Italy\u2019s new leaders tell 500,000 immigrants:\u00a0Pack Your Bags<\/a>.<\/article>\n<\/p>\n

The right-wing Lega party, which formed a coalition government with Five-Star Movement (M5S) last week, is the driving force behind anti-immigration rhetoric and it is looking to fulfil a pledge to deport as many as 500,000 illegal migrants.<\/p>\n

Lega leader Matteo Salvini \u2014 who is now Italy\u2019s deputy prime minister and interior minister \u2014 reiterated the government\u2019s aim to deport illegal migrants on a visit to Sicily last weekend.<\/p>\n

Noting that Italy managed to remove, by forced deportations and voluntary returns, nearly 6,000 people in 2016 and 6,500 in 2017, when it had bed space for less than 400 in its immigration detention centers, Flynn said removing more people was unfeasible.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine the size of the system necessary to detain 500,000 people to facilitate their deportation? It is an absurd sum of money, not even counting the cost of the deportation flights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe costs are astronomical because forced returns involve a massive amount of work by law enforcement agencies and resources in…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
