The CEI against the use of electoral Immigration
I hope the Italian bishops, in a statement that the forthcoming local elections in Italy 'is a' important occasion because the issues of social justice and inclusion, return to center programs and local policies, avoiding the issue of immigration is being used for electoral purposes and ideologically biased. "
The Bishops' Conference also reaffirms that it is "inappropriate and erroneous ruling any criminalization of immigrants."
The statement of the bishops, signed by the Episcopal Commission for Migration (CEMI) and the Fondazione Migrantes Osservatore Romano was published today under the title "The integration back to the center of local politics." In the note, the bodies of the CEI also urged to "a commitment to education and social world of the Catholic laity, because the issue of immigration is at the center of town and the life of our city."
continue then the sparks on the relationship between immigration and crime: the CEMI and Fondazione Migrantes reiterate what has already been highlighted by the Secretary of the CEI, Mgr. Marian Crusade, the fact that there is no connection between immigration and crime and, "therefore, is improper and erroneous ruling any criminalization of immigrants." In addition, there is still in the press, dall'apposito chapter of Caritas-Migrantes Dossier of 2009 (extrapolating complaints against well-known authors and equating age groups between Italians and the actual number of immigrants) show a similar crime rate among Italians and foreign residents.
