In Clooney’s Italian Hometown, Immigration Is Key

Clooney by Ed Van-West Garcia

When I think of Lake Como in Italy, I think of George Clooney. Don’t judge. I’m pretty sure most of our readers would say the same. And, by the way, you’re welcome for the editorial decision to include a photo of George instead of a photo of the picturesque Northern Italian city.

Today, the NYT has coverage of the local elections in Como, which are seen as a harbinger for upcoming national elections.

What’s the big issue? Immigration, of course!

The debate centers on what ought to be done with African migrants who are currently living in Italy but who hope to head North to work in Switzerland or other parts of Northern Europe.
