European Union Immigration Policy
Posted in EU Info on 10/06/2010 11:23 pm by admin
Do you think Italy’s new immigration policy reinforces the necessity of separation between church & state?
“Since last Friday Italy has sent back to Libya more than 500 migrants despite criticism from the United Nations, the Catholic Church and humanitarian organisations. MARONI URGES EU TO HELP FRONTLINE STATES.”
“Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, who has been spearheading the new measures, urged the European Union to help member states bearing the brunt of illegal immigration in the Mediterranean.”
”Italy is a frontline state against illegal immigration and invests its own funds to protect other European countries but we want the EU to take decisions which it has so far avoided and help countries which face this problem,” said Maroni.”

I tend to agree with Italy’s immigration policy, it is what we should be doing here as well.
Two points to consider is that even in our own constitution there is no mention of the separation of church and state, simply put it says that there should be no law that forces one religion on us.
Secondly, Vatican City is a landlocked sovereign city-state or if you prefer they are a country, albeit the smallest country in the world both in size and population.
They have the right to voice their opinion just as any other country has the right to express their opinion.
