How Meloni (Sort of) Solved Italy’s Migration Crisis

For the past two years, Giorgia Meloni has made lowering immigration a central focus for her government. And, while the initial results were poor, the latest data shows a surprisingly staggering drop in small boat crossings.

TLDR does love to use that barbed wire PNG when immigration comes up

[netiturtle]

1:20 Terms 'immigration' and 'irregular immigration' should not be used interchangeably

[christal]

What is "irregular immigration"?? Its ILLEGAL migration. And please dont switch between terms immigration and illegal immigration, those are two completely different groups.

[MisterJasro]

When you're using old tweets in your video, like at 3:17, would you mind also adding the date at which that was written? It'd help me with mentally mapping out a timeline

[alexsocial]

Ah yes the "let's not count them" approach

[Dagua]

No. She has just bought a bigger rug to hide the dust.

[Thejoker]

No way there is only 32% of Sweden thinks immigration is a burden and 62% its good hell na that is soo when was this study done 2015?

[ryank]

The way you designed the foreign born population chart for france is pretty misleading compared to the german and italian ones.

[ChrisBa]

I remember visiting the great City of Rom last year after hearing how beuit is for years only to be greeted by atleast 20 migrants sleeping at one of the main Bus stations on the floor. Their solution to the problem seemed to just ignore it. They treated the migrants like pigeons.

[GeorgiaMartin-llqg]

If people are not ethnically European, Italians will consider them foreigners, even if they were born in Italy. For this reason, and because we have so many illegal immigrants hanging about every train station, port, various streets and seafronts selling crap, etc, Italians feel we have a much higher number of immigrants.

[stormcloak]

Italian here: boat crossings were reduced but the amount of non-european immigrants increased. My small town got invaded by pakistanis and bangladeshis to the point where some hotels were filled with them. I don't understand what's the point of voting anymore

[Leptospirosi]

The assumption by TLDR that Migration is all the same is baffling!
For years, Italy has been unable to process legally submitted request for immigration due to the avalanche of ILLEGAL migrants that just forced their way in.
The issue of shortage in the workforce can be easily solved by issuing permits to people that "does it right" now that the uncontrolled flood is stopped.
Skilled migrant are all welcome but we need to put the issue under control of the state, not of human traffickers.
Migrants that are a burden for the state and ends in illegal activities, willingly or unwillingly are NOT!

[Goldieczech]

i see now that TLDR got much bigger than when i started watching, they now also struggle to differiente illegal migrants and foreign workers

[CrowScareify]

As someone who has been working in immigration for the better part of a decade, it is INCREDIBLY complex and i am so tired of the false dichotomy of "you are either pro-immigration or anti-immigration"

[clownofthetimes]

In 2019 62% of Sweden thought Immigration made them stronger?
Is that why they have voted in an anti immigration party.
In the Uk an immigration party is poised to overtake the Torries as second party and could be elected in 5 years time.
Using five year old data is ridiculous.

[johnl.]

There’s a distinct difference (educations, skills….) between Legal Immigration and Illegal Migration

[odoardofranceschini]

Italian here. Illegal immigration is a burden both side, dunno where these numbers are taken but go to visit Italy and will see how the situation is atm. Skilled workers will be always welcome, this is what Meloni is trying to do. If italians are not doing enough childern is because we got poorer during last decades due to a lower productivity (..) and politics/politicians are not helping families.

[getnohappy]

Immigration is a subject that short circuits everyone: Right declares it to be an existential threat and are called fascist; the Left declares it a utopian ideal and are called naïve or delusional. And it's an areas where both sides have merit; we can't ignore the *wink wink* behind what the Right says, but neither can we ignore that mass migration causes social tension and the costs/benefits are not equally distributed. Sadly I can't see any common ground being reached as each's base must be maintained.

[sccello]

It doesn't make sense that worker visas would be picked up by illegal immigrants. A visa is inherently an application you make to the government that the government has granted. You can't have a visa and be an illegal immigrant. You can become an illegal immigrant if you overstay your visa time allowance, but you can't have both at the same time.

[GeorgiaMartin-llqg]

The first chart that was used must be extremely old. It shows the Suedes and the Brits being happy with immigration, which couldn’t be further from the truth
