Italy Shows the World That Trump’s Plan Works:
Immigrant Numbers Plummet, by Daphne Moon, 1/30/19.
Could Europe be witnessing a MIGA (Make
Italy Great Again) moment under the nationalist policies of Deputy Prime
Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini?
According to Fox News, Deputy Prime Minister and
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini,
who has led the charge in pushing back against Italy accepting migrants coming
across the Mediterranean from Libya and has all but closed the ports to the
boats, hailed the numbers as a success.
“The data deny those who say that the
Democratic Party had blocked the landings, we are doing more and better,” he
said. “For the first time, returns are greater than arrivals”.
But putting Italy first didn’t sit well
with other European leaders who, like all liberals, fail to understand why
a nation should worry about its own welfare before others.
Italy’s hardline stance has infuriated
other European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who
have criticized the approach and called on Italy to open its ports and accept
more migrants.
So far, that push has had
little success. Last week, the government told an NGO migrant rescue boat carrying
47 migrants heading to the Italian coast that it would not be allowed to land
and that it should go to France instead — although it would first offer medical
supplies to the boat.
“After that, I invite it to point
the bow towards Marseilles and land people on French soil instead of waiting
unnecessarily in Italian waters for days,” Salvini’s coalition counterpart
Luigi Di Maio said via Facebook.
According to The
Daily Wire who pulled their data from the Italian Statistics
Bureau (ISTAT), Italy’s population will drop a total of 10% between 2017
and 2065 — 60.6 million to 54.1 million. “Taking into account the variability
associated with demographic events, the population estimate by 2065 ranges from
a minimum of 46.4 million to a maximum of 62,” they report. “The chance of a
population increase scenario by 2065 is 9%.”
