Would be enough to recognize them, call the families and give them the opportunity to meet with them.


Furio these are illegal immigrants.

What they are doing is not the same as Italian people have done and still do. When an Italian person immigrated to the United States, Canada, or a South American country they did so legally, had a job lined up, had a sponsor or family member already here or going with them, were going to become a citizen of the United States, Canada, or a South American country, or they were going to go back to Italy.

You could not just show up in the United States, Canada, or a South American country then and expect them to let you in. They also would make immigrants pay money or earn money to pay for their trip and entering into a new country, go through medical exams, basic intelligence tests, and they made immigrants answer questions about themselves and why they were going to the United States, Canada, or a South American country like Argentina.

People who are illegal immigrants who go to Italy or the United States do not want to become citizens, and most just want to get free benefits via the governments of these countries.
