Reply to: Racist or simply stating the facts?

One crime for 'illegal immigration' = first sentence

One crime for 'mugging' etc = second sentence

As long as the immigrant is sentenced for TWO crimes committed then it is not racist.

Saves on paperwork I suppose

If they give them an additional sentence for being illegal immigrants then of course that is not racist, but the text said that they were going to give longer sentences for the same crime. There is a subtle difference.

illegal immigrants convicted of crimes will now face jail sentences a third longer than those for Italians.

Er! the Italians aren't illegal immigrants in Italy

That would be the foreigners (Illegal immigrants) That are being discriminated against because they are being punished for being illegal immigrants as well, see

I don't suppose that it would sit well with Italians if Italians were prosecuted for being illegal immigrants in Italy in an Italian court

It is racist to give one sector of society longer sentences than others for the same crime.
I suppose Italy can get away with it because they do not have our stupid Human Rights laws which were incorporated into our law by New Lie, that go too far the other way.

It states that the extra punishment is for 'illegal immigrants'. That's totally justified because they have committed two crimes: the one for which they are tried, and the fact that they are an illegal immigrant.

Anyway, the story of the girl called 'Talula does the Hula from Hawaii' is far more interesting...

Discuss please.

Only racist if they claim something against another race than southern europeans.

Seems like a reasonable response to an established problem. Though I wonder how they define "foreigner".

The figures are not racist but they do prove one thing. The locals are more inclined to try to kill you than to nick your wallet.
