Italy Passes Emergency Immigrant Rape Laws

The governing coalition led by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has instituted a long-needed decree to grapple with rampant sexual violence associated with the illegal immigration invasion.

The new measures, which mandate mandatory life sentences for those who rape children or murder their rape victims, has been greeted with a storm of hysteria from open borders advocates concerned more with the welfare of illegal immigrants than with the safety of Italian women and children or justice for their families.

The new measures also allow for the integration of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=6050 as auxiliaries for police in efforts to help forestall immigrant crime. The decision was made after spontaneous citizens groups associated with the nationalist Northern League, part of the ruling coalition, began operations in response to rising Third World crime and a perceived lack of police resources to cope with the crisis. Earlier the government had ordered military patrols in high crime areas, and Italy’s tradition of grassroots “counter power” in the face of weak central government spurred the move to “regularize” what are now being condemned by vocal opponents as “vigilante groups.” Interior Minister Roberto Maroni of the Northern League outlined the plan. “Volunteers who take part in patrols will not be armed but they will have mobile phones and radios for reporting things to security forces,” he said. The decree follows three brutal sex crimes in recent days that have renewed a national outcry over immigrant crime. Immigrant rapists were blamed for attacks on three women, two of them young teenagers. One of the alleged rapists was a Tunisian who had recently been let out of prison.

The news also comes after new government statistics found that immigrants are behind an estimated 35% of all crime.

The decree is part of a package plan that gives the government the power to detain illegals for up to six months in efforts to identify them and to spike bogus “asylum” claims, the latest weapon in Europe’s open borders struggle.

Immigrants (and their leftist advocates, who are vocal but enjoy little popular support), have not reacted well. Tunisian illegals detained in a new facility on Lampudesa, an island near Sicily, went on a rampage.

The left, which was trounced by Berlusconi’s coalition in recent elections after running Italy into the ground, may be unhappy, but their former supporters, the white working class, have switched their allegiance to the “far right,” to such an extent that the once powerful Communists were denied seats in parliament for the first time since the end of the Second World War. While the left might be unhappy, the Italian people are pleased with Berlusconi’s get-tough policies. Since his election sex crimes have plummeted by ten percent over the levels presided over by the leftist government.
