Thousands of soldiers were deployed in Italy's major cities from dawn today as part of a drive by Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right government to tackle street crime and illegal immigration.

The deployment of 3,000 troops is part of a security decree adopted last month by the Berlusconi Government, which was elected in May on a law and order platform amid growing public alarm over immigration, crime and illegal gypsy camps.

Some of the troops deployed today are being used to guard immigrant detention centres. Thousands of migrants continue to arrive daily from North Africa in barely seaworthy boats at the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, off the coast of Libya and Tunisia.

The Lampedusa detention centre is at bursting point, regularly housing twice the 850 refugees it is designed to hold. The number of migrant arrivals at the island is twice that of last year, stretching the island's resources and humanitarian services to the limit.

The Italian authorities are airlifting the migrants to other detention centres in Sicily or on the Italian mainland, where after identity checks and further medical attention they are either given political asylum or deported

thats just plain and simply incorrect
If you honestly believe that, read this:

"In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding
warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500)
target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive
felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens......

That sensationalist claim has been investigated and shown to be false. In most cases, the police have no way to determine the immigration status of a suspect that they can't even find. Neither the LAPD nor any other agency keeps statistics on the topic.

The number of outstanding warrants is not closely tied to the murder rate - a person from another country (whether here legally or illegally) is far more likely to leave the US if they commit a murder, which can create a permanent outstanding warrant.

If 95% of homicides in LA were committed by illegal aliens, then the number of murders committed by that group would be 19X greater than the entire legal population. Assuming that citizens in LA commit about the same rate of homicide as the rest of the US, that would put the overall homicide rate in LA at 20x the national average - which is obviously not the case.
