The Holy Father recalled that migrants “are faces and not numbers,” who must be removed “from the tentacles of criminal organizations, capable of ruthlessly speculating on their misfortunes.”
“You are entrusted with the arduous task of organizing an orderly reception on the ground, based on integration and constructive inclusion in the local fabric,” he highlighted.
Likewise, he assured that “we must be careful. We must welcome, accompany, promote and integrate immigrants. If there is not this, there is danger; “If there is not this path towards integration, there is danger.”
He also highlighted his concern about the low birth rate in Italy, a “land where there is a lack of children, and migrants come.”
