Sometimes immigration can be thought of as something that’s a hot-button issue in the U.S. but that’s just not the case. Europe has it’s own issues with the latest headlines showing French actress Cecile Cassel being shocked that her latest film, is being used as propaganda tool by Italy’s xenophobic Northern League Party.
The party is doing whatever it can to seriously crack down on immigrants coming into Italy’s borders. Apparently the leader of the party Umberto Bossi, has in the past suggested opening fire on migrants on boats coming from Africa.
Cassel has said, “Let’s just say that if I had known, I probably would not have accepted the part.”
We have to commend Cassel for standing up and speaking out. And it makes us step out of the box and realize that xenophobia is becoming more and more prominent across the globe.
