Mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, a domestic policy proposal already discussed in the United States, are raising heated debates in Italy as well. According to a recent survey conducted by Termometro Politico, Italians are divided on this measure, reflecting a heterogeneous and polarizing landscape of opinion. 35.7% of respondents support the deportation of all immigrants without residence permits. For this segment of the population, indiscriminate deportation is a necessary measure to ensure compliance with the rule of law. An additional 19% share this position, but with an important reservation: deportations should only concern those who do not have a job or a source of livelihood. On the opposite side, 26.8% believe that the solution is not right and instead propose paths of integration. According to these respondents, with a few exceptions, irregular immigrants should be accompanied in training processes that allow them to integrate into the world of work and society. Finally, 16.7% categorically reject the very concept of regulars and irregulars, considering any form of deportation unfair. "No human being can be treated like a package," this portion of the sample argues, emphasizing a more humanitarian and universal perspective. It is worth noting that only 1.8% of respondents say they are undecided or have no definite position on the issue, a figure that highlights how much the issue is felt and discussed.
