Italy Using Forces to Halt Illegal Immigrants

The interior minister of Italy sent in forces to halt Tunisia immigrant from coming in. In the most recent days 3,00 people have been arriving by boat to Italian islands. Roberto Maroni, the interior minister of Italy, is asking for permission to go into Tunisia and block the people. Moaroni was quoted as saying, "it is a flow of immigrants of biblical proportions". People traveling to the Italian island, Lampedusa, are sleeping outside because there aren't enough places for them to stay. Italy is now opening the immigrant holding center and airlifting them to give their information.
