Thousands Gather in Rome for Anti-Migrant Rally, ‘Stop the invasion!’

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Rome Saturday to march in protest against the European Union’s lax immigration policies and what they described as the “invasion” of Italy by migrants. The demonstration began at a refugee welcome center in Piazza Vittorio, Rome, and as they marched, the protesters chanted, “Stop the invasion! This is my home!”

Referring to the migrant crisis, Di Stefano said that Italy “is no paradise and the people coming in are living at the margins of society with nothing to do. We would like to help these people, but in their home countries, by creating the conditions for them not to have to leave.”

“We want a transformation of Africa into a garden from which people don’t need to flee,” Di Stefano said.

Two thousand law enforcement officers were on hand to ensure the safety of the marchers from counter-demonstrators, and despite their presence some threw eggs at the marchers as they wended their way through Rome’s streets. A group of anti-fascist counter-protesters assaulted a van carrying German citizens, shattering its windshield and side windows with blows from motorcycle helmets.

My wants are more simple. I want the Africans to do whatever they want as long as they stay there.

"We would like to help these people, but in their home countries, by creating the conditions for them not to have to leave.”

It's not the responsibility of Italians or other Europeans to create livable conditions in Africa or anywhere else outside of their own domain.

Getting old...

I’m sure if we tried doing what he suggests we would be accused of neocolonialism, eurocentrism and of course racism.

I agree, leave them be as they are and where they are. We need to protect our homelands. Sooner or later it will become crystal clear that the only solution to the “race problem” is a friendly separation of the races.

The Pope and his church is like Target.

Both organizations seem inordinately concerned with making sure perverts who like to be around kids can continue to have access to them.

I'm sorry if I intruded on a discussion between Catholics in this thread, but I was raised in it as a kid and now see it as a sinister and malevolent government agency.

The media in America won’t cover it. And should someone post it on facebook it will be removed.

Just like the protest in Belgium of nearly 100,000 that our MSM here ignored...

The only way that they’ll return to their countries is after Islam is abolished.

Trump, “Let’s run the US like a business, not like a charity.” Goes for all.

Did you mean to post your comment to another thread? It has no relationship to the article presented whatsoever.
