Anti-Migrant Party: Italy and Invasion Signs

anti-migrant party: Inside, senators from an anti-migrant party, some holding stop invasion signs, interrupted the session, according to Metro News. Currently, foreigners born in Italy can seek citizenship only when they turn 18 and if they have lived in the country since birth. Right-wing protesters marched in Rome Thursday near the Senate, where the bill is being considered. The bill would allow those born in Italy to immigrant parents holding long-term residence permits to seek Italian citizenship as young as age 12 if they have done five years of schooling here. Some 800,000 children could become Italian citizens if the proposal becomes law. Foreign children not born in Italy could also apply, as long as they have done five years of schooling before becoming adults. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
