“Court of appeal’s u-turn on immigration”, writes La Stampa. The daily reports that illegal immigrants with children studying in Italy cannot avoid deportation by arguing that it would cause a sentimental shock. Refusing an Albanian citizen’s appeal, the court stated that the principle of safeguarding the “psychic and physical development” of children, which blocked the deportation of mothers and fathers of children attending Italian schools, applies only in “emergency situations”. After the introduction of a crime of irregular immigration last year, which reduced the number of undocumented migrants attending hospitals by 30 percent, “schools could become another off-limits zone for foreigners”, the paper comments. The paradox is “having rights, but being unable to use them because of the threat of deportation. An enormous worry, a nightmare that leads them to give up medical care and even salaries. And now education for their children too?”
