Xenophobia has reached new heights with the Italian minister Umerto Bossi. He suggests firing cannons at illegal immigrants.

Bossi is the leader of the rightwing extremist party Lega Nord, and wants to implment tougher measures against illegal immigration which is increasingly a problem for Italy.

– There are two ways of enforcing the law. Our ships will either confront illegal immigrants who try to sneak into land secretely, or we will have to write in black and white that violence will be used, Bossi says to the Corriere della Sera newspaper according to the AFP.

– After the second or third warning, BOOM, fire the cannons. Don't talk. Or this problem will never be solved, says Bossi.

Bossi is a member of Silvio Berlusconis government as a minister of reform, and thinks that his government needs to use tougher measures in order to halt illegal immigration.

UMBERTO BOSSI: Vil bruke kanoner mot innvandrere Av: Øyvind Ludt 16. jun 14:57

Fremmedfrykten når nye høyder hos den italienske ministeren Umberto Bossi. Han foreslår å skyte med kanoner mot ulovlige innvandrere.

Bossi er leder av det høyreekstreme partiet Lega Nord, og vil ta sterke midler i bruk mot innvandring som er et stadig større problem i Italia. – Det er to måter å håndheve love på. Enten vil våre skip konfrontere innvandrerne som sniker seg i land i hemmelighet, eller så får vi skrive svart på hvitt at makt vil bli brukt, sier Bossi til avisen Corriere della Sera ifølge AFP.

– Etter den andre eller tredje advarselen, boom - avfyr kanonen. Ikke snakk for mye. Ellers vil vi aldri løse dette, sier Bossi.

Bossi sitter i Silvio Berlusconis regjering som reformminister, og mener myndighetene må ta hardere i for å hindre ulovlig innvandring.

LOL! That's rich, Laz!

Let the "immigrants" take their filth somewhere else. 3000 illegals per month in a country of 60 million is a big problem. Sink a few ships and let them swim back to where they came.
