Gli immigrati spinti ai margini della societá italiana
Da NPR.org. "Da paese povero fonte di emigrazione, l'Italia ha iniziato ad attrarre lavoratori dall'estero.(...) Ma, nonostante l'aumento della domanda di manodopera straniera, gli italiani si mostrano riluttanti nell'accogliere questi nuovi immigranti. (...) Secondo alcuni sondaggi europei gli Italiani sono i piú sospettosi nei confronti degli immigrati. E' opinione diffusa inoltre che questi godano di troppi diritti, che molti di loro dovrebbero essere espatriati e che l'immigrazione abbia portato solo aumento della criminalitá. Il termine "invasione" é sempre piú diffuso per definire nuova immigrazione." (Articolo e radio broadcast di Sylvia Poggioli; in inglese)

Immigrants Forced To Margins Of Italian Society
From NPR.org. Once a poor country that sent millions of its citizens abroad to find work, Italy now imports workers. (...) But despite the country's demand for laborers, Italians are extremely reluctant to welcome immigrants. (...) Surveys show that among Europeans, Italians are the most suspicious about immigrants. A majority believes immigrants have too many rights and that many of them should be deported, and that immigration has brought only crime. Talk of an immigrant "invasion" is widespread.
