Immigration as Invasion: Mori Blames EU Treaties

Revisiting Immigration Policies in Italy

The recent developments in Italy regarding migrants being sent to centers in Albania only to be brought back due to a violation of a European Court of Justice ruling have reignited the discussion around immigration management.
This complex issue has attracted the attention of legal experts, including Marco Mori, a commentator from Money.it, who has articulated his concerns on the matter.

According to Mori, Italy’s immigration policy is heavily influenced by EU agreements, a situation characterized by the pyramid of sources whereby EU law takes precedence over national law.
He argues that this dependency poses a significant challenge for Italy:

“Once you enter into treaties, you become strongly bound to them.
To free oneself requires a withdrawal.
The Constitution has also evolved over the years, mandating that national legislation must comply with EU regulations…”

The Dilemma of Control and Culture

This legal framework leads to a weakening of state control over migration, Mori asserts.
The line between welcoming, integrating, and potentially facing an invasion blurs:

“Migration can be justified for humanitarian reasons, but the focus should always be on the need for migrants to integrate into our culture, rather than establishing their niche within our nation while living as if they’re in their homeland.”

He emphasizes that integration is a vital concept; without it, the influx is akin to an invasion, undermining the state’s cultural identity and values, which is unacceptable in defining the essence of a state—comprised of its people, territory, and sovereignty.

Potential Solutions

Mori suggests that withdrawing or suspending EU and international treaties that hinder Italy’s ability to regulate immigration could be a potential solution to curb what he deems an invasion.
While these ideas are contentious and extreme, they open the floor for a broader dialogue on how best to navigate immigration challenges.
