Silvio Berlusconi lies about welcoming immigrants

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has issued a bald lie about how his country welcomes immigrants. He's forgotten about the Roma.

The article reports that his government decided to have the Roma fingerprinted - a clear incidence of targeting an ethnic group.

Authorities in Rome are more sensible than he, and have refused to execute the order. The European Parliament has passed a resolution condemning the process. Berlusconi says that somehow, fingerprinting the Roma will ensure that children go to school. He needs a lesson in causality, and he needs to be stopped. How far behind can internment camps be?
