anticipate the text of the "Close" to exit with the number 8 of Famiglia Cristiana.
is fair to give credit to the Government and the Minister Maroni that he moved early to tackle the wave of migrants coming from the southern shores of the Mediterranean, upset by political upheavals. There have been smeared, from the welcome center in Lampedusa, having inexplicably closed for three days, the insistent polemic against the European Union (criticizing those who would help us is not a winning strategy!), But can not be said that the humanitarian crisis We have caught unprepared.
What, however, it must be said is that the right response to these days is, in fact, a denial to the policy that the Government has taken, until yesterday, on the topic of illegal immigration, culminating in the so-called " security package "and the strategy of" rejections ". Those who today call with respect "refugees" are the same as yesterday scornfully called "illegal." Equal to the barges. Identical reasons: to find peace, hope and work in Europe. Indeed, strictly speaking, the "refugees" of today would, paradoxically, less reason to be greeted with respect to "illegal immigrants" who, just yesterday, dragged to the prisons of Colonel Gaddafi.
The current wave is formed mainly by Tunisians: Yes, a living being scary, the ending of a regime, the transition to a future still unclear. But the share of GDP (that is, national wealth) per person in Tunisia is $ 9,500 a year, while in Eritrea is 700. And in Somalia even 600, which is living with just over 50 cents a day. In Tunisia, there were a few days of unrest in Somalia's war for twenty years and Eritrea is holding a regime of torture and the gulag. Yet, Eritreans and Somalis have been "rejected". Still pending against Italy at the European Court of Justice, the lawsuit filed by twenty-four Somalis and Eritreans who were, in fact, driven back to Libya.

The "Highlights" of the Christian Family number 8. Politics and the massive influx of foreigners to our shores: there something to remember about illegal immigrants and rejection.
The crisis in North Africa to Italy and Europe poses two problems. The first is political: can the continent, and our country first, check with the southern shore of the Mediterranean with pure fear and closing when no regret for dictators become unbearable to their people? The second, more important, is both civic, cultural and religious. Bishop Luciano Monari, Bishop of Brescia, touched on the issue with great realism in his Letter on the pastoral care for migrants. We can not accept all or reject all, wrote the bishop. That, however, warns: "Who in his heart despises the other, or consider them inferior or exclude them from his friendship, so that it becomes unable to announce the Gospel to them."
In spite of too many unnecessary proclamations on the values \u200b\u200band Christian roots.
