Italy targets illegal immigrants http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7522612.stm

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has won parliamentary backing for a crime package critics say discriminates against immigrants.

Under new laws approved by the Senate, illegal immigrants convicted of crimes will now face jail sentences a third longer than those for Italians. Courts will be able to jail illegal immigrants for up to four years rather than simply deport them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7522612.stm
