Illegal Immigrants Deported!!!

Where's the outrage? Where are the sympathizers? Who is going to speak out for the illegal immigrants? Oh wait, it's not here in the United States so no one cares about the illegal immigrants.

Italian police announced on Thursday the arrest of hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants in a sign of the new right-wing government's determination to clamp down.

Police arrested 383 people including 268 foreigners, with 53 immediately taken to the border for expulsion, in a week-long operation stretching from northern Italy to the Naples area.

Silvio Berlusconi swept back to power for a third term as prime minister last week promising to get tough on illegal immigrants, blamed by many for crime. He is readying new laws to screen immigrants and jail or expel those breaking the law.

Those arrested came from Eastern Europe, Albania, Greece, North Africa and China and face charges ranging from illegal entry into Italy to prostitution, drug trafficking and robbery.

Then again, most Americans have no idea what's happening outside their own towns let alone outside their country. If this story was about silk bedding in Italy it would have gotten more attention from the press.
