleteItaly always was and is now a polarized nation.
So, if Muslims do something stupid here, there will be a real backlash, whoever will be at the government.
In the '70 the leftist terrorists went from "alleged" or "companions making errors" to full fledged enemies of the communists in few weeks, when they targeted and killed a communist union leader confronting them.
