I_IMMIGRATION PROBLEM

In many African
countries living
conditions are dreadful.
food is a question of life
and death.
thousands of people die
from starvation.
Agriculture and industry
are underdeveloped.
The only solution for
poor people is to leave
their native lands in
search of a job.
In many countries
dictatorship is still
existent. This often
leads people to
emigrate to countries
where civil rights,
freedom of press and
of expression are
granted. In Europe the
number of political
refugees is high.
For example, illegal
immagration is dealt with as a
crime, punishable with fines
of up to €10.000. Migrants
without a stay permit can be
held for up to 6 months in
detention centres. If they
are not granted a stay
permit, they are expelled and
must return to their own
country. The processes of
integration are recent in
Italy and vary according to
the local realities and the
immigrant groups.
Most of the Africans in Sicily are
Tunisians and Moroccans, but many are
from Nigeria and the Ivory Coast.
There are also big communities of
Chinese and Indians
