Gregory Tenenbaum: I asked if you could post official "anti-Roma policies".
Yet you haven't.

The article you posted sites none. And please: There is no fingerprinting of Roma going on. None. Italy must follow European rule about such things. Gypsy camps destroyed? There are over 700 (!) such camps in Italy alone. Many recieve electricity and water for free from their host communities. Unsanctioned camps will be closed.

As for: "Italy's highest appeal court ruled that it was acceptable to discriminate against Roma..." This is a gross distortion of a judge's individual ruling in a court case in Verona. As it is his fuling recieved plenty of criticism but it has nothing to do with official policy.

Is there tension in some communities? Yes. Official anti-Roma policies? No.

In the meantime in the US there is a mass arrest of nearly 400 migrant workers:

And BTW: I am not criticizing the US's handling of such situations or the Mexican border wall and so forth. The US has a right to protect it's borders. And so do we.

Now, I'll ask again, will you please post some specific anti-Roma policy in effect here in Europe.

Thanks.
