We Italians should be concerned
We Italians should be concerned
Dear readers, I am going to stop writing my life story for a
while, I will come back to it another time, because there are other things more
important to write about. Let me explain, I have already written and published
some articles in another site. Now these articles have a lot to do with Italy,
so, because I am a Italian I am going to publish these articles in my blog,
that in a way has got a lot of Italian content, so, let me repeat these
articles here in my blog, Genzano it story, as I am sure that most Italian
emigrant would be interested.
What I am going to write in this article today, it is an issue that has
been on my mind for a long time; it has been on my mind, because I was born in
Italy and I feel that I am still Italian, therefore, whatever happens in Italy
it affects me personally as well, and for that reason, I would like to say
something about it if I can, so, I am writing this article to have my say.
Anyhow, today while I am trying to finish this first article, I have become
aware this I have lots of things to talk about, so there will be more than just
this article, as we will explain later.
The reason why I am writing it now and not before, it is because there
are a couple of things that have happened recently and they have pushed me to
write this personal article. Now, I believe that as things are today in Italy,
Italy seems to have so many problems to cope with, one of which is the illegal
migration from Africa and the Middle East. This illegal emigration touches me
personally, because in the fifties and sixties, we Italians had to emigrate
ourselves to other countries to find work, and one of this emigrant was myself.
But since then, a lot of things have changed and today the Italian people
are better off; they are so much better off than then, that instead of people
living Italy to find work somewhere else, they are somehow able to help other
people that move to Italy illegally, even if they cannot give them some work,
because even today there is not enough work for the Italians. I see that this
illegal emigration could cause a problem soon. So, I wish that somebody somehow
would come up with a solution, how to stop or control it to an acceptable
level. You see, I believe that this uncontrolled migration could create some
serious problems in the future, therefore, I feel concerned, and here I am
writing them.
Anyhow, while I was looking in the news on the Internet, for any signs or
any ideas that could slow this unwanted emigration down, to my dismay, instead
of finding this solution how to stop the illegal emigrant coming in, in large
numbers, I found in Hub Pages an article that was showing the benefit of
migrating to Italy and Europe. I know that the writer was writing only his
point of views, without thinking of the consequence this could eventually
cause. Anyhow, to me this article seems as if the writer is encouraging other
people to migrate to Italy and Europe, which I believe is not a good thing to
do, as I am going to explain some of the reasons, which will be evident by the
time I finish writing about my concerns. But let us leave behind this
difference of opinion between me and the Hub Pages writer; because I would like
to point out, what are the real problems over there, and then we will talk
about some of the major issues one by one, including this article that I found
in Hub Pages.
Looking at these Italian issues from far way, since I happen to be today
in Australia the land of the Kangaroos’,
because I am so far away, for this reason, I imagine that I would be able to
see these important issues, in a different way, and perhaps better than the
people that live on the spot in Italy, because I am not directly affected by
what is happening over there just now. So, let me write down my point of views,
about the illegal emigrant and other things.
--------------------------------
This is a boat full of illegal emigrant people, they could be said to be lucky, because even if the boat is overloaded, it is still floating and they seem safe enough.

The illegal
emigrants’ problem
Anyhow, I should say first that I am proud of what the Italians are doing
these days, since what they are doing is being done on humanitarian grounds. We
know that helping other people in need is the best thing that we humans could
and should do, so, we should encourage this sort of behaviour all the time.
But, there is a big question mark here. Could this sort of behaviour in the
long run be detrimental to the helper themselves? So, let us see what this
could mean.
As we have said, in Italy we have a big problem with the illegal
emigrants, because there are too many of them coming in, we also believe that
from what we see happening in the world, this emigration problem will continue
for a long time. So, we Italian should be concerned, but not only we Italians
should be concerned about that, because, I believe that also the rest of the
world should be concerned about what is happening today in Italy and other part
of the world as well.
Anyhow, let us continue these discussions, or point of views if you like
to call them that; so, let us see what is happening in Italy, because there is
some news from Italy that should concern most of us Italians, even if today,
some of us like myself happen to live outside Italy, perhaps these issues
should concern other people as well. My own personal point of views is that
Italy today is under a strain, it has been so for a long time, because of the
refugees and the illegal migrants that come to Italy every day, the last count
that I have heard of, there were 156 thousand refugees this year alone, there
were also over 4200 people that drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, so, the
Italians and other countries as well feel that they should help them and they
do, because on humanitarian grounds that needs to be done.
But, this is not all that needs to be done today, because even this
drowning issue is not the main problem for the Italian people over there,
because, for the last two months there have been several earthquakes in central
Italy, which have damaged lots of towns, and there were near 300 victims from
these earthquakes, in some of these towns there is hardly any building left
standing. So, Italian people should solve these two huge problems that keep
going on, one after the other, with no end in sight.
Now, in this article, I would have liked to
talk about three main issues, the earthquake problems, the refugees and illegal
emigrant, and last of all discuss about the article on Hub Pages that seems to
encourage illegal emigrant to go to Italy, the gateway of Europe. But it looks
like that this article is becoming too long already. So, I may have to write
two or three articles to say what I want to say. But to conclude this article,
let me talk about the earthquake and the Italian response.

The Italian
earthquake
Today, if we Look at what is happening in
Italy, here we are talking about the earthquake and everything else, I believe
that the Italian authorities are coping very well indeed, in doing what needs
to be done. As most of us may have noticed in the daily news, there are too
many things that the Italian authorities need to do all at the same time, while
they have also so many other problems going on. Now, the Italian are not rich
people, because Italy is a small country in size compared to other countries
with the same population; Italy is also poor, because every now and then there
are these earthquakes that destroy many towns, like what has happened just now.
Some people might think that you can just rebuild again and the problem is
over. But it is not so, you see every time something is destroyed, the country
becomes poor because of the destruction. In Italy, there are too many
mountains, so, some of this territory is not easily cultivable, but the
Italians are good at finding what they could grow on some small piece of land,
if they live in the mountains, and they do. They are also good at doing other
things, since most of them are individual that try hard to solve their own
problems. But even knowing that they can solve many problems, today they should
be concerned, because there are several negative things all happening at the
same time. Anyhow, now let us talk about what the Italians are doing because of
the earthquake.
When earthquake like these that are happening
in Italy take place and there are hundreds of dead people, and tens of
thousands have their houses destroyed and become in a way refugees, usually
other countries come to help, but this time there was no much help from outside
Italy, and if there was any it was not mentioned much in the news. So, it seems
from here that the Italian people could cope with the earthquake problem so far
by themselves.
The Italian government and authorities have
been quick to get involved, so, they have already promised to the people that
they will rebuild the damaged houses and everything else that needs to be
rebuilt, so, now it remains to be seen, if what the authorities have promised
the people affected from the quake, is going to be delivered on time and to the
standard that they have promised; we hope they do, for the benefit of everybody
involved.
Now, I should say that next step is going to
be a critical one, because while the government is giving money to re-build,
the damaged houses and everything else that needs to be rebuilt, there could be
some greedy idiots that don’t care about the plight of the rest of the
community that need help, so, they want a share of the government money; here I
am talking about the mafia and other criminal groups, I hope that they are
caught in time from the Italian authorities before they do any damage. My own
personal view about them is that they are a disgrace to the Italian people that
work so hard to achieve a good outcome for everybody, they should be ashamed of
themselves, instead of being proud to be robbers.
Anyhow, I believe that I have said enough
about the earthquake for the time being, because I would like to talk a bit
about the refugees and illegal emigrants that come to Italy by thousands just about
every day, which is another problem for the Italian government and we should be
concerned about that, as we are going to write in our next article, that
perhaps we could call, Italian concerns continued.
See you soon.
