Interior Minister Angelino
Alfano said Tuesday Italy is ready to open more migrant
identification hotspots as requested by the EU. "(We want to)
remove the pretext for those who using (the lack of) hotspots to
not relocate or repatriate (asylum seekers)," Alfano said. As
well, he said Italian law already allows for use of force in
fingerprinting newcomers should they resist attempts at
identification. The EU yesterday criticized Italy for not doing
more to identify migrants who wash up on its shores.
