The Italian Parliament has approved a tough new immigration and security law that will make it easier to deport migrants who commit crimes and strip those convicted of terrorism of their Italian citizenship.
A primary objective of the new law is to limit the number of migrants granted asylum in Italy.
Under the previous system, the conditions to qualify for humanitarian protection - one of the three forms of protection granted to asylum seekers, in addition to political asylum and subsidiary protection - were vague and subject to abuse.
The asylum application may also be suspended if the applicant is in a criminal proceeding for one of the aforementioned crimes and would result in the refusal of asylum in the event of a final conviction.
The law also introduces new categories that qualify an asylum application as "Manifestly unfounded" in the case of: people who have made inconsistent statements; people who have made false information or provided false documents; people who refuse to be fingerprinted; people who are subject to deportation orders; people who constitute a danger to order and security; foreigners who entered Italian territory in an irregular manner and who did not immediately apply for asylum.
Article 12 stipulates that henceforth only unaccompanied minors and those persons who qualify for international protection will be allowed to use the system for the reception of asylum seekers and refugees, the ordinary reception system managed by Italian municipalities.
At a press conference, Interior Minister Salvini said that the new law would provide order for a dysfunctional asylum system.
