Any of you familiar with the case of Amanda Knox, an American student in Italy charged with the murder of her British roommate?
A far-right Italian political party is using the crime as Exhibit A in a campaign against immigration—or as they put it, the “immediate repatriation by force of every foreigner who is not in Italy for work useful to our nation.”
It’s not really a surprise to see the right wing in other countries can play the immigrant=criminal card, but it’s kind of odd to see an American as the face of the unwanted foreign hordes.
