Italy''s conservative leader Giorgia Meloni has overseen 64% plunge in illegal immigration, foreign minister boasts
[NYPOST] Under Italia's conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the nation's level of illegal immigration has plunged 64% after she cracked down hard on smugglers and worked with Italia's neighbors to stop the flow, the country's foreign minister boasted.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Sunday that her success shows that enforcing tough border policies is possible — it just takes hard work.
''It's not easy. We've worked hard to achieve this goal,'' Tajani told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' ''Sunday Morning Futures.'' ''We are very happy for this. We are not against legal immigration, rather against illegal immigration.''
''We are working with an agreement with Tunisia, with Egypt, with Libya. We are working with the North African countries for reducing the boats coming —[and] fighting against the crime.''
