For the past two years, Giorgia Meloni has made lowering immigration a central focus for her government. And, while the initial results were poor, the latest data shows a surprisingly staggering drop in small boat crossings.

  1. Please, can you write years and data sources on the graphs? And give up the animation, I can't properly read the graphs if they are moving and then disappear the moment they and get to the correct value. Showing current data in stead of outdated would also be helpful, the opinions on migration has changed a lot almost everywhere since 2019.

  2. Italian here. Illegal immigration is a burden both side, dunno where these numbers are taken but go to visit Italy and will see how the situation is atm. Skilled workers will be always welcome, this is what Meloni is trying to do. If italians are not doing enough childern is because we got poorer during last decades due to a lower productivity (..) and politics/politicians are not helping families.

  3. Italy's problem was not with immigration in general – it was with the thousands and thousands of illegal migrants arriving with no valid documents and no prospects that the left wing were welcoming in and gifting money to with no attempt of real integration. Allowing work visas is not the same thing and I'm surprised that such a simple distinction was not mentioned. At the end of the video you mentioned how the work visas will be permitted to some illegal migrants – hence not making them illegal anymore and introducing a method to integrate them and sift through the ones that actually want to integrate

  4. This will never going to stop become how the world works and goods distributed, there is internet, they see how people live, and they can use a google map and get to any of the countries on foot.
    Maybe if there would be of a really bad deterrent, but what's the worst case here? They just get sent home, and they try again.

  5. Paying foreign countries to take migrants is a bad idea, they can use that as extortion. If Italy needs labor then get them from India and the Philippines not illegal African migrants. If Italy wants to reverse its birth rate decline than stop convincing young women to chase careers in their 20s instead convince them to start families in their 20s and pursue careers after their children are grown, go back to traditional gender roles if you want your populations to bounce back or be condemned to Islam. I'm disappointed with Meloni. If Italy really want to get control of its boarders then it will have to leave the European Union and suspend all asylum applications.

  6. Italian government never gets it right. If they want to bring in new workers look no further than the numerous Italian Americans who would love to come back but instead you make us jump through hoops to obtain citizenship to move and work there with money already to buy homes and job skills.

    I myself am in the process and if my mother wasn’t retired and had the free time I wouldn’t be doing it. They make the process so long and a lot of leg work and all these loop holes to begin with. I know numerous people who gave up even trying to do it but want out of the USA since the direction it’s taken post Trump.

  7. Meloni PM in the Italian goverment, i will say we migrants are pleased in the country and the prime minister Meloni, needs an economic help because economic is a science which study human behavior and a relationship between ends and scarys mean so if you look at we the migrants in Italy, we have everything including house to sleep, food to eat, cloths to wear, medical cares, giving documents, giving pocket moneys and any kind of hospitally we have it from them with much love and respects. This world is just one big community and God blessings is for all.

  8. Meloni's policies seem to be much more aligned with progressives than the "far right" label she gets. I guess Italians only have Salvini left in the hard anti-immigration camp, but he is not popular due to his pro-Russian stance.

  9. Dumbest idea ever, cost almost 3 times as much housing them in a foreign country than in Italy not counting The operating cost of all the processing and shipping people back and forth. Just good for the Italian and Albanian fixers skimming all that government €.

  10. The Migrant Crisis Explained

    sub-saharan africa has all kinds of freshwater resources.

    but afican heroin has been stealing so many illegally obtained shipments of livestock feed from the United States that pumps over the Ogallala Aquifer have been sucking air lately.

    AND we have lost so much topsoil into a sub saharan methane plume, that the success of the "end world hunger" campaign seems to be something that will arrive after we all starve to death.

    AND because Sub-saharans have food and water, they have been expanding into the dry regions EXACERBATING the water scarcity there….SUB-SAHARANS CAUSED EUROPE’S MIGRANT CRISIS !!!

    but then when the migrant crisis starts, the Subsaharans say " Oh, We Are Migrants Also !!! “

    Sub-saharans are ALSO rapidly expanding in south america, CAUSING THE MIGRANT CRISIS IN AMERICA AS WELL !!!
    where the Subsaharans also say " Oh, We Are Migrants TOO !!! “

  11. We are kind of a Banana Republic about that.
    Populist politicians try to convince us that migrants are invading Italy for electoral benefits.
    The reality is they are totally incompetent to make any integration policy that works.
    All other big nations in Europe have much more immigrants, all a lot more intagrated. Just watch the national football teams ( a big measure of judgement in Europe XD): other teams have half of the squad of black people or north africans, great players. We have 0/1 maybe black person in the team, this tells a lot.
