Italian Government Prepares to Get Tough on Migrants
Monday, the Italian government proposed strict security measures that will ensure the nation is not overrun by violent migrants fleeing the Middle East and North Africa.
The new law is “a step forward to make Italy safer,” said populist Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.
The bill will help Italy “be stronger in the fight against the mafia and (people) smugglers, reduce the costs of excessive immigration, expel delinquents and fake refugees, strip terrorists of citizenship, (and) give the police greater powers,” according to Salvini.

The Italian system of creating legislation is opposite of the system in America. Italy’s president Sergio Mattarella must first sign off on the proposed bill, which he has 60 days to accomplish. After Mattarella signs it, the bill heads to Parliament for approval.
Migrants seeking refugee status would face much harsher scrutiny if the bill passes. Those who are deemed “socially dangerous or convicted in the first instance” would not be eligible. Immigrants convicted of “terrorism” would also be stripped of their Italian citizenship under the law.
The bill would also give local police more power.
“The new law also lets local police have Taser stun guns and makes it easier to evict squatters by getting rid of the obligation of finding provisional housing for the most vulnerable,” the report said.
Salvini is known for his tough stance on refugeeism. In past months, he has refused several times to allow ships carrying migrants and refugees to dock in Italian ports.

YIKES: Venezuelan Patrol Boat Sinks After Ramming German Cruise Ship
Not the most illustrious incident for Venezuela.
A Venezuelan naval patrol boat ended up sinking after an altercation earlier this week with none other than a German cruise ship.
A statement from Columbia Cruise Services of Hamburg, Germany, explained the oddball confrontation between the luxury cruise ship RCGS Resolute and the Venezuelan naval patrol boat Naiguata.
The Venezuelan boat had radioed the cruise ship, that wasn’t carrying passengers, and demanded to know of the ship’s intentions as it passed by the Venezuelan territory of La Tortuga island. The Resolute’s crew had been carrying on engine maintenance in the area, maintaining they were operating in international waters.
After the cruise ship refused to comply with a demand that it approach the Venezuelan port of Puerto Moreno, the fast boat approached it after midnight on March 30th.
Crew from the Naiguata are said to have fired small arms at the Resolute, after which the boat tried to approach the ship in an effort to force it to change course to Venezuelan territorial waters. The much smaller Venezuelan vessel failed to realize the Resolute had a reinforced hull in order to allow it to sail in icy waters.
The Naiguata suffered serious damages from the repeated collisions with the cruise ship. It began to take on water and efforts on part of the cruise ship’s crew to contact the vessel went totally unanswered. Columbia Cruise Services say the Resolute left the area after receiving word from an international maritime agency that no assistance would be needed, and the Venezuelan crew of the patrol boat were later rescued.
Nicolas Maduro tried to explain away the extremely embarrassing incident for socialist Venezuela, claiming that the luxury cruise ship was carrying foreign mercenaries planning to carry out operations against the country. He described the unarmed luxury cruise ship’s presence north of his country’s territorial waters as a “act of terrorism and piracy.”
